Startup Highlight: VMDOC
VMDOC is facing a real uphill battle that has a lot of promise if it works out. The company is working to give power back to patients by giving them the ability to manage their own health records. They have already partnered with a few different EHR providers, but there will be obvious hurdles with big players like Epic that act as real "walled gardens". If they can maneuver through health care's insane interoperability problem, it will be a real game changer for real patient empowerment.
