The application connects with Apple Health and CareKit to collect and relay relevant health metrics.
Core capabilities

DocsInk is useful for ongoing disease management (for example, diabetes or heart disease), monitoring recently discharged patients, and performing early triage of possible emergencies so that clinicians can prioritize interventions. It also supports routine check‑ins without requiring in‑person visits.
Security and data flow
