The digital health space refers to the integration of technology and health care services to improve the overall quality of health care delivery. It encompasses a wide range of innovative and emerging technologies such as wearables, telehealth, artificial intelligence, mobile health, and electronic health records (EHRs). The digital health space offers numerous benefits such as improved patient outcomes, increased access to health care, reduced costs, and improved communication and collaboration between patients and health care providers. For example, patients can now monitor their vital signs such as blood pressure and glucose levels from home using wearable devices and share the data with their doctors in real-time. Telehealth technology allows patients to consult with their health care providers remotely without having to travel to the hospital, making health care more accessible, particularly in remote or rural areas. Artificial intelligence can be used to analyze vast amounts of patient data to identify patterns, predict outcomes, and provide personalized treatment recommendations. Overall, the digital health space is rapidly evolving, and the integration of technology in health

Request A Virtual Doctor Visit Directly from Google, Bing, Yelp

Where do you want to go? Despite and because of the proliferation of online web sites and the decline of printed directories do you wonder where the best place(s) is to find a physician?

Request A Virtual Doctor Visit Directly from Google, Bing, Yelp

Google, Yelp and Bing are sources, however, the results overwhelm most searchers because they are not specific and include unrelated search results including promoted sites.

 VSee, a San Jose-based telemedicine company and Doctor.com, a web-wide listings management, reputation, and patient communications platform — are partnering to create a seamless online patient journey from Google, Bing, Yelp search for a virtual visit. Doctor.com’s platform currently serves more than 200K providers and leverages the only partner network in the industry of 50+ integrations, including Google, Bing, Yelp, Healthgrades, Vitals, YP, and other major consumer health destinations.
The VSee and Doctor.com vision are unlike the failed Google Helpouts for Health which tried to match those Googling health symptoms with a live provider. Helpouts also required providers and patients to have Google+ accounts. Instead, the VSee and Doctor.com partnership focus on enhancing provider profiles and using what they already know about how patients choose a physician online. From search to a video telehealth visit,  the integration will enable providers to expand their practice reach.
Dr. Milton Chen, VSee CEO, says, “Currently it’s too much work to go from searching for a doctor to consulting with a doctor. VSee envisions a seamless experience where we can go directly from a Google or Bing search to live chatting with a doctor’s front desk. From the search or live chat we can then book a telehealth appointment or do a walk-in video visit. VSee is excited about our partnership with Doctor.com to revolutionize and streamline the process of finding and seeing a doctor online.
At this time it seems an overkill because they only represent 200,000 providers, less than one-quarter of providers.  Situations change rapidly, including provider groups and health plans.
Millennial patients feast on this type of platform, using a one click-stop to shop application.

 Impact of Partnership

 According to a Salesforce report, 60% of millennials support the use of telehealth visits as a replacement for in-person visits. Doctor.com’s 2018 CX Trends in Healthcare report found that nearly 70% of consumers will choose one provider over another because of a strong online presence and an Accenture report found that 84% of patients use online reviews to choose a doctor. As millennials and digital natives become the dominant consumer group, telehealth will continue to grow in demand, and an online presence will become increasingly important for provider practices.
