Startup Highlight: Inspired Patient

"Patients and caregivers today are increasingly challenged by the complexity of the health care journey. Patients, families and caregivers are overwhelmed with information, anxiety about the journey and confused by the process. And professionals face similar challenges in engaging and inspiring patients to the best health outcome possible. 

Inspired Patient provides a web platform for patients to effectively manage their health journey by providing collaboration, organization and documentation tools for the patient and their health team."

Are digital health technologies really good for our health?
