DIGITAL PATIENT ENGAGEMENT

Online healthcare providers directory platform that allows users to browse through a listing of pricing information for various medical tests, diagnostics and medical procedures based on the location. Currently focused on pathology labs and diagnostic centers in various parts of India with future plans to venture into hospitals and doctors, providing their fee structures.

We live in a world where mobile usage is growing exponentially. The healthcare anywhere anytime is the call of the day. Unlike other forms of communication, the mobile technology offers promising solutions to the new-era digitally empowered patients, who now seek ""anywhere and anytime"" diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of their health conditions. The ease of access and mobility provided by the use of mobile technology offers immense opportunities for the healthcare industry.

The ever-increasing sophistication and development of smart phones and net features such as push notifications, SMS, geo-location and preference settings along with ease of using mobile applications and internet services whenever, wherever, and however users wish to is making Digital patient engagement and health care more user friendly.

The future path ahead for healthcare providers is to adapt and innovate for providing solutions to meet consumer expectations through latest technology and mobile solutions. Otherwise, in the highly competitive healthcare market, providers who will not pay heed to the mobility needs of today's "always-on" digitally empowered patients could lose them to competitors.

It's no secret that the patients rarely know what they'll pay for services until they've received them; health care providers bill different payers’ different prices for the same services. Prices for health care services vary significantly among providers, even for common procedures, and it's often difficult for patients to determine their out-of-pocket costs before receiving care.
