Furthermore the platform can connect with tools embedded in the health system to update or validate any type of information.
To validate the platform, Iavante and InterSystems have developed a case of consultations between specialist in dermatology, following the health care process to which the system should support, and analyzing technical requirements required by and the usual communication mode to make the system more effective and safe. In following phases project will address the requirements of other specialties that require different features and even the doctor-patient consultation.
