Mobile Doctor teams up with Cerner over Mobility Solutions

Cerner has announced that Mobile Doctors (MD 24-7), a physician helpline service headquartered in Dubai, will implement mobility solutions from Cerner to enable MD 24-7's subscribers to access their electronic health record (EHR), schedule appointments and message with a doctor.

"Given the UAE government's strong initiatives around development and digitization of the healthcare industry, we are honoured to support Mobile Doctors as they enhance their patient advocate system to offer world-class services for the community. This agreement will enable the UAE communities to improve their health and wellness using the latest mobile information technology. MD 24-7 is our first relationship in the UAE's private healthcare sector and we look forward to other collaborations," said Michael Pomerance, Vice-President & Managing Director, Cerner Middle East and Africa.

MD 24-7 empowers consumers to speak to a doctor 24 hours a day for medical consultations, triage and care coordination, as well as receive assessments based on evidence-based medicine. In addition to the patient portal, MD 24-7 will implement Cerner's ambulatory EHR and practice management solutions, as well as Cerner PureWellness and others.
