VisitAssist Mobile Health Design | Katia, Liz, Kim
Goals Goal: To improve communication between doctor and patient. Organization: A student (high school or college) health center What does it do: Allows patients to engage with their doctor by proactivley suggesting question topics and grouping common symptoms. The app also provides answers to FAQs or tailored questions for the patient's visit. Allows them to ask their own questions. Who benefits: Doctor, patient and administrative staff How do they benefit: The patient received specific, valuable information, the physician's face-time is efficiently used to review, and administrative and non-physician clinical staff answer and ask fewer routine questions.
Target audience Target audience: Students, less-engaged patients, those with chronic conditions, also your average person who may have questions but not necessarily be likely to ask them in person. Target audience needs: Suggestions about what questions would be helpful to ask. Barrier is - don’t know where to begin with questions. Not time intensive, part of the waiting room routine. How app addresses needs: Familiarizes patients with their symptoms and what helpful information they should seek -- and how -- from their provider Works seamlessly with the waiting room routine and can integrate with the EHR.

Competitive Analysis • PingMD • Pro: HIPAA privacy guidelines • Con: Glitches • MyChart • Pro: Sync with web profile for easy sharing • Con: Not widely available to everyone • MeVisit • Pro: 24/7 provider access; database "suggestion" for symptoms • Con: Discourages patient/provider communication beyond what patient generates
Using our app Three main areas: • (1) View/Update Personal History • (2) Ask Questions • (3) Account Settings
Using our app (1) Personal History • Medical/Personal history, goals • FAQ’s
Using our app (2) Questions • Your Physician/PCP • Experts • Patient can filter experts • Sourced from database
Using our app (3) Account settings • Basics & Clinical • Guardian name if requested by school • GPS predicts local hospital and leaves option for user input • Option to link insurance information to guardian or emergency contact
Evidence-based guidelines • The most popular apps have these things in common: • Easy access • No unnecessary features • Flexible design • Attention to detail • Well tested • Free • Teenagers and millennials: • Like an app that establishes their independence • Have limited spending power • Prefer to interact via email/messaging
Evidence-based guidelines • Approach to doctor-patient communication • Patients want more meaningful discussions with their care provider when making health care decisions. • Want to know the latest medical evidence. • Want their provider to ask about their goals and concerns for their health and health care • Want to be told the truth about their diagnosis
Successful usage • By using their main form of communication - texts and email • Modern design • Provides them independence from their family
Improves on existing apps • Ask an "expert" • FAQs are created based on modeling of symptoms
Uses smartphone capabilities • Contains a notification system • Uses GPS to find local hospital(s) • Syncs with EMHR of doctor's office • Both iPhone/Android capable
Evaluation plan • Planning the Sessions • Scripted • Beta test with colorful, modern, fully-interactive interface • Prompts assigned to users • Mock search results • Conducting the Sessions • 2 moderators: one to conduct, one to assist; scribe • Collect demographics • Each user given a mock health situation; search • Ask before, during, after questions • Moderators prompted to ask counter questions
Evaluation plan • Compiling Results • Notes from assigned scribe • 1 -2 observers will watch moderator performance and offer suggestions on script • Prioritize and Report • Include all positive and negative feedback • Reaction, criticism, praise, problems, suggestions • Shared with all teams (development,design, technical) • Conclusion • Moderator's report • Plans for moving forward
Development plan • 1. Functionality: • Check every single screen and test every button • Figure out how different sections of the app work with each other • Work closely with a developer • This could take months and cost about $50,000 after all the revisions ($100 per hr) • 2. Design: • Make it look modern and attractive to our audience • Hiring a designer for this would run around $10,000
Development plan • 3. Going live: • iTunes connect account ($99 a year); pricing; description; marketing ($1000) • Cost of entire process: At least $61,000 but because we want to connect to EMHR and specific school networks it will probably cost much more. • Timeline: The first step will take at least six weeks to complete, and another two weeks with the designer. The hardest part will be trying to sync this app with school health systems and electronic health records
Marketing plan • Partner with ACHA and ASHA • Will ensure proper marketing to target audience • Improve visibility and credibility • Promote to health prof. associate, hospitals, small clinics in areas with large student population (e.g. Boston); large regional and inner city high schools • Platforms • iOS and Android • "Health and Fitness"; "Education"; "Medical" categories • Immediate launch • Possible Blackberry AppWorld launch with good response
Marketing plan • Price • Free • Small advertisement bars at bottom • If affiliation becomes costly - will suggest that app cost $1.99 to cover costs • Not ideal - high school and college students not inclined to pay for apps
Limitations • Linking with EHRs is logistically difficult because of interoperability issues and HIPAA privacy concerns. • Suggest partnering with major EHR vendor to ensure interoperability, sustainability, and expertise • The "use-case" is limited; students may be unlikely to download the app without first being prompted by a clinician • Emphasize marketing campaign and awareness, rewards during roll-out, etc. • Grouping symptoms and suggesting questions may contribute to psychosomatic perception of conditions and self-misdiagnosis
