Q - Is WellDoc a Disease Management company?
A - No. WellDoc is not a Disease Management company. WellDoc is a medically-focused software development company that leverages data analytics and real-time information sharing to help improve patient healthcare outcomes and reduce costs. Our diabetes management application can be a complementary and enhancing component to traditional disease management. In fact, our diabetes management application can help increase the efficiency of disease management case workers.
Q - Is WellDoc's system flexible for patients and clinicians?
A - Absolutely. WellDoc works with its customers to deliver a highly customized solution that meets the customers' needs. All of the components of our software application have been built in a highly flexible and modular manner to allow for customer input. We recognize that there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution.
Q - Does the application require special hardware?
A - No. Our goal is to allow patients to access our application on the devices they use everyday. We are working to make our application available on over 200 commercially available phone models and on all major cellular networks in the United States.
Q - Does WellDoc's software only work on a cell phone?
A - No. We want patients to use the devices that are most convenient for them. WellDoc is hardware "agnostic." Ultimately, our application will work on many different types of devices, including but not limited to cable set top boxes, pocket PCs, computers, and other types of devices.
Q - Do clinicians have to use WellDoc's web portals?
A - No. Clinicians will always have access to our web portals but our long-term objective is to integrate our analysis into the medical systems they use and perhaps have already invested in to manage their patients.
Q - Is WellDoc's software customizable?
A - Yes. Our application is customizable on many levels. We can configure our patient-facing software to capture data for multiple disease states to support patients with multiple co-morbidities. In addition, our longitudinal data analysis can be tailored to meet specific partners' needs with respect to the types of behaviors trapped, analyzed and escalated for human intervention. Lastly, WellDoc can incorporate the drug formularies of its partners to ensure that any recommendations to clinicians regarding pharmacotherapy present the lowest cost option.
Q - Does WellDoc offer medical advice?
A - No. WellDoc offers coaching and support to patients as well as easier access to their physicians' medication instructions. Our analysis for physicians is consultative - physicians can use their judgment and our information to best treat their patient. WellDoc makes it easier for patients and physicians to communicate.
