Marketing fundamentals bring Agile Health to life

May 19, 2010 by Andres Rosello · View Comments 

We think Marketing fundamentals ­– relevance of offering, message clarity, consistency of experience, and driving of engagement – can help just about any business. We’re seeing it again with the launch of a primary care medical practice in New York City.

Two doctors and a nurse practitioner founded Agile Health Partners using new, modern-day technologies (supported by the Hello Health Internet platform) to build strong, old-fashioned patient relationships. This access to great care resonated with patients and drove our strategy.

The Agile Health brand identity, storefront signage, web site functionality, and content strategy were all orchestrated in less than two months. Web site integration with the platform for easy access, relevant, and timely medical content delivered via RSS, email, and social networks, and clean simple designs are just a few examples of how we brought this strategy to life.

We are all very proud of the work and excited to see real patient-doctor relationships flourish again.

Holland-Mark Client Hello Health on Current TV

GREAT review of Hello Health in Current TV! highlight…

“Health care options are all over the place, depending on where you work, what your company’s plan is, how much you spend, etc. But it was only a matter of time before someone came up with another solution for folks who want to harness the power of the web for more flexibility. Hello Health may still be a small service, but it’s an interesting look into the possible future of health care.”

Hello Health versus Health Care Reform

October 30, 2009 by Chris Colbert · View Comments 

David Gianatasio of Adweek asked me today why Holland-Mark’s winning the Hello Health account was so important (other than getting a new piece of business).

I responded by saying that it put us at the epicenter of one of the most important and complex challenges of our time, and at the wheel of a brand and technology that really has the ability to make a tangible difference in the lives of primary care doctors and all of us who need them. In contrast to the obtuse, conflicting, and partisan-driven proposals around health care reform, I can actually see how the Hello Health platform will work to enable a better quality of care at a lower cost. It will significantly reduce paperwork, increase doctor access by patients, eliminate the chasing of insurer payments (which currently takes up to 40% of a primary care practice’s time), and fundamentally free the doctors to do what they do best: care for their patients. It is perhaps most revolutionary in its focus and simplicity, which underscores Holland-Mark’s core belief that if human beings can’t easily understand something, how can they engage with and derive value from it?

Holland-Mark to Launch Hello Health

Primary Care Practice Model to Revolutionize Industry

Boston, MA (October, 2009) — Holland-Mark has been selected by Myca Health of Canada to launch Hello Health, a revolutionary new primary care practice model in the United States. Hello Health is a primary care application of Myca’s proprietary MycaHub™ technology, a fully integrated, highly customizable Web-based platform that simplifies and streamlines the engagement between health care providers and patients.

“Given the fervor about health care reform, and the crying need among primary care doctors and their patients for a better model, the timing of the Hello Health launch couldn’t be more significant,” said Chris Colbert, Holland-Mark’s CEO. “Hello Health combines a direct-pay model with innovative applications and communication tools that enhance relationships with patients and liberate doctors from piles of paperwork and systemic bureaucracy, giving them the time to do what they do best—care for their patients.”

The Hello Health market launch is slated for early January 2010 and will include a full mix of offline and online media to reach both primary care doctors and their patients. “We selected Holland-Mark because we needed a marketing partner that could be a sound strategic guide on how best to navigate the ever-changing U.S. health care landscape while also delivering a campaign that will both educate and engage doctors and consumers about the freedom that our platform offers,” said Nat Findlay, the CEO of Myca Health.

Using MycaHub technology, a Hello Health empowered practice integrates an electronic medical record, a comprehensive administrative system with integral scheduling and diagnostic tools, and the ability for doctors to communicate with their patients and each other through multiple channels, from email and instant messaging to video. Hello Health primary care doctors will have access to a nationwide Hello Health practitioner community, offline and online training via Hello Health University, and the potential to tap into the Start! Fund, Myca’s innovative interest-free financing resource for start-up practices or those transitioning to the Hello Health business model.
