trakMD’s Healthbook: The First Personalized Healthcare-focused Social Medium

When trakMD was launched, it was never about an online appointment booking platform that patients can find and book doctors with, albeit a much needed tool for better accessibility to healthcare professionals. The two seasoned experts in the healthcare industry had, in fact, set their sights on building a comprehensive platform that serves as the go-to solution for everything healthcare, be it for patients or healthcare providers. 

The Evolution

The journey began with connecting patients and healthcare providers of all specialties through an online booking platform. Patients download trakMD’s free android or ios mobile application, search for a provider by specialty, location, and availability, and book their appointments instantly with the click of a button. On the other hand, trakMD presented healthcare providers with an appointment management solution that captures live schedule availabilities and places it at the palms of the patients’ hands, all while automating appointment reminders which has helped reduce no-shows significantly. The next step was implementing a personal health record for patients, of which they assume full ownership and decide whether to share it with a provider or not upon booking an appointment. As for healthcare providers, patient engagement features were gradually added, namely the preventive health reminders and the patient education module. Patient engagement has proved to be a key element in increasing patient retention and callbacks, in addition to empowering patients by placing them at the center of their healthcare experiences.

The Age of Misinformation

UAE authoritiese are teaming up with the Ministry of Interior, the UAE’s media authorities, and different departments in an effort to limit incidents caused by unauthorized health advice on the internet. The problem with medical misinformation, whether in the form of health tips or online diagnosis and treatment plans, is that it easily accessible by the public population and efforts to “regulate” on a national scale will prove futile in the face of thousands of international online websites and social media pages. The problem also extends to what may be recognized as “trustworthy”, where an article or a symptom checker can leave much space for individuals to make wrong assumptions, and possibly act upon it.

Healthbook

As healthcare providers utilize trakMD to fully manage their practices, and patients have the tools for an accessible and satisfactory healthcare experience, trakMD’s Healthbook follows naturally as the conclusive bridge to create a collaborative patient/doctor relationship that eliminates the risks of misinformation along the way.

The majority of healthcare providers and medical enterprises have established an online presence across the different social media platforms, and have heavily invested in reaching out and increasing patient volume. The nature of the social media platforms places what may be meant to deliver a serious message on a timeline populated with inconsequential posts (selfies, rumors, personal thoughts..etc). The Healthbook allows them to connect and reach out to users in a healthcare-only social medium that maximizes the efficiency of their submissions. Patients, on the other hand, are insulated from misinformation and connected with peers interested in the same health topics.

Healthcare providers share their posts via articles, infographics, or videos seamlessly from their trakMD dashboard, and entries are automatically tagged with their specialties and keywords that fall under specific health topics. Patients enjoy a personalized timeline populated with entries from healthcare providers they follow and other providers sharing posts about health topics they are subscribed to. Patients are also able to interact with providers by “Thanking” through a dedicated button under each entry, replying with inquiries which will be transferred to a dedicated Q&A section and automatically tagged for providers interested in providing feedback, and sharing posts across other social media platforms.

The Healthbook is the epitome of the participatory healthcare experience trakMD aims to promote, where patients are empowered to take a more active role in their healthcare journey.

  4. Trendy pieces are fun, but I only buy them when the price is reasonable. I have learned to avoid items that look extremely different in every product photo. Of course we all have different taste, but patterns still appear in long discussions. In the end it is all about finding what matches your own habits and lifestyle. In the end there is no perfect shop, but some stores are clearly more consistent.

    If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test.

    Having a tracking number that works on common sites is very convenient. In the end there is no perfect shop, but some stores are clearly more consistent. If tracking never updates for weeks, I start to worry about the order. Online shopping will always have a bit of risk, but experience makes it easier. On the other hand, a well made pair of glasses can last a long time and feel comfortable all day. I prefer simple designs that do not depend only on heavy filters in the pictures.

    Just sharing my personal feedback.

  5. Forums, blogs and communities create a kind of collective memory for shoppers. I also started paying attention to how websites display sizing charts for clothing. Many times I avoided a bad purchase just by reading a few careful comments.

    Of course we all have different taste, but patterns still appear in long discussions. Having a tracking number that works on common sites is very convenient. Sharing real world usage stories is often more helpful than any advertisement. Even a short note like 鈥渢his size runs smaller than expected鈥?can help someone.

    Hope this helps someone.

  7. The main things I look at for glasses are frame weight, hinge quality and lens coating. I think sharing honest feedback helps other buyers avoid the same mistakes. I enjoy reading threads where people honestly share what worked and what failed for them. Good stitching usually means the item will not fall apart after one or two washes. For light summer tops I keep to my normal size to avoid a baggy look.

    Trendy pieces are fun, but I only buy them when the price is reasonable. If they ignore basic questions or reply with copy pasted text, I become suspicious. Sometimes I still make mistakes with size, so a friendly exchange policy is very helpful. If a piece of jewelry keeps its color and does not irritate the skin, I consider it a win. Some pieces look shiny online but feel like plastic when you open the package. Cheap frames can look nice at first but bend easily or become loose after a few weeks. Comfort around the heel and toes is more important than super fancy design. Sometimes I experiment with different materials just to see how they feel in daily life.

    Just sharing my personal feedback.
