Patients to rank medics’ performance using new tech tool

Patients across the globe will be able to rank their treatment and experience at the hands of doctors thanks to a new benchmarking gauge.

Launched by Doctify – which operates a comparison site for patients and medics – the tool uses sentiment analysis to allow healthcare providers to see where they rank in terms of patient care and satisfaction.

Doctors and hospitals can also measure themselves against their peers, colleagues and competitors on a national and international scale in terms of their procedures, treatments and consultants.

Using machine learning to translate patient feedback into real-time actionable insights for healthcare providers, the Doctify gauge is intended to give medics critical insights into patient priorities.

Stephanie Eltz, co-founder and CEO of Doctify, said: “Patients should be in the driving seat when it comes to improving healthcare. Our benchmarking tool gives real power to the patient’s voice.”

London-based Doctify was recently named by the Financial Times as one of the fastest growing health tech companies in Europe.
