Healthcare Startups: Docphin

The healthcare startup incubator, Rock Health, announced last week their second lineup of health tech companies. Starting in January, 15 new businesses will begin a 5-month program where their developers will be given a $20,000 grant as well as the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals, participate in workshops, and more.

While many of these new companies are geared towards specific types of patients or doctors, Docphin is a service that every physician will find useful. Doctors are always trying to stay up-to-date on the latest research and news in their fields, but a limited amount of time and a plethora of available information often make it difficult to do so. Docphin’s easy-to-use online dashboard allows doctors to sift through piles of journals, articles, blog posts, and other medical publications to find only the most relevant information.

Doctors can log in and pick out their favorite journals or other medical resources and view them through a number of filter options, creating a dashboard with the most up-to-date news, research, and even Twitter feeds. Users can easily share articles with their colleagues or start discussion boards to see what others think.

Docphin is a great free, cloud-based tool that is sure to see some significant growth through Rock Health’s program. Click here to create your own Docphin dashboard.
