6 Product Trends in Digital Health that will Affect 2025
One of the reasons why we created Nozomi was because we wanted to make things easier for people. Easier to get treatment, easier to manage chronic conditions, and easier to monitor their current state. We understand that even the smallest issue still requires effort from a person. But what does it take to minimize that effort? Making the product highly adaptive: this involves conducting customer development/user tests, utilizing global UX practices, and refining onboarding. However, these are the basics that everyone knows. In this article, we'll go further and touch on new product trends, so that in addition to the usual foundation of a digital health product, it gains distinctiveness in the market (meaning competitiveness).
