Hi /r/startups,

Longtime lurker here. I want bounce my idea of you guys and collect feed back.

I am thinking of an patient-centric EHR solution (Electronic health record). There are many EHR solutions available in the market (EPIC - paid, Practice fusion - free etc.), but none are oriented towards the patients or well integrated.

I am thinking of an app (think fitbit) that organizes all your medical history (your past health records, scans, prescriptions, electronic prescription fulfillment, appointment booking etc). As you login you can see health stats like your last blood sugar, cholesterol, and other health metrics you want to see. The user can access all his/her medical data any time of the day.

The physician you choose to see has access to see all your medical records. The physician can enter the symptoms, diagnosis, prescriptions and treatment options in the app.

The pharmacy will receive your prescription electronically. User is notified once the prescription is fulfilled or it is mail ordered. Similarly the diagnostic center will receive orders for the diagnostics needed. Diagnostics are again uploaded into the service and physicians are notified to review it.

So if you get the drift, the solution ties together all the parties involved in health care and caters information to each party as needed.

Now coming to doubts in this idea, I am worried about the number of moving parts in this solutions. The number of parties involved to get this rolling is high (the patient, the doctors, pharmacy, diagnostic center, insurance company etc etc). We are a team of two for now (I am UX/user experience development guy and my friend is the backend guy). The more we discussed, we realized that there are number of places where this idea can go south.

Does this fall into 'biting in more than you can chew' category? I am looking for any kind of criticism /r/startup can offer with regards to this idea.
