Medical Electronics Healthfinch focuses on helping doctors reduce burdens

Imagine that you are a doctor, and the daily work schedule is full and compact: consultation, ward rounding, prescribing, testing, communicating with patients... After doing all this, you feel exhausted and want to sit in the office and take a breather. However, as soon as you sit down, you will see a prompt on the computer screen in front of you: dozens of unread emails have been added to the inbox, most of which are applications for renewal from chronic patients. Dealing with these applications is not a difficult task, but it takes a lot of time; there are critically ill patients waiting for you to follow up on the treatment, if you are often repetitive and trivial. Troubled, try to ask for Healthfinch.

Positioning: Improve EHR efficiency

Healthfinch is an EHR e-health application company based in Madison, Wisconsin, USA, with Jonathan Baran as CEO and co-founder of the company. Jonathan studied biomedical engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and continued to study human factors engineering after graduating from the University. During Jonathan's work and study, he gradually discovered some blind spots in the EHR field, and he came up with the idea of ​​designing an application that can improve the efficiency of EHR and improve the efficiency of the medical service provider.

However, because Jonathan is not a doctor, he is not very familiar with the doctor's workflow. If you want to successfully implement your ideas, this will be a big obstacle. Fortunately, in 2011, at a Mayo Innovation Conference, Jonathan met Dr. Lyle Berkowitz, and the two hit it off, so they had Healthfinch.

Goal: Industry first

Speaking of the motivation to create Healthfinch, Baran said that although the emergence and widespread use of EHR electronic medical records has brought the dawn of improving medical results and fully optimizing the workflow of medical institutions, it also exposed some problems, which is very difficult. One thing that endures is that after the EHR electronic medical record application, doctors have to sacrifice a lot of work time to deal with basic, repetitive and trivial tasks, such as simple data entry and case management. Advocates of EHR electronic medical records, both in terms of regulation and technology, are aware of this ill and have given enough attention.

Let's look at one data: On average, every doctor in a medical institution has to diagnose 20 patients a day. This is no small workload, but in addition they have to spend four hours to deal with those routines. , unpaid, repetitive work. The Healthfinch team saw these problems and business opportunities in advance, and began to conceive solutions to try to use technology to help physicians complete this part of the repetitive, low-value work. Although it was just a startup, at the beginning of its establishment, Healthfinch was determined to be the first in this field.

To put it simply, what Healthfinch has to do is to build a technology platform on top of the EHR electronic medical record system to automate repetitive and trivial work.
