US Government Grants ModMed® a Patent

BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Healthcare technology innovator ModMed is pleased to announce that the US Government granted Patent No. 11,443,836 protecting some of the core functionality of its EHR system — a system designed to save clinicians time documenting exams and allows them to focus more on the patient in front of them.

“This patent solidifies our position in the EMR market for physicians seeking technology designed to make their lives easier,” said Dan Cane, CEO and cofounder of ModMed. “Physician burnout is very real. By using our patented adaptive learning technology, we are able to streamline the documentation process — saving healthcare providers valuable time. No physician I have ever met went to medical school to treat technology; they went to school to treat patients.”

ModMed offers software solutions developed by physicians for physicians. ModMed cofounder and Chief Medical and Strategy Officer Dr. Michael Sherling, and his team of board-certified physicians, are doctors as well as software coders.

“The patent really highlights how unique and innovative our adaptive logic software truly is,” added Dr. Sherling, who has been a practicing dermatologist since 2006 and currently volunteers in a clinic for underserved communities in Palm Beach County, Florida. “Doctors know what doctors need. We develop our product for the specialties we practice in. Every specialty practices medicine differently and each doctor tailors their practice to the patients they are seeing. Out of the box, EMA has the medical knowledge for each speciality, and this helps reduce physician burnout.”
