EpicCare Mobile Apps: Haiku and Canto
EpicCare’s mobile apps keep you connected with your patients, your practice and your fellow physicians – wherever you are – 24/7
Haiku is EpicCare’s mobile app for the iPhone® and Droid®. Canto is the mobile app for the iPad®. These two apps give Inova’s practitioners secure and portable access to patient charts. Whether you are in the hallways of your practice, rounding at the hospital or relaxing at home, accessing your patients’ information is easy and convenient.

Safe and secure
Haiku and Canto are completely secure and confidential. All data transmitted to and from the server are encrypted using SSL.
