The Fastest Growing Patient Healthcare App in America Closes Next Round Of Funding

GREENVILLE, S.C., Feb. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ChartSpan Medical Technologies announced it has successfully raised a capital round of $1.7 million dollars. Since becoming the most downloaded iPhone and iPad medical app in the U.S. in December, ChartSpan continues to disrupt healthcare with innovative technology empowering patients to manage their own healthcare records and information.

The investment was led by healthcare industry executive and investor, Don Byrne. Byrne started Byrne Medical in 1997, focused on improving infection control. Byrne Medical became a powerful force in the GI endoscopy business, which eventually went on to merge with Minntech Corporation to form Medivators Endoscopy Group in August 2011. It was the same year he was named Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year and won the Gulf Coast Area Award for Manufacturing and Distribution.

ChartSpan was built for patients. It's simple, elegant and converts paper healthcare records to digital data with no manual data entry. On a mobile device, a user can import an electronic healthcare record from any source or take a picture of their record and create a digital record. ChartSpan then extracts the data and populates each user's electronic, personal database. Patients can request records from any doctor in less than :08 seconds. Patients can manage their entire families' records on their smartphone. Records can be searched, based on any keyword.

"Patients have waited for more than a decade for providers to deliver on the promise of 'interoperability,'" said ChartSpan CEO & CoFounder Jon-Michial Carter. "At ChartSpan, we got tired of waiting and built technology that would empower patients to manage their own electronic healthcare records. We are excited to disrupt healthcare, moving the balance of patient data into the hands of consumers."

ChartSpan will release a Google Play (Android) version in the coming weeks.

The investment will be used to build the engineering, distribution, and marketing teams at ChartSpan. ChartSpan has raised nearly $3,000,000 in capital thus far.
