Democratizing consumer healthcare access with HealthChampion
Today’s guest is Terrance Ryan, CEO of HealthChampion, a digital health analytics company focused on returning us to a people-driven healthcare ecosystem. HealthChampion is focused on digitizing and analyzing healthcare, empowering consumers to have greater control over their health data and decisions. HealthChampion works like a digital health passport. They currently offer their app for free, with a goal of rolling out a premium edition in the future. Many individuals have multiple health-related apps on their phones, as well as other health-related devices such as smart watches, fitness trackers, and even scales. These apps and devices are part of their daily lives. HealthChampion allows the consumer to consolidate information from all these areas, as well as electronic healthcare records. Over 400 apps and devices are compatible with HealthChampion, with more being added daily. Using the app, consumers will not only be able to consolidate and learn from their data, but share it in any way they need. This could include sharing health information with a spouse or doctor. HealthChampion is HIPA compliant, and it is up to the consumer to choose what information they want to share and with whom.
