What innovation has the most potential for disruption along the patient journey, and at which stage?
The patient experience is never a straight path. Each journey is uniquely driven by the patient’s personal goals. Real innovation demands that patients be enabled through information to prepare them in engaging with their own self-care. Providing patients the opportunity to see correlations between all aspects of their journey to build a healthy story can potentially improve patient care between patients and physicians.
