SmartEngage is a comprehensive consumer healthcare education tool that includes a multimedia encyclopedia, in-depth reports, complementary and alternative medicine, wellness tools, health navigator and the A.D.A.M. community.
Vice President of A.D.A.M. Soula Chronopoulos said, "The SmartEngage program was designed to provide comprehensive patient education that not only connects the end user to the healthcare organization, but also empowers the patient to take control of their health. Mobile enabled and enhanced with award-winning images and animations, the program engages and informs the user on critical self-care topics, and promotes compliance and patient outreach."
The product is flexible in allowing healthcare organizations to embed the content within their consumer and patient portals, with the ability to customize the content to meet their specific goals.
Soula Chronopoulos added, "Enabling this feature gives the healthcare organization complete ownership of the articles, yet the organization will continue to receive regular medical updates from A.D.A.M. Furthermore, we are evolving the program to support patient journeys that tap into gamification that will provide patients with key information that will help them make informed decisions about their health."
The content is available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
In summary this "Next Generation" tool from A.D.A.M. makes complex healthcare subject matter understandable and most importantly usable by the patient so that they really can participate in managing their own health!
