The Hidden Cost of Lost Directions

It may surprise you to learn that wayfinding challenges are more than a minor inconvenience—they’re a costly affair. Take Emory University’s staggering $200,000 annual loss due to wayfinding inefficiencies as a wake-up call. The story is the same across medical campuses sprawling over city blocks—lost visitors, delayed care, and the inevitable financial leak.

A Labyrinth of Complexity

Imagine a vast complex with nearly 200 beds, multiple floors, and a constant state of flux due to renovations. Now consider that nearly one-third of first-time visitors and a quarter of hospital staff find themselves disoriented in these spaces. Traditional navigation aids falter here, where GPS signals can’t penetrate, and static signs become outdated overnight.

The Digital Compass: A Leap in Wayfinding

The answer to this disarray? A mobile wayfinding solution that offers real-time, on-demand digital navigation. Such technology not only alleviates the need for human direction but also curtails the margin for error, reduces patient and staff anxiety, and secures the revenue that would otherwise be lost to confusion, missed appointments and patients leaving without being seen.

The Phunware Difference

Not all digital navigation tools are created equal. Phunware stands apart, having deployed over 110 million square feet of cutting-edge wayfinding solutions across some of the world’s most complex environments. Phunware’s proprietary platform transitions seamlessly between indoor and outdoor environments and excels with real-time positioning, navigation, and multilingual, ADA-compliant guidance that doesn’t rely on WiFi, ensuring no one—regardless of their physical abilities—is left behind.

Charting a New Path in Healthcare

Phunware is not just navigating the present, but pioneering the future. We envision a world where wayfinding is no longer a source of stress but a gateway to efficient, cost-effective, and safer healthcare experiences. It’s time to transform the way we find our way in healthcare—turning a web of corridors into a clear, navigable path to wellness. Join us as we turn complexity into clarity, guiding you to better care, one tap at a time.

The routing technology uses a mix of GPS, Bluetooth, and Dead Reckoning technology to display the user’s current location in the form of a blue dot with 1m accuracy. Dead Reckoning involves device sensors such as accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass as well as heuristics to predict which route segment the user will take next. All calculations happen on-device. Therefore a network connection is not needed for routing to function.

Unlike traditional indoor wayfinding solutions, Phunware’s Convention Center Wayfinding Solution doesn’t require an onsite team to rescan the updated layout of a space each time it is reconfigured.
Instead, the solution leverages an innovative approach of creating a 5’x5’ grid of potential routes in the entire convention space. The scan therefore only happens once and captures the Bluetooth beacon signals from every possible route segment.

When it’s time for a new convention, a map is loaded into the Phunware web portal with booths displayed. The 5’x5’ grid of route segments is displayed over that and individual route segments are then enabled to create navigable routes along the convention floor. Points of Interest are placed for each booth, allowing mobile app users to search and route to any of these POIs.

(NASDAQ: PHUN) (the “Company”), the pioneer of Location Based SaaS that offers the only fully integrated enterprise cloud platform for mobile that enables brands to engage, manage and monetize anyone anywhere, has entered into a purchase agreement for a committed equity facility with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), a Chicago-based institutional investor.

Russ Buyse, Chief Executive Officer of Phunware, commented, “We are excited about the future of the Company, and this financing agreement provides us the flexibility to further commercialize our industry-leading platform, while giving us the best chance to limit dilution before realizing important strategic milestones that we believe will maximize shareholder value.”

Under the purchase agreement, Phunware will have the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $30.0 million of its common stock to LPC over a 24-month period subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement. Phunware will control the timing and amount of any sales to LPC with no upper limits to the price LPC may pay to purchase such common stock. The purchase agreement may be terminated by Phunware at any time, in its sole discretion, without any additional cost or penalty.

“This agreement allows us to be opportunistic with our capital strategy, and our shelf registration statement provides the potential for additional financing alternatives as we consider what’s best for shareholders,” stated Troy Reisner, Phunware’s Chief Financial Officer. “Given the ongoing market uncertainty, we believe this kind of optionality is critical and we are excited to enter into this agreement with Lincoln Park Capital as part of Phunware’s long-term growth strategy.”

A description of the purchase agreement is set forth in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which the Company filed with the SEC on Wednesday, August 23, 2023.

The post Phunware Sets Second Quarter 2023 Earnings Call for Thursday, August 10, 2023 at 4:30 p.m. ET appeared first on Phunware.

Phunware is a publicly traded technology company and pioneer of Multiscreen-as-a-Service, a fully integrated enterprise cloud platform for mobile that provides companies the products, solutions, data, and services necessary to engage, manage and monetize their mobile application portfolios and audiences globally at scale.

The company alleges that UBS engaged in a deceptive market manipulation tactic known as spoofing, in which UBS placed huge quantities of sell orders to fool the market into devaluing the company’s stock so that it could then buy the company’s stock at a lower price. UBS then immediately cancelled the sell orders, so it could reap profits at the expense of Phunware and its investors.

“UBS deceptively engaged in stock spoofing, an abuse of our financial system, which had and continues to have lasting negative impacts on Phunware,” said Laura Posner, partner at Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC. “We look forward to holding UBS accountable for the damage it has caused to the company, its shareholders and the markets at large.”

The spoofing episodes against UBS are alleged to have taken place repeatedly over a two-year stretch, sometimes multiple times a day. Phunware alleges that by repeatedly and brazenly manipulating the market through spoofing, UBS artificially and negatively impacted the price of Phunware’s stock in the market, causing Phunware to suffer significant losses when it sold over 34 million shares at manipulated and devalued prices.

Analysts consistently recommended Phunware to investors throughout this two-year period, with all four of the firms following PHUN assigning it “Buy” ratings at price targets that were typically over $2 and reached as high as $6 – levels considerably higher than the actual prices at which PHUN traded. This discrepancy persists to this day, with analysts’ current price targets exceeding PHUN’s share price by over 300%.

In the complaint, Phunware demonstrates through de-anonymized Nasdaq market information that UBS placed over 82 million Baiting Orders and purchased over 640,000 shares in over 1,000 executed orders at manipulated prices in the two-year period. UBS’s ratio of sell-side orders per spoofed executing purchase was more than 4 times that of non-spoofed executed purchases.

At the forefront of this revolution is the Digital Patient Experience.

The importance of the digital patient experience cannot be overstated, as it plays a pivotal role in shaping patients’ perceptions and satisfaction with their care. Hence, investment in digital solutions is reportedly an essential action for improved healthcare experience.

After all, a positive patient experience can lead to increased satisfaction, improved treatment adherence, and even better health outcomes.

In this blog post, we’ll delve into the exciting world of digital healthcare, exploring how technology is shaping how we access and manage our health. From user-friendly healthcare apps and websites to the latest trends and innovations, and the challenges that come with this digital transformation – we’ll uncover everything including the building blocks of a successful digital patient experience.

Understanding the Digital Patient Experience

Digital Patient Experience (DPE) refers to the use of digital technology for patient engagement activities that take place both inside and outside the healthcare environment. Digital patient experience enhances the journey of a patient through a healthcare organization by making the process of receiving care easier and more efficient.

Unlike traditional healthcare interactions that often involve face-to-face consultations, paperwork, and manual processes, the digital patient experience leverages technology to improve accessibility, convenience, and efficiency in healthcare delivery. 

Benefits of a Positive Digital Patient Experience

The implementation of digital patient experience offers several advantages, not just for healthcare providers but also for patients. Some of the key benefits that come with a positive digital patient experience are:

Improved Patient Satisfaction

With the use of digital technology, patients have access to more personalized touch points with their care providers which leads to improved patient satisfaction and engagement. Patients can access their medical records, ask questions, view their results, and even book consultations with clinicians, all from their mobile devices. This promotes a higher level of engagement between patients and care providers leading to better health outcomes.

Enhanced Access to Healthcare Services

Digital technologies enable patients to access medical services, such as telehealth or virtual visits. This is helpful for patients who find it difficult to access healthcare services, such as aging adults or those living in rural areas.

Better Health Outcomes

Digital technologies enable effective monitoring of patient health records. This enhances diagnoses and empowers the healthcare organization to offer more personalized advice. 

Improved Operational Efficiency

With digital technologies, healthcare operational processes become faster and more efficient. From patient check-ins to storage of medical records, care providers can safely manage and store data in the cloud. Automation of healthcare processes such as scheduling, reminders, and follow-ups simplify operational processes, resulting in time-saving and fewer resource requirements.

Building Blocks of a Successful Digital Patient Experience

Patients today expect the same level of convenience and personalization from their healthcare providers as they do from other industries. Therefore, healthcare organizations must understand the core elements of a digital patient experience so they can meet patients’ expectations. The building blocks of a successful digital patient experience are:

Seamless Appointment Scheduling and Access

The first step towards creating a successful digital patient experience is to ensure that patients can easily book and access appointments. Utilizing online booking platforms and implementing virtual waiting rooms and telemedicine capabilities has been shown to increase convenience for both providers and patients thus, they should be a priority.

To further enhance the appointment scheduling and access process, healthcare providers can leverage the digital experience to guide patients throughout their journey, from booking to attending their physical appointments with instantaneous reminders, and GPS and on-site navigation to easily attend their appointments. 

Personalized Patient Portals

Empowering patients with access to their health records, customizable features, and patient-centric information is an integral part of digital patient experiences. Healthcare organizations should develop personalized patient portals with enhanced patient engagement capabilities.

Communication and Engagement Tools

Leveraging secure messaging and chatbots on the patient portals allows for effective. Patients can get quick responses to queries, and access interactive and educative resources. This will enable them to better understand their treatment plans and participate more in their care.

Integrating Wearable Devices and Remote Monitoring

Connecting patients’  wearables and implementing remote monitoring allow for real-time health tracking. Integrating devices such as smartwatches, and smart thermometers with patient portals will enable healthcare organizations to capture real-time patient wellness information and offer proactive healthcare interventions.

Designing User-Friendly Healthcare Apps and Websites

A fundamental part of making healthcare services better and more accessible is to ensure the digital patient experience delivers a good user experience (UX). Many factors contribute to good UX, including:

• Intuitive navigation with clear and concise instructions.
• Clear and organized information structure
• Visually appealing design

Responsive Design for Mobile Accessibility

Easy access to healthcare services on mobile platforms is now a necessity, and this is where responsive design comes into the picture. Responsive design helps healthcare platforms to adapt to different screen sizes, ensuring optimized features and usability across devices. It also entails designing healthcare platforms to be mobile-friendly, e.g., the use of large buttons for touching/tapping, optimizing image, scripts, and other resources to reduce load times.

Additionally, apps focused on monitoring and tracking health data need to provide reliable and secure data handling. This denotes the need for effective backend integration, security protocols, and testing approaches. 

Incorporating User Feedback and Iterative Improvements

To create functional healthcare apps and websites, it’s essential to collect patient feedback and iteratively use it to enhance the platform based on their needs. Some strategies for incorporating user feedback for improvement include

• Conducting usability tests with real users to identify pain points, areas for improvement, and opportunities for innovation.
• Providing accessible channels for users to share their feedback, such as surveys, contact forms, and social media.

Overcoming Challenges in Digital Patient Experience

As promising and transformative as the technologies propagating patient experience, some challenges must be addressed to fully realize the potential of the digital patient experience.

For example, ensuring the privacy and security of patient data is paramount as we transition to more digital technologies. Privacy and data security concerns can be addressed by implementing robust data security systems that comply with all applicable regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). 

Additionally, all digital solutions should be designed with explicit data and privacy settings that give patients control over their data.

Bridging the Digital Divide

Disparities in digital access and literacy can lead to unequal access to healthcare and digital services. This results in a digital divide between underserved and marginalized populations and the general population. Healthcare providers can ensure inclusivity by collaborating with local municipalities to create more affordable access to digital technologies.

Additionally, training programs that provide digital literacy and healthcare information to underserved populations can be an effective way to bridge the digital gap.

Overcoming Technological Barriers

Integrating legacy systems with new digital solutions can be a major hurdle for healthcare providers. It can also be challenging to train healthcare professionals to use new digital solutions and technologies. To overcome these barriers, healthcare providers should focus on creating strategic plans that incorporate digital transformation across multiple platforms. It’s also important to provide caregivers with adequate training and support. 

By leveraging the strengths of digital technologies and existing healthcare processes, providers can effectively mitigate any technological barriers and drive greater patient experience.  

Future Trends and Innovations

With revolutionary solutions reshaping how healthcare works, the digital patient experience is quickly becoming the new reality of healthcare. Digital advancements and innovations have enabled us to transform the traditional healthcare experience into something more personalized, accessible, and cost-efficient.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are beneficial for healthcare in terms of personalized and predictive patient care and diagnosis. This technology can be used to monitor patient health at scale, as well as provide personalized recommendations and support for patients based on their medical histories.

AI and ML can also be used to support treatments with evidence-based data, enabling doctors to make more informed decisions about patient diagnoses and recommendations. An example of this is the Canadian AI company Atomwise, which uses AI-supported technology to analyze medical records and predict potential targeted therapies for cancers. 

Virtual and augmented realities (VR and AR) are also transforming healthcare by providing patients with immersive experiences. Phunware is pioneering geolocation-based triggers that deliver timely directions and content to users as they enter and exit the healthcare facility. With AR, this could be further be applied to wayfinding or other onsite experiences.

Furthermore, medical professionals can provide training for healthcare staff using virtual simulations to mimic real-world scenarios. 

Blockchain technology, although still developing, allows for secure data exchange between providers. This enables patients to easily switch between providers without worrying about loss of data. 

Blockchain facilitates data interoperability which ensures that data is accessible across different platforms and sources. This allows healthcare providers to share information across organizations thus, empowering patients to access the best healthcare regardless of their location. An example of such technology is the US-based company MedicalChain, which uses blockchain technology to securely transfer medical records between providers, resulting in better care for patients. 

Conclusion

As we’ve explored throughout this blog post, the digital patient experience is undeniably a cornerstone of modern healthcare. It is transforming how patients access and manage their health, leading to numerous advantages and most importantly better overall health outcomes.

To create a successful digital patient experience, it’s crucial to focus on these essential elements:

• Developing user-friendly healthcare apps and websites
• Addressing challenges like privacy concerns, digital divide, and technological barriers
• Keeping up with future trends and innovations such as AI, VR, AR, and blockchain

Embracing these key components and prioritizing the patient experience will help ensure your healthcare organization remains competitive and can always meet the changing needs of patients.
