Access to medical records in both the public and private systems is a right of the patients which allows, among other things, to dynamically monitor treatments and generate medical information to improve the approach to pathologies. The creation of the Mendoza startup Revai It is a precedent to generate virtuous processes of connection between doctors, patients and the scientific community.
The way to manage medical records it is an aspect that affects every person who requires medical attention and is in conditions of vulnerability in the face of a system that is becoming bureaucratized as the pathologies they suffer from are more complex. In this sense, the Revai startup provides a solution for both the patient and the treating physician, since it allows access to information that is generally managed exclusively by the medical institution.
The system is free of charge and can be incorporated into any health system. It works as a digital medical passport that so far is only used in 38 ophthalmology clinics and could set a precedent for the inclusion of other medical specialties.
From the use of this application the patient can access and share your digital medical record with whoever you want and analysis and study tools that allow laboratories and doctors to work together in the research and development of drugs, vaccines and treatments.
“Revai comes to solve the problem of data in general in Argentina. Eight months ago we started this project together with other leading colleagues in ophthalmology, with the aim of solving how we generate good quality information that can help us make better decisions in the face of to our patients’ problems”, explained ophthalmologist Roger Zaldivar, who is one of the founders and directors of the startup together with Diego Cerutti.
“You have an application that in real time provides access to the clinic history, studies, monitoring and real evolution of all your visual health. We want to foster collaborative medicine, we don’t want captive patients,” he added.
The startup has numerous benefits for both patients and scientists since the use of this system generates an ecosystem where all the information is transferred to a large cloud where research studies can be generated by pre-selecting the inclusion criteria and speeding up study times.
“It is a great advance for science, the key is to be able to generate a ball of information that can benefit the patient since your data will enrich other people who have the same pathology as you. Nobody is going to lose the independence of their systems but for data management we have to modify some aspects”, concluded Zaldivar.
