OceanMD set to launch ‘Health Messenger’

VANCOUVER and TORONTO – WELL Health Technologies Corp, a digital healthcare company, is set to launch its Health Messenger Product in calendar Q2. This cutting-edge, patient-facing interface is designed to enhance secure communications between healthcare providers and their patients, featuring a mobile-first responsive design for superior accessibility, the company said.

Health Messenger will enable patients to easily send messages and attachments to their providers, and share these communications with family members and caregivers, fostering transparency and access to health data.

This initiative is expected to positively impact millions of patients, leveraging Ocean’s support of over 2 million patient engagements each month, including more than 1.6 million patient messages and reminders.

Jeff Kavanagh (pictured), co-founder and CEO of OceanMD commented on the upcoming launch of Health Messenger, “By enhancing the way healthcare providers connect with their patients, we are not only improving the efficiency and security of these interactions but also ensuring that every patient receives the timely care and support they need. This initiative is a pivotal step towards empowering patients to take an active role in their healthcare journey, fostering greater engagement and control over their health. Our vision extends beyond just communication; we aim to positively transform healthcare delivery by establishing Ocean as the country’s leading interoperability platform.”

As of April 1, 2024, just one year after the launch of their province-wide central intakes, primary care providers and surgeons in the province of Nova Scotia will be required to use Ocean eReferrals to send and receive referrals for surgical consults and Diagnostic Imaging services.

This is a good example of the key role that Ocean plays in WELL’s public sector offerings.
