Adding to its suite of digital patient engagement solutions, Equiva has unveiled its new Mobile Connect™ solution which enables healthcare organizations to securely deliver mobile app experiences to patients and their loved ones, with flexibility to easily configure the app to meet specific population needs. The solution enhances the company’s health relationship management platform, an integrated omnichannel solution for collaborative, hyper-targeted digital health engagement.
With Equiva Mobile Connect, the healthcare organization or an individual unit, department or clinic, can select specific education materials, support resources and information to be presented via the app to align with targeted population-based care objectives.
“Many of our customers have told us that mobile app options are limited. Prepackaged offerings do not allow content to be fluidly defined and updated based on changing protocols, patient needs and the like. Custom development tends to be time and cost-prohibitive,” said Nir Altman, Equiva CEO. “We’re pleased to support HCOs in providing digital offerings that extend across care environments, especially to meet personalized needs of individuals at home and on the go. This is fundamental to our health relationship management platform.”
Each instance of the Equiva Mobile Connect app is mapped to deliver a preconfigured set of teaching materials, survey tools and wellness resources (relaxation tools, nutrition tips, etc.) as well as organization-specific informational and promotional materials. These can include videos, PDFs, web-linked applications, survey tools and more.
