    1. iConsentu is an enhanced patient consent application. It is a cloud based consent procedure optimised to give patients an in-depth understanding of a medical or dental procedure they are about to undertake. It also tests a patient’s understanding of the procedure to ensure patients can give a more valid informed consent. The consent forms and a description of the treatment processes can be sent to the patient ahead of treatment to allow them sufficient time to consider the treatment they are about to undertake and to raise any questions they have regarding their treatment. The application will store the patient’s consent process along with photographic identification and a digital signature which can be subsequently retrieved by You as required.
