6 digital health solutions transforming patient care

Here are 7 digital health solutions and how those can support and transform each phase of the patient’s journey from diagnosis to adhering to a care plan:

1. Self-diagnosis

Wearable devices and passive health monitoring systems from a smartwatch checking blood pressure to devices tracking glucose (sugar) levels in real time.
Virtual nurturing assistants can converse with patients empathically about their conditions, offer suggestions, and direct them to the right care unit while alerting providers if needed.
Online symptom checkers can assess patient-reported symptoms and guide health decisions, complementing, not replacing, professional diagnosis and treatment.

2. Scheduling appointments & patient outreach

AI scheduling assistants automate appointment scheduling by suggesting optimal times based on patient and provider availability, often without human input.
Automated Reminders: Automated reminders via email, text, or push notifications help reduce no-shows and late arrivals, improving patient adherence and provider efficiency.

Smart reminders and a healthier routine with the Habita app

The Habita app developed by Supercharge helps manage hypertension which requires consistent medication intake and regular blood pressure monitoring, yet many patients struggle with adherence. Habita, the virtual assistant aids patients in establishing their medication routines by reminding them to take their pills, measure blood pressure, and book doctor's appointments as needed, all while providing motivational boosts during critical moments.

3. Intake to consultation

Digital intake forms, completed electronically via patient portals or apps, save time, reduce paperwork, and enable better provider preparation by capturing medical history, current medications, allergies, and symptoms before the consultation.
Pre-visit health data processing can be managed by using machine learning and AI to process incoming data from intake forms, wearables, or other sources and automatically flag important health information or trends before the consultation.

4. During consultation

Video consultations enable patients to consult with healthcare providers remotely via video calls. This is particularly beneficial for follow-up visits, non-emergency conditions, mental health consultations, and patients who have mobility challenges or live in remote areas.
Integrated diagnostic information from lab results to imaging reports can be moved into one digital system so that everything needed for a comprehensive evaluation is available in one place.
Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) powered by AI can analyze patient data (symptoms, lab results, medical history) and recommend possible diagnoses or treatment options, reducing diagnostic errors and improving patient outcomes.

5. Hospital care

AI-driven triage systems in emergency rooms or during hospital admission can analyze symptoms, medical history, and vital signs to prioritize patients and help providers make quicker, more accurate assessments.
Predictive Analytics with AI models, using real-time data from patient monitors and EHRs, can predict adverse events like sepsis and cardiac arrest in hospitalized patients, triggering early alerts when a patient's condition worsens.
AI-powered computer vision can monitor multiple patients simultaneously, tracking movement, posture, and facial expressions to assess patients’ health status remotely. This reduces manual checks and allows healthcare professionals to focus on critical tasks.

6. Patient education and adherence

Personalized educational content, such as articles, videos, and interactive modules, tailored to a patient’s condition and treatment plan, helps them understand their diagnosis and make informed decisions, boosting confidence in managing their health.
