IValueHealth.NET Is Adding New Features To Its Platform And Reduces The Gap Between Doctors And Patients By Building Connected Doctor-Patient Relationships

Online, December 28, 2012 (Newswire.com) - A qualitative study was conducted by the European Commission earlier this year regarding "Patient involvement in healthcare". Some findings show a "traditional doctor-patient relationship", where the doctor was seen as beyond questioning and patients felt uncomfortable giving feedback. Communication was central to the idea of patient involvement for many of the person questioned. The main barrier to effective communication was the time available for doctors to spend with patients.

Moreover, findings indicate that patient involvement, in the sense of having patients at the heart of the healthcare process, seems poorly understood by many professionals and patients across the EU, with only limited concrete ideas and activities which demonstrate the concept in real healthcare practices.

iValueHealth.NET is a Health-related multilingual platform (or Hub) where users can access basic medical information, health applications and connect with healthcare professionals in just 2 clicks. Launched earlier this year, iValueHealth.NET attracted over 90K users from Europe and other continents of the world. It is designed to bring the user-friendly technological solution which bridges the gap between patients and their doctors.

Acknowledging its success, iValueHealth.NET steps forward and adds new features to its platform, aiming to help doctors and their patients to overcome communication challenges that may exist between them.

Doctors are now able to have a general view of their patients and can easily send private messages, improving overall communication with them. A service allowing doctors and patients to fix appointments through the platform is also available.

Patients can also contact their medical professional and ask for help, information, or view on any basic health issue, eliminating the burden of fixing appointments, waiting for availability and moving to the doctor's office.

iValueHealth.NET represents, for the entire healthcare ecosystem, a refreshing change that makes healthcare accessible for everyone.
