Healthcare Mobile App Company Seeks Advisor for Analytics and Strategy - Ongoing

Project Description

Vytaliz is a startup out of New York that offers a suite of in-home, on-demand medical services via a mobile app. The service works similar to Uber where patients are linked to the closest Vytaliz nurses in their area, who are deployed to the patients’ location within 30mins to an hour from when a request is put in. During the visits, the patient and nurse are connected to a doctor via videoconference for a complete visit. Vytaliz, via it’s mobile app and 3rd party Electronic Medical Records system, collects certain patient information (basic info, medical history, medications, allergies, etc…). We are seeking the help of an expert in healthcare data analytics for Advisory Services on what patient (or other) data is likely to be the most valuable for us now and in the future. Our medical professionals meet patients face to face and often in their homes or offices and can get a great sense of a patient’s lifestyle in addition to their medical history. Among others, the following are some examples of questions we’re looking to get expert advice on:

What patient data should we be collecting?

• Demographics
• Medical history, allergies, medications
• Lifestyle issues
• Diet
• Psychological wellbeing
• Social issues

Answers to following questions:

• What the best way for us to collect this data (from the patient, on the app, other?)
• Should we aim to integrate into other EMR systems to collect information?
• How to store the data (HIPAA issues)
• How to manage the data
• How to analyze the data and its implications
• How best to make use of the data

Advisor will provide guidance over an extended period.
