What's a website/service/app that you wish you had as a medical student?

I'm an incoming MS1 and budding entrepreneur looking for ways to innovate in the field of medicine and improve the lives of patients and healthcare professionals alike and have a lot of time this summer to explore ideas before beginning school!

Would love to hear what you guys feel is needed / any glaring gap?

I need an app that makes people on the internet seem less like tools.

While also contemplating a sarcastic answer, I actually thought of a serious response for this.

So my school's method of logging patient encounters and procedures sucks, horribly. We have to see so many cases a year (diabetes, hypertension, etc) and log in the patient's age, gender, ethnicity, chief complaint, our entire physical exam, their diagnosis, and any procedures we do on them. It is a browser-based service that cannot be accessed by mobile, and logging in all the info is done with (slowly-loading) drop-down menus and it is dreadfully inefficient.

If there was an app for iOS or Android that did this efficiently I would have loved having it throughout 3rd year.

Wow, that's far worse than what we had to do. All we had to put was MRN, age, gender, ethnicity, and the diagnosis, and I thought THAT was annoying.
