Continuous Testing to Deliver Results
OVERVIEW
A health tech start-up sought Prakat’s expertise to enhance care quality by tracking patient data and facilitating routine diagnostic procedures at appropriate intervals. Medicare and various private insurance providers offer preventive care services, including assessments and diagnostics that occur at specific times. During the pandemic, many of these assessments required telehealth for administration, further complicating the process. The necessary data for primary care physicians included age, gender, ethnicity, family history, and more, with a focus on legal compliance to protect patient identities.
