UpToDate Consumer Education

How can you make sure people trust your digital health technology?

Americans increasingly entrust their care to apps and telemedicine providers. While they benefit from having more options for digital health technology, choosing among them can be challenging without trustworthy means to compare costs and quality.

Where should one seek help for back pain, diabetes, or other chronic problems?
How can individuals be confident that virtual care technologies are committed to their well-being?

For people to trust your virtual care technology from day one, you must:

• Easily provide healthcare consumers with evidence-based, updated content that clinicians and payers know and trust.
• Target specific outcomes through customizable content sets designed to support various digital health applications — whether you're building digital triage flows, digital care plans, or other consumer health applications.
• Scale your development and focus on consumer satisfaction beyond UX with best-in-class patient content and tools that can align throughout your entire healthcare journey.
