Introduction

The biosim mobile application for iOS devices provides clinicians with the flexibility to customize their clients' prostheses while on the move. There is no PII (Personally identifiable information) or PHI (Protected Health information) stored in this app, it only uses non-sensitive data as reference, the alphanumeric serial number of the prosthetic limb components.

NOTE: This is a third-party app and is not maintained by VA but is sponsored by the Office of Connected Care in Patient Care Services.
