athenaCapture 17+

Works great

I like using it to document rashes, lacs, diabetic feet etc. I wish it had an overlying ruler or other marker as a reference. I do show patients what I’m doing and demonstrate that no photos remain on my phone. I don’t think it works as well for document uploading. There generally is a shadow cast on the document and unlike the scanner apps it does not change to a PDF file.

2 major issues make this useless

athenaNet forces the photos you add into a short and wide aspect ratio for display in the chart. It is very difficult to take a useful photo with that size and shape. Allowing the height to be flexible to support any aspect ratio would be a huge quality of life improvement.

Additionally many of us take pictures when seeing patients and then import them later when writing documentation. This app does not allow selecting an image from the device to import, only lets you take one from the camera.

Disagree with the other lady

Simply because if you are uploading based on what’s in your phone, it means you’re storing patient info or images on your device. Just seems safer to delete it. 4 stars because I wish it was a few seconds faster. Nitpicky but it seems to add up. Good though.
