arccMobile™ is the app that enables a healthcare clinician to capture patient clinical multimedia (photos or video) securely with a full audit trail for patient privacy. Media files are automatically uploaded to the secure clinical multimedia healthcare software solution, Apollo arcc®. While the user does not need to purchase a license for Apollo arcc to utilize arccMobile, they must have a username and password along with the appropriate arcc health server access information provided by an Apollo licensee. Apollo licensees are typically hospitals, physician practices, or other healthcare service providers that utilize arcc within an IT infrastructure for their healthcare practice. There are many use cases which can benefit both clinician and patient by using arccMobile. Some example users of arccMobile are Wound Care nurses, ED Physicians, and Dermatologists. Other physicians and clinicians throughout the healthcare enterprise may find use cases that benefit them greatly throughout their workday.
