"BYO APP": BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN PATIENTS AND CLINICIANS

"How do we use technology and data to improve patient health?"

Challenges

  • No easy way to share data
  • Impossible to keep up with all the apps
  • Making sense of data  (physicians not sure how to use the data from trackers and apps in the clinical setting)
  • Tracking is hard
  • Very little reward

App and Data Considerations

  • Data collection must be purposeful
  • Seamless sharing of data into clinical workflows (could physicians order data sets the same way they order labs?)
  • Clinical insights must be providing reinforcing feedback so that the data and insights work together

Linq

  • Link is their product that they developed to allow physicians and patients to track and see trends within their health.  Ex.  Tracking data on blood pressure levels
  • If a level is out of the a set range then the physician is “pinged”
