Description:

Physicians are now more often employed through large faceless organizations than they are in private practices, and Americans are pressed for time, relying instead on virtual health-services and urgent care.
We propose that heath networks, to compete for an informed and growing patient population, will offer subscription services combining the convenience and efficiency of digital services: Teledoc, Uber, Tinder, and FitBit, all synced with the respective electronic health record (EHR) system—connecting one’s personal health records with wearable technologies and smartphones. This evolution in virtual care will enhance the virtual doctors’ abilities, and ultimately create a virtual community where patients and doctors communicate on a personal level competing for the best care.
