« Mvoy Healthcare » is a physician-authored health care platform intended to empower patients by:
- Providing information and facts on common conditions that affect patients in the primary care setting;
- Recommending a variety of self-help tools (web-based or in the community) that compliment the recommended treatment plan established by their health care provider;
- Helping them navigate effectively through a variety of web-based health care resources.
The internet has become a key tool for the search of medical information. As health care providers, we need to meet patients where they are. By capitalizing on technology, we can offer effective, reliable information that equip patients to take action in regards to their health.
A patient’s educational limitations will often reduce the effectiveness of medical treatments. Those limitations are expressed through improper use, unawareness of treatment evolution and failure to adopt habits that compliment the treatment plan. Capitalizing on patient education can allow these challenges to be overcome.
Furthermore, educating patients about their conditions can also decrease the psychological distress patients experience when dealing with their illness.
