Secaucus, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/24/2017 -- On May 23, a study published by the market leading research company Maru/Matchbox confirmed that more than three quarters of hospital-related physicians are receptive to utilizing Digital Medicine in their practices. The same study also claimed that more than two thirds of patients are also eager to use Digital Medicine as a means to better care.
These statistics confirm Dr. Ashish Atreja's vision in co-founding Responsive Health and launching its flagship product RxUniverse, the first-to-market prescription platform bringing Digital Medicine to health systems and patients at the point of care.
"Over a decade ago, we saw the need for continual care that extended beyond a patient's office visit," said Dr. Atreja. "Numbers indicating the majority of patients and healthcare providers are now embracing Digital Medicine is so thrilling, that's why Responsive Health was first to seize the opportunity and why we believe health systems across America view Prescribing Digital Medicine as a key component of their practice."
The same Maru/Matchbox Healthcare Industry Study further echoed Dr. Atreja's sentiments on improving patient satisfaction and increasing overall efficiencies.
The benefits of Digital Medicine are clear for patients. Digital Medicine literally puts healthcare in the patient's hand through mobile health apps curated by RxUniverse's sophisticated evaluation matrix, which assesses apps based on clinical trials, HIPAA compliance, and more.
In addition to his role as co-founder of Responsive Health, Dr. Atreja has been working to pioneer Digital Medicine for the past decade first as a physician at the Cleveland Clinic, where he served as an informatics fellow. He then joined Mount Sinai Health System as the Chief Innovation and Engagement Officer of Medicine. Dr. Atreja runs the Sinai App Lab where the RxUniverse Digital Medicine Prescription Platform was originally created. Dr. Atreja also runs NODE Health, a consortium of over 20 health systems. NODE Health, the Network of Digital Evidence, focuses on the evidence required for Health Systems to collaboratively adopt Digital Medicine solutions.
