A new, self-titled mobile health app from Duet Health is designed to promote patient adherence and help doctors better communicate with patients.

The driving force behind the app was the idea that patients forget 80 percent of what doctors tell them during office visits, Duet Health CEO Jeff Harper told Columbus Business First.

“The time spent reeducating patients is a significant drain on resources across all healthcare, and our mobile tools are designed to act as an additional guide through each patient’s course of care,” according to Duet Health.

The app is intended for doctors in specialties including obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology and orthopedics.

The app’s features include appointment reminders, medical education materials, secure messaging and a time line based on a patient’s expected course of care, according to a statement from Columbus, Ohio-based Duet Health.

Duet Health is available for use with the iPhone, iPad and Android operating systems.
