If health could be solved with one pill, we'd all be well. But medical, social and economic realities mean that health is often the result of a complex series of actions. It’s just too easy to miss a treatment or involve an expert far too late. Stakes couldn’t be higher for each patient, but for the people seeking to deliver compassionate care while navigating an increasingly complex healthcare system, the challenge can seem overwhelmingly futile
Patients do best when the entire team is able to collaborate on treatments and solutions for medical and social needs. And ‘entire team’ includes the family, regardless of whether or not they’re physically in the room. This often means the exhausting and mistake-riddled effort to coordinate care across multiple institutions, records systems, and individuals.
For Activate Care Chief Medical Officer Narath Carlile, who’s solved similar communication and process challenges in economically-strapped hospital systems in Africa and Mexico, the solution lies in the intelligent scaling of compassion, care, and expertise through technology.
Activate Care's collaboration platform not only provides an easy way for the patient and family to track the myriad medical appointments, test results and social services required for health and well-being, but is also developing technology to suggest moments when it might be worthwhile to bring in additional expertise — and because the platform encourages engagement, the team provides an effective and natural feedback process. The platform functions like a guided tracking system that helps the patient discover a 360-degree view of health.
Many healthcare solutions focus on reducing the dollar cost of healthcare, says Carlile, referring to the tough decisions hospitals and other providers face on a daily basis, but “the most costly care is the wrong care.” Activate Care aims at making it easier to get it right.
“In creating a collaborative environment for you and your loved ones, we wanted to have the best level of security and authentication that’s available in the industry today. That’s why we partnered with Auth0."
