EMA Add-On is a companion application to EMA by Modernizing Medicine. It provides our Users with additional functionality that is sometimes necessary for proper usage. Please note that EMA can only be used in conjunction with a subscription-based Web Application Service. Modernizing Medicine introduces the first native iPad application designed for medical surgical specialities — EMA by Modernizing medicine for iPad. Each relevant part of the visit can be recorded in real time by the patients in the waiting room and by the medical assistants, physician extenders, or physicians in the exam room. At the end of each patient visit, data is transmitted back to the server automating documentation without costing the doctor a second.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Companion Plus holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ModMed Practice Add has 145 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of ModMed Practice Add's written reviews are positive against 17% of Companion Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ModMed Practice Add ships an update weekly, Companion Plus every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
