Research Groundbreakers: Spotlighting Butler, Parashar and Wright for Their Research Work at the U

The US government's Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has awarded a researcher at the University of Utah a three-year, $2 million grant to develop a mobile app that would help elderly patients manage their care, the Deseret News reports.

Dr.orie Butler's app would sync up with their electronic health record and would allow patients to submit their own reports, which would then be entered into an electronic health record that would be entered into a clinical decision support system.
