HealthTap revolutionizes healthcare for the digital age with a doctor-trained artificial intelligence system that directs users to the help they need. It serves healthcare systems, employers, insurance companies and patients around the world.
This platform, available free of charge, boasts a directory of over 1 million doctors, an FAQ library with answers from members, and an AI-powered symptom checker. Furthermore, it provides secure private digital health files for sharing and storage.
1. Personalized Care
HealthTap is revolutionizing patient-doctor communication. Their free app allows users to ask doctors questions about any aspect of health-care they desire.
The app also includes a symptom checker to help people decide whether they need to see a doctor or not. It’s available for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
Additionally, 24/7 access to U.S. board-certified doctors is provided via text or video chat. They are able to answer queries and offer medical advice and prescriptions if necessary.
Doctors can sign up for free to answer patient queries, build their reputations and attract new local patients. Furthermore, they have access to Curb side Consults with colleagues as well as case discussions in special doctor groups through Global Rounds.
2. Convenience
HealthTap allows patients and doctors to instantly connect from a mobile device or computer, providing a personalized, seamless experience that’s faster than traditional visits and saves them money on co-pays.
Additionally, the app features an AI-powered symptom checker to help users determine what may be wrong based on symptoms they are experiencing. It also has a library of questions and answers from doctors as well as a doctor finder tool to help members locate the right physician for them.
This app is free to download and can be accessed from any desktop or mobile device. It provides access to licensed physicians through video chat and text messaging consultations, with service available in all fifty states.
3. Scalability
HealthTap, supported by major investors such as Google’s Eric Schmidt and Esther Dyson, has launched a free Q&A service with 12,000 US-licensed physicians. Patients can send HIPAA-compliant text messages (with images, test results and other medical records included) that are automatically routed to nearby doctors who can answer their questions at no cost.
Telemedicine makes healthcare more accessible for those who require it but lack traditional healthcare options. Furthermore, physicians have a business development tool in their pocket: they can view which questions come from local customers and then decide whether or not to answer them.
The platform has been able to train its algorithms on 5.3 billion questions, and recently added a feature that lets physicians find answers already submitted by other doctors using the system and adopt them as their own. This eliminates the need for doctors to repeat themselves, and data-centric approaches may reduce burnout among clinicians.
4. Transparency
HealthTap is an ever-expanding interactive network cantered around a database of patient questions. Doctors answer these and then upload them to HealthTap’s platform, where they are collected, referenced and easily accessible by patients.
HealthTap has assembled and engaged an impressive network of 90,000 U.S. licensed doctors across 128 specialties to deliver this service.
HealthTap Medical Expert Network offers patients secure, private online connections with physicians. It’s a highly secure, platform agnostic environment that guarantees patients privacy when connecting online.
HealthTap’s network includes an innovative feature that allows physicians to view which questions local patients are asking. This provides doctors with a powerful opportunity to engage their communities and potentially expand their practice.
Conclusion
HealthTap is transforming healthcare by making it more accessible, convenient and personalized. Through its free app, patients can ask questions and receive medical advice from board-certified doctors.
