Are Wellness & Diagnostic Apps Transforming ‘Patient Experiences’?

The mobile engagement has swiftly risen to one of the top four strategies for delivering next-gen experiences to customers — thanks to the rate of adoption of mobile devices and applications in the last ten years. The rapid growth has prompted organizations to take the mobile-first approach for enhancing the customer’s journey.  The ‘mobile engagement’ market is currently valued at around $6B and is expected to reach $38.7B by 2023, growing at 43.4% CAGR.

The benefits have transcended the initial hype from several years ago, offering deep, yet economical marketing channels across all verticals. Companies are now able to leverage valuable insights into the behaviour of their prime users in order to attract, engage, acquire and retain those most loyal to them.

Mobile apps 

From online retailers to financial services, the agile nature of mobile forces companies to come up with newer ways to service customers ‘on the go’. General health & fitness apps have become a lucrative niche on its own. Many ‘Wellness’ and ‘self-diagnostic’ customer engagement apps have witnessed a soaring trend in usage rates globally. Among a long list of patient engagement approaches, these apps are proving to be effective in improving patient satisfaction and building strong emotional connections with brands.

Intelligently designed, content-rich mobile apps can become important tools for insurers, healthcare providers, and medical diagnostic chains to better their customer experience KPIs.

According to McKinsey, patients across the healthcare and diagnostics spectrum are looking for simple and user-friendly tools from their providers. Nearly 89% of doctors are likely to recommend a mobile healthcare app to patients.
