Description

The Orca Health app is a patient education tool that helps providers in many different specialties simplify complex medical concepts to improve the knowledge, comprehension, and retention of patients. The app is free to download for sample content with additional content available via in-app purchase. After the 3 day free trial period, monthly and yearly subscriptions vary by content.

Overview

The Orca Health app features a growing library of animated 3D videos and images. The app also includes a feature called waiting room mode where patients can learn about the conditions in doctors’ waiting rooms, which helps alleviate the main complaint that patients have – customer service.

“You can browse throughout the app to learn more about conditions and treatment options you may be interested in.“

Library

The growing library includes many animated 3D videos and images depicting common medical conditions and treatments, sample exercise and postoperative care videos, fully interactive 3D anatomical models, and augmented reality simulations.

Waiting Room

The waiting room mode feature is designed to educate patients on iPads in your doctor’s waiting room. Waiting rooms are often the pivotal places where healthcare begins, where patients decide whether or not they’ve received high quality care. You can browse throughout the app to learn more about conditions and treatment options you may be interested in. This results in more productive consultations with your provider and reduced anxiety while you wait.
