From Passive to Personalized

The imperative to improve health outcomes and reduce costs is more critical than ever. 

Despite the wide availability of technologies to monitor, share data, and interact, the patient experience remains “event-based”. These in-person interactions are increasingly inefficient and, with the presence of an epidemic or pandemic, present additional risks to patients and providers alike.

However, visits with providers, pharmacists, as well as other interventions, will always be critical to the delivery of healthcare. 

Why? Because, above all, healthcare is personal.

So, how do we integrate technology into the patient experience to ensure personal impact, while saving cost and improving outcomes? Consider, for example, these “what if” scenarios:

·       What if the provision of healthcare was based on tech-enabled patient self-care, integrating education, and peer support tools?

·       What if consultations with healthcare providers were enabled by continuously captured health data?

·       What if critical visits to healthcare providers were prompted by variance-based patient monitoring?

Healthcare starts and ends with the patient. Personalized, patient-centered technology that enables interaction, self-care, access to information and education, as well as measurement and monitoring, will be more attractive and easier for patients to adopt. It will also help providers make better and faster decisions. 

Luminous has created the “p-score” to assess patient involvement in healthcare technology from passive to participative to personalized. Applying the “p-score” will help drive technological evolution towards patient-centricity and achieve better therapeutic outcomes with cost savings.

By putting the Spotlight on patients, Luminous can help you integrate technology into the patient experience.
