Our take
Achieving success as a healthcare provider requires patients to receive the best healthcare possible, but this is commonly stunted by a one-size-fits-all approach. Patients, families, and caregivers do not have the tools they need to achieve personalized healthcare experiences, and this ultimately leads to unsatisfied patients and missed growth opportunities for healthcare providers.
Wellist provides a consumer navigation program for healthcare patients, families, and caregivers, providing them with a digital education platform, communication tools, vetted support services, and the necessary communication mediums for maximizing the care quality that patients receive.
Whilst many startups within the healthcare sector are leveraging cutting-edge tech such as AI and automation to improve care quality, Wellist has taken a step back, focusing instead on the tools and resources needed. By providing the necessary tools to improve care quality and patient experiences, the company claims that it will ultimately improve patient outcomes and in turn, the revenues of healthcare providers.
