To Modernize Healthcare for Good, We Need 3 Critical Elements

As healthcare faces a wave of consumerization, we see a future where 80% of care will be delivered digitally, and there are three essential pillars needed to power that future.

The utility of telehealth has been clear for quite some time, but adoption was slow. Patients and doctors had a hard time letting go of the old-school experience, and often insurance providers didn’t cover telehealth as they did traditional in-office visits.

The final pillar to creating an end-to-end digital healthcare experience is at-home diagnostics. When combined with telehealth visits and prescription delivery, at-home testing can enable the remote diagnosis and management of the most pressing acute conditions like the flu and COVID-19, and the largest chronic disease states, including diabetes, heart disease, and chronic kidney disease.

There’s simply no going back to the old way of doing things. The future is consumerized, digital care and it’s here to stay.
