Building trust in digital health technology

Americans are increasingly turning to apps and telemedicine providers for their care, and the number of digital health options can feel overwhelming. Without reliable ways to compare costs and quality, making informed decisions becomes a challenge.

Where can people turn for help with back pain, diabetes, or other chronic conditions? How can they trust that virtual care companies prioritize their well-being?

To earn trust from day one, your virtual care technology must:

  • Deliver evidence-based, up-to-date content that healthcare consumers, clinicians, and payers can rely on.
  • Target specific outcomes with customizable content sets tailored to support digital health applications, from triage flows to care plans and beyond.
  • Scale with purpose, focusing on consumer satisfaction not just through UX, but with best-in-class patient content and tools that guide users throughout their healthcare journey.
