I will be working alongside Arlo Antle, Noah Gottlieb, and Tymofiy Rabchuk. We are interested in creating an application for emergency rooms that will improve the patient experience, and help the hospital utilize big data. This app will track the ER workflow, and give patients live text message updates during every step of the visit, i.e. a warm welcome message when they check in with reception, the approximate wait time before being seen, and the name of their nurse once he or she is assigned. This application will give hospitals the opportunity to build better relationships with their customers without doing much extra work, become better organized in their day-to-day operations, and become more efficient with patient intake.
Hi Ari – I like the context (healthcare). I think the business challenge here is showing that this is something that is needed and isn’t already covered in current products. The value proposition needs to be something important to the hospital (i.e,. increased compliance, repeat visits, improved patient experience); I don’t know you’ll be able to make a “saves money” argument here, but maybe the increased intake efficiency can address that.
There are many patient portals and web-based services around healthcare delivery. Starting there can give you an idea what original ideas you could pursue.
