Featuring a new approach to interactive on-demand patient coaching

Doctors are used to telling patients what they should do with their prescription therapy, often without giving very much information or being aware of the obstacles patients may face. Unfortunately, the bulk of treatment has to be carried out by patients, at home, between office visits. As a result, many doctor/patient interactions leave both parties unsatisfied. The amount of unreliable medical information on the internet these days can be confusing. So, patients don’t know where to turn.

To lessen frustration on both the part of patients and physicians—and perhaps more importantly, to keep patients on track with their treatment regimens—there is Patient Coach, an educational communication platform that engages consumers in a dialogue about their condition and treatment options via the web. The Patient Coach technology makes one-on-one coaching affordable and effective. By using an engaging and interactive format that features video coaching narration, Patient Coach creates an easily-accessible discussion for both patients and caregivers. Content is tailored for the user based on needs, ability, and the feedback provided through user-assessments. This ongoing conversation fosters empowered patients who are more likely to adhere to their treatment regimens and ultimately, to get well.
