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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Nextech at free against ModMed Practice Add's subscription. Nextech also leads on rating (2.7 vs 2.4). ModMed Practice Add's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nextech holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 83 and 145 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Nextech's written reviews are positive against 27% of ModMed Practice Add's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Nextech ships an update every 5 weeks, ModMed Practice Add weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
