About Us / How all it started

Back in 2010 Dr. Torres decided to create a user friendly EMR for Wound Care Practice with some other key important features in mind. It would also had to be stable, secure, swift documentation and an intelligent system. With his html, php, JS and SQL knowledge he began to develop this incredible software.

An EMR for wound care practice is considered to be the most complex of all EMRs out there. Each patient may have multiple wounds, and some of them from different causes. Therefore, clinicians would need a software to track all their patients and track each of their wounds carefully. The system would offer clinical and treatment recommendations that would also help improve clinical outcomes and decrease medical errors.
