Proof of Concept
Customer ValidationBy 2017, 1.7 billion people will be using mobile health apps4
Customer ValidationLynn Brusco, Executive Director at Disruptive Health Technology Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, on Mirror MD:
“In the future of health care, patients, traditionally passive in their care, will have a new role as an engaged part of the solution. An app that allows patients to be proactive, arms the physician with accurate, real-time information and makes the continuum of care more affordable can be a game changer."
Customer ValidationIngrid Gindin, Certified Psychiatrist, on Mirror MD:
“I think its is a great concept. There are some apps out there but I haven’t found anything that people wanted to use. If you can come up with an app that is easy to use, I would definitely see the value in using this program.”
