Wearable devices and apps that monitor and track physical activity and exercise metrics.

Mobile applications that provide workout routines, exercise guidance, and virtual personal training for consumers.

Software that utilizes artificial intelligence to analyze medical images and assist in diagnosis.

AI-assisted virtual scribes refer to software that specializes in charting physician-patient encounters in real time, such as during medical examinations. The software is able to process natural language and has been trained specifically to document clinical encounters. These types of solutions have become possible with advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning and provide an alternative to remote scribes or in-person scribes, who accompany a physician in the exam room. They have the potential to be significantly more cost effective than solutions requiring human support.

Asynchronous Telehealth provides an avenue for patients to access care for low acuity conditions or triage to appropriate levels of care. Using algorithms and a structured clinical interview that a patient accesses on their own device (e.g. smart-phone, tablet, or web) the solution takes the patient symptoms and creates a SOAP note with suggested diagnosis and treatment options for a provider to to review and select treatment, generating appropriate orders and prescriptions. These solutions can be used to augment capacity for primary care, and can also be used to support patient self-triage in the ED waiting room.

Integrated systems that provide patients with communication, information access, and entertainment at their bedside.

Health coaches are typically employed by health system partner organizations (i.e., community organization, payor) and liaise between patients, medical teams, and community resources.

Integration has broad applicability across diverse populations, care settings, and geographies (i.e., urban, rural). BHI requires coordination of multiple elements across a healthcare delivery system, including infrastructure, communication platforms, and payment systems. Examples of BHI models with demonstrated success include the IMPACT care model, Collaborative Care Management Model (CoCM), and the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model.

Maternal and Infant Health: Between 5% and 25% of pregnant and postpartum parents experience some type of depression. Integrating behavioral health with OB/GYN, and primary care services, either physically or through digital modalities, enables more efficient behavioral health care delivery and allows for timely consults and/or patient screening/triaging across the pregnancy continuum.

Programs that utilize digital tools and services to manage and treat behavioral health conditions.

In these programs, care managers are responsible for a subset of patient populations helping them find providers, attend appointments, manage medications, and participate in care plans. Care management programs commonly stratify patients by condition, disease severity, or demographics such as age or socioeconomic status.

Emergency Department: ED care navigators work exclusively with patients in the ED setting. Navigators are alerted in real-time by triggers embedded in the EMR to intervene at the bedside when the patient has minor conditions or lacks a personal PCP. Beyond establishing a PCP, navigators also help connect patients with resources such as transportation, housing or medication.

In general, mental health screening tools provide insight but fail to help providers connect patients with the appropriate care. A range of tools exist to support providers in better screening and triaging mental health patients. Screening tools that include embedded decision support to help non-mental health providers direct patients to the right care are especially helpful.

Patient engagement drops off between visits, leaving patients unwell and providers blind to progress or issues. Digital technologies that provide on-demand cognitive and behavioral therapy (e.g. videos) help patients receive the treatment they need without direct provider interaction. The technology collects clinical and usage data from participants that providers can then use to tailor appropriate self-care modules for individual patients. The technology algorithm itself can even generate these modules. By providing immediate access to evidence-based care, health systems can improve wait times, reduce costs, and increase recovery rates.

After making an initial connection, the CHW helps the patient set goals and keep up with the clinical care plan, also addressing any psychosocial, resource, and advocacy issues that arise. Often CHWs will focus on particular clinical diagnoses, like diabetes, asthma, hypertension, cancer, and maternal and child health.

Emergency Department: In the ED, CHWs have been especially successful in lowering unnecessary visits and readmissions, and in improving communication--when used to support care coordination with primary care after ED discharge.

Maternal and Infant Health: CHWs have contributed to decreased rates of infant mortality and low birth weight, as well as improved prenatal care access and utilization when completing prenatal and postpartum in-home visits and care management.

Access and efficiency are particularly large problems for complex maternity care where appointment completion rates are often as low as 45%. Digital solutions in this space target low-risk, expectant mothers in a volume-based environment to help increase access to maternity appointments and improve appointment efficiency.

Digital solutions can accomplish this in two ways:

1. Allow providers to deliver remote care, which can improve appointment access and convenience for women that have difficulty making their appointments due to rural location, work, or other reasons.

2. Allow providers to conduct low-acuity appointments virtually, and backfill those appointments with higher acuity visits that require more frequent and extensive appointments.

These digital solutions can include basic maternal/fetal metric tracking, provider data collection, and direct provider messaging and video chat

Patient interactions with healthcare systems that do not involve direct guidance or assistance from a healthcare professional or staff member, often self-service.

Tools and technologies that help users navigate through a physical space, such as a hospital or clinic, using digital maps and directions.

V

Clinicians are spending a disproportionate amount of time working within electronic health records or performing clerical work. Incomplete documentation may lead to inaccurate code assignments, resulting in underpayments for episodes of care. Health systems are therefore met with the challenge of keeping clinicians from becoming disconnected and fatigued due to administrative tasks while also addressing the shortage of coding resources. More efficient coding procedures can optimize revenue cycle, address risk adjustment needs, improve quality outcomes, accelerate workflows, and increase clinician satisfaction while minimizing burnout.

AI-powered chatbots or virtual assistants that answer patients' questions about their health, appointments, and other healthcare-related topics.

The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) was a major multi-center clinical research study exploring whether modest weight loss through dietary changes and increased physical activity or treatment with the oral diabetes drug metformin could prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. DPP participants were all overweight and had blood glucose levels higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes - a condition called pre-diabetes. The DPP found that participants who lost a modest amount of weight through dietary changes and increased physical activity sharply reduced their chances of developing diabetes. Companies have digitized and virtualized the DPP, relying on technology to facilitate and support key elements of the program.

Virtual triage tools use advanced AI and NLP capabilities to allow consumers to communicate with a chat bot in the same way they would with a medical provider. These tools provide consumers with an analysis of their symptoms and can navigate them to the best sites of care to meet their current needs.

Dictation software allows physicians to use voice (and vocal commands) rather than to type notes by hand. Recent advances with commands empower physicians to further navigate the EHR in a hands-free way. While speech recognition technology has improved, the dictation itself often occurs in between patients or after hours. This means that while screen time can be reduced, the physician is still completing the documentation.
