Overview

Patient Engagement & Experience covers patient-engagement platforms, financial-counseling services, and patient-experience consultancies serving healthcare providers. It spans patient intake and scheduling, communications, digital front-door tools, and financial engagement (Phreesia, Luma Health, and others).

Demand is driven by consumerization of healthcare, the digital front door, and the need to improve access, satisfaction, and collections. It is a growing, software-led category consolidating as platforms broaden across the patient journey.
