HealthLynked Unveils Advanced
Search Functionality to Improve Patient Care
NAPLES, FL -- December 13, 2023 --
InvestorsHub NewsWire -- HealthLynked Corp. (OTCQB:
HLYK), a leader in the global healthcare network industry,
today announced the launch of a highly anticipated search
functionality update on its website and mobile applications. This
enhancement marks a significant milestone in HealthLynked's journey
to transform healthcare accessibility and connectivity.
Research shows that 67% of patients prefer to search for and book
appointments online or through an app, with 40% being booked after
business hours. HealthLynked's new search functionality and
enhanced features help HealthLynked members find the right
providers that best suit their individual health needs.
The new search functionality on the HealthLynked platform includes
the following key features:
-
A refined provider search
algorithm that
efficiently locates the right healthcare providers. With the
integration of new filters by date and time, users can now select
their preferred appointment date and time ahead of their search,
facilitating faster and more convenient appointment
booking.
This new functionality provides
HealthLynked members with 24 / 7 access for making
appointments.
-
The update also introduces a
new geolocation-driven distance
filter, enabling users
to refine their search based on proximity and find doctors and
practices closer to their current location.
-
Provider
ratings are now a part
of the search criteria, allowing patients to narrow their results
by selecting doctors based on their provider rating scores. This
feature is aimed at helping patients make more informed decisions
when choosing healthcare providers. This feature is especially useful and
important for HealthLynked members, since almost 75% of patients
rely on reviews as the first step in finding a doctor, according to
a survey in the Journal of Marketing.
-
With improved filtering
options, users can
effortlessly switch their search between doctors or practices
without needing to navigate to another page, thereby reducing
navigation time and boosting search speed.
Michael Dent, M.D., CEO of HealthLynked, commented on the update, saying, "The
new search functionality is a game-changer in our mission to
personalize healthcare. By making it easier for patients to find
the right providers, book appointments swiftly, and access
essential information, we are not just enhancing user experience
but also significantly contributing to better healthcare
outcomes."
Chris Hall, CTO of HealthLynked, added, "This update reflects our
commitment to leveraging technology for healthcare improvement. The
advanced features and user-friendly design of our platform are
aimed at meeting the evolving needs of patients and providers,
