COVID Exposed the Dire Need for Real-Time Healthcare Data Sharing

Patients want access to their healthcare records in much the same way as they conduct banking transactions, and they want control over who can see and use the data.

Offering a one-stop portal or app for patient information would allow for real-time data access. No more waiting days for test results or playing email tag with doctors. This kind of accessibility unlocks the patient’s freedom to do what they want based on the ability to provide instant proof of any part of their health records.

Predictive or preventative healthcare is usually focused on chronic diseases, and in this scenario, the data that is needed typically requires a lot of different providers coming together to collaboratively manage a patient’s care.
