Receive Outside Patient Records With LifeBand Without Changing Your Clinic Software
Doctors and nurses shouldn’t have to wait on fax callbacks or repeat recent scans when a patient arrives from an outside clinic. Built by Emberflow, LifeBand works alongside your current clinic software, checking patient permission and delivering outside allergies, medications, and test results when your team needs them.
Less Time Chasing Faxes
Physicians spend 49.2% of their office day on computer and desk work versus 27.0% face-to-face with patients (Sinsky et al., 2016). Cutting down on manual fax requests gives nurses and staff more time for direct patient care.
Fewer Repeat Scans & Lab Tests
Studies in emergency departments show that when doctors can see outside health records on time, they order fewer repeat imaging scans and duplicate diagnostic tests (Bailey et al., 2014).
Clear Patient Permission Log
LifeBand uses blockchain technology to record verified patient permission and emergency room access logs on-chain, while all actual medical records stay privately stored off-chain at the clinic.
Today’s Fax Delays vs. Connected Care With LifeBand
Today: Manual Faxes, Phone Tag & Repeat Tests
- Missing Outside Records: Less than half of U.S. hospitals (43%) routinely send, receive, find, and integrate outside patient records into daily care (ONC, 2023).
- Hours Spent on Desk Work: Physicians spend nearly twice as much time on computer and desk work (49.2%) as they do face-to-face with patients (27.0%) (Sinsky et al., 2016).
- Repeat Lab & Imaging Scans: When recent X-rays, CT scans, or blood test results cannot be reached in time, doctors often have to order the same tests all over again.
With LifeBand: Connected Care With Patient Permission
- Works With Current Clinic Software: Hospitals and clinics keep the software they already use while connecting to outside care teams through LifeBand.
- Tamper-Proof Permission Log: Patients see every clinic that asks for their records and can approve or turn off access anytime, with every permission recorded on-chain.
- Medical Records Stay at the Clinic: Actual medical charts are never placed on a blockchain; they stay safely stored off-chain at the patient’s healthcare provider.
