With a successful implementation of Healthfully's platform, Uptiv Health has achieved 100% patient adoption and is poised for expansion. Here’s how they got there.
The Challenge

- Tailors care plans to each patient’s journey. This feature allows the care team to set care goals with the patient, assess patient needs, and customize activities, to align each patient with their unique health objectives.
- Enables transparent billing and in-app payment. Understanding the cost of care and managing the expense is easier with the app, as patients can view their co-pay amounts and make payments directly through the app, simplifying the financial aspects of patient care
