HealthBook+ steps up personalisation and digital care drive with new advisory board

AI-powered, digital health platform HealthBook+, which empowers users to take ownership of their own health through guidance and early identification of conditions, has announced a new medical advisory board.

The board brings together specialist clinicians with experience and expertise in a broad range of key fields including mental and behavioural health, paediatrics, concierge medicine, direct primary care, genetics, and healthcare-related AI issues.

Having played an integral role since the creation of the company, the board has now been officially installed to help further drive its progress, including in continuing to develop the accuracy of the platform and its personalised digital care service.

HealthBook+ aims to empower individuals to take appropriate health actions based on in-depth analysis of their confidential health data and related info.

This is sourced from provider-based electronic health records, health plan claims data, personal wearable health trackers and other connected devices, social determinant of health profiles and via self-reporting.

Proprietary, predictive analytics and AI models are applied to identify potential conditions early on. Next best health actions are then presented to the individual along with options for them to easily connect with their healthcare providers.

The medical advisory board’s remit includes:
