Orvos: Health App & Award Winning Pitch
brief
Due to old systems, effective communication in healthcare between patients and practitioners outside of appointments is often challenging and inefficient.
The Problem

- 21% of health professionals report filing Electronic Health Records is a major source of stress
- 32% of patients report that managing appointments is a frustrating experience adding to a stressful situation.
Results & Takeaways
Time management and adapting to tight deadlines—despite limited time, our team communicated effectively and leveraged our strengths to deliver a winning design.
Opportunity
Improve efficiency and increase quality of healthcare for both Patients and Practitioners
Highlights
Key Problems
Competitors
We analyzed competitors to identify strengths and weaknesses in supporting patient-practitioner communication. We found that these platforms primarily focus on one-time visits or isolated aspects of the care process, rather than addressing the comprehensive needs of patients and healthcare providers.
