From providing quick, relevant, and legitimate responses to health questions to streamlining essential tasks, AI chatbots are revolutionizing how patients interact with healthcare providers and provide unique new opportunities for health systems to enhance operations with digital tools.

Patient Engagement 2.0: How Chatbots Are Revolutionizing Health Queries

It’s a funny question to ask and seems somewhat antithetical, but are AI tools making us think too much? From the standpoint of an AI tool’s output you could argue quite the opposite. But from a UX perspective, the tools themselves may be requiring more effort to use than people are typically used to.


Are AI Tools Making Us Think Too Much?

We are LifeScience Technologies, a healthcare technology company and the developer of the m.Care® virtual care platform.  During COVID, we all saw the benefits of being able to treat patients remotely or virtually. Healthcare delivery has changed forever, and now the challenge is in providing an engaging and easy-to-use technology platform that meets the needs of populations and individuals.  Access to and communication with the patient’s care team is critical, and patient adherence to care plans is crucial to improving outcomes. For some patients, it is not financially feasible to supply expensive equipment like Bluetooth scales, connected blood pressure cuffs or wearable devices. Social determinants of health are another key consideration when delivering a solution to meet the needs of entire populations.  The m.Care platform is designed for ease of use and to encourage and support patient engagement. Our platform supports both synchronous and asynchronous communication–all HIPAA-compliant with data encrypted. Our objectives are to drive better patient outcomes and patient satisfaction through a robust and highly configurable virtual care platform that can accommodate as many patients as possible, with accessibility features that include voice commands in multiple languages for patients who are physically unable to use other means to report data.

Q&A with Steve Hendrix of m.Care: Improving outcomes with accessibility

Digital therapeutics represent an exciting opportunity for health systems to improve patient engagement, outcomes, and access to care. These software-based solutions use technology like mobile apps, sensors, and data analytics to help prevent, manage, and treat a growing range of medical conditions. However, with an influx of companies offering digital therapeutics, health systems face challenges in identifying the right solutions that are evidence-based, integrate smoothly, and align with organizational goals.

Selecting Digital Therapeutics: A Step-by-Step Framework for Health Systems

Digital therapeutics, also called DTx, is a digital capability that exists within the broader category of digital medicine. DTx solutions are evidence-based, clinically validated and scalable software applications used to treat, manage, and/or prevent a variety of diseases and disorders in order to improve health outcomes and reduce costs. In addition, solutions are provider-prescribed, include privacy and security protections, and have received approval from the appropriate regulatory bodies.
