Project poster

Electronic health records (EHR) systems are frustrating to use and suffer from a lack of information sharing. This is due to the absence of a standardized record transmission protocol, which impacts doctors and patients alike. Unfortunately, patients have no input about the technology that stores and shares their sensitive health information. Project Gravity aims to remedy this by giving patients, along with healthcare professionals, a voice in a centralized forum. Together we can positively shape the future of our medical records.
