[3 MIN READ]
Imagine the following:
- You schedule surgery and immediately get an email from your doctor’s office that contains an Amazon list with links to purchase everything you’ll need after your procedure.
- Your doctor prescribes a CPAP machine to manage your sleep apnea and then digitally monitors your usage to ensure you’re using the equipment correctly and offer tips to improve your experience.
- Your lab work indicates you may be at risk for diabetes if you don’t lower your glucose levels and you receive meal plans, recipes and grocery lists via text to your phone for easy access.
It sounds almost too good to be true, but each of those scenarios is either possible now or expected in the near future with the help of the digital platform Xealth.
Xealth works with your health system’s electronic health record (EHR) to organize, integrate, deploy and activate health tools to improve your level of care.

Integrate
Xealth bridges the gap between physicians, vendors, clinicians and patients by providing a secure, consistent exchange of information for everyone involved. The system offers real-time patient-generated data and uses live chat to simplify communication between you and your health care providers.
Prescribe
Your care team can use Xealth to provide individualized digital health content, suggest apps to address specific issues, schedule tests and prescribe home health devices. Future applications include a partnership with Amazon that will allow your doctor to prescribe the medical supplies you need and have them delivered to your home.
Monitor
Your doctor can monitor whether you’re using home health equipment correctly or attending your physical therapy appointments and adjust your treatment plan accordingly. By tracking activity and use, Xealth can provide valuable insight that helps keep you engaged with your care.
Analyze
By making it easy to compile and measure the outcomes and effectiveness of different treatments and programs across the health system, Xealth can help your care team refine their approach so it meets your needs with ease.
