DocNow introduces new app features for better patient-doctor interaction

By Patrick Miller |

Appointment booking mobile platform ‘DocNow’, has made it to the headlines for bringing in newer in-app features that deliver better provisions for patients. With this launch, DocNow has upped the ante in virtual healthcare, as these easy-to-use features are expected to help fast-track patient-practitioner interaction.

As per sources familiar with the matter, the DocNow mobile encompasses provisions such as a collection of custom-built ‘in-app’ self-assessment tools, instant access to Covid-19 resources, reminders for scheduled appointment coordination, smart alerts, a search component powered by artificial intelligence that’ll help patients communicate with practitioners conveniently from their home.

The increase in the prevalence of COVID-19 cases

The onset of COVID-19 and the consistent outbreaks of newer virus mutants have brought about a transformational shift in healthcare, with an influx of new apps and medical devices. To that end, DocNow’s latest features come as a massive advantage, especially given the rising number of COVID-19 cases. More and more patients are now increasing their reliability on resources that deliver readily accessible, prompt COVID-19 related assistance. DocNow helps patients connect with the service facility they like, sans any constraints. With the help of the app’s built-in location tracker, patients can easily access the nearest COVID center.

Another one of the major provisions that DocNow has equipped its patients with is the assortment of health-assessment tools. With these tools, patients can easily monitor their Body Mass Index (BMI) as many times as needed. In essence, the app helps to empower patients, enabling them to stay abreast of their preliminary health markers.

Most importantly, DocNow also helps expand patient access to service providers outside of its own network. With this app, patients can not only coordinate with practitioners within the DocNow framework, but can also seek out service providers operating beyond this domain. They will also be able to experience better connectivity with services that are already featured on its platform.

As per sources, the entire team of DocNow, including data engineers and concept technicians has worked to skillfully equip the app with these new features. The team apparently sees this as a salient component of the mobile platform’s innovative, progressive tele-healthcare continuum. The DocNow app, designed to intelligently integrate best patient care practices and state-of-the-art digital health technology, is likely to change the game of virtual healthcare in the future.
