Transforming Healthcare Bridging the Digital Divide

Healthcare demand is consistently high, and time is always in short order.

We know this firsthand from working closely with our clients and through our discovery processes with them.

We want to share some insights from the Acorn team's time at the International Economic Forum of the Americas (IEFA) Conference of Montreal - Leading In An Accelerating World. The IEFA brings together leaders from various sectors—government, business, unions, and academia—to spark innovation and tackle the world's biggest challenges.

During the panel on 'The Digitalization of Healthcare,' it became clear how much room there is to improve data management, user experience, and the integration of diverse data sources to help medical professionals overcome current and upcoming challenges.

Our participation in the Conference of Montreal reinforced that Acorn is uniquely positioned to provide valuable support in these areas and related fields in medical service delivery.

Acorn is currently working with wheelchair, mobility, and accessories providers on digital infrastructure and e-commerce projects. As we broaden our industry engagement, we can apply our expertise but are not limited to:

  • Mobility and Seating
  • Rehabilitation Technology Centers
  • Assistive Technology Clinics
  • Orthotics and Prosthetics Clinics

From both the conference and our time serving clients as a software development agency...

we're realizing there are trends that should be acknowledged in order to solve systems level problems.

To summarize:

There's a lot to do... and a lot that can be done! The past few years have shown us more than ever that decision overload is real and data increasingly needs to be managed, secured and used effectively.

Acorn Interactive is committed to identifying the right problems to tackle with clients. Our expertise includes:

  • producing meaningful digital architectures that provide analytics/diagnostics
  • user experience paradigms
  • user interface patterns
  • holistic digital system designs

These skills are congruent to resolving many of the issues outlined in the Digitization of Health session at the Conference of Montreal. Our hope is to better serve medical equipment vendors, medical practitioners, and medical administrative teams with immersive digital experiences.

It all starts with a conversation. Getting to know one another. Learning how we can help our clients.

We can't wait to get started.
