Innovative Patient Education on Gastroenterology

DrawMD is an app available for an IPad that enables individualized patient education.  Created by two physicians working with the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, this application enables visualization of the problem at hand with associated endoscopic diagnostic and treatment procedures. GI conditions include diverticulitis, diverticulosis, strictures, cancer, polyps, ulcerative colitis, and vascular abnormalities.  The procedures included at this time are colonoscopy, polypectomy, hemicolectomy, endoscopic Mucosal Resection, singe and Double Balloon Enterocsopy, abdominoperineal Resection, and hemostasis. This application can greatly increase patient understanding.  These demonstrations can also be printed and emailed allowing for patient review.
