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. Neither patients, families, nor caregivers have the tools to achieve personalized healthcare experiences. This ultimately leads to unsatisfied patients and missed growth opportunities for healthcare providers.
To help with this, Wellist provides a consumer navigation program for healthcare patients, families, and caregivers. This provides 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 actually taken a step back. It focusses instead on the tools and resources needed for better healthcare. This unique approach enables it to both stand out and supply value for all parties in the healthcare ecosystem.
