By It’s 2018, and there’s no shortage of tech products to help better our day to day lives. From scheduling apps, reminders and lifestyle based solutions. But what about those making a difference in healthcare? Software that is helping bridge the gap between consumer and doctor, Nurse and Hospital. Here we take a look at 5 tech products that are helping change the game in our line of work.
- True
True is a social validation tool, and is helping bridge the gap between consumers and all areas of health, from vets to doctor locations. Signing up with a new doctor, dentist or veterinarian for your pooch can be daunting. You want to rely on reviews, but even one small negative can disable you from making a decision. True helps you decide which option is for you by showing true social validation, in other words – it shows you how many people trusted to use that business in any given time frame.
The purpose of the tool is to show how many other people are making an active decision on a website, business or store. Would it make you feel more at ease if you saw how many people booked with a dentist, vet or doctor? True thinks so, and has helped businesses in the health industry increase their bookings by up to 140%.You can read more or sign up at – UseTrue.com - Nurse GridIf you haven’t heard of Nurse Grid, you should have.
