Digital health is where technology meets health care. Personal devices — smart watches, mobile phones, tablets, computers — provide patients with more connections to their providers and additional channels to monitor their health and medications. 

Technology provides avenues to improve health system processes through enhanced collaboration, data analysis and virtual monitoring — making health care simpler, safer and more efficient whenever possible. 

Improving Care Through Innovation

Inception Health is the hub for the Froedtert & MCW health network’s digital health services. The team of project managers and clinical professionals facilitate innovation by working effectively within the walls of an academic medical center, as well as collaborating with technology companies from outside our enterprise.

The Froedtert & MCW health network created Inception Health to drive innovation and successfully collaborate with companies to solve key health care problems, develop new ideas, and scale those solutions across the health network.

Froedtert Finder

The Froedtert & MCW Finder app helps you find your way around Froedtert Hospital by providing turn-by-turn directions, detailed indoor maps and location-based services — including a parking planner feature to help you park in the structure closest to your appointment and a car location saver.

Video Visits

If you are an established primary care patient, you can meet face to face with your primary care provider via MyChart on your mobile phone, tablet or desktop. It's the same trusted care you receive in our office, but from the comfort of wherever you are.

Virtual Clinic

Visit our Virtual Clinic and receive care for minor illnesses and common conditions via webcam. No appointment needed. Speak face-to-face with a Froedtert & MCW board-certified health care provider who can prescribe medication or refer you for in-person care.

Digital Care Monitoring

Digital Care Monitoring is a remote service you can enroll in, if eligible, to help monitor your blood pressure. Using technology you are already familiar with, such as phone calls or text messages, you can stay connected with us between regular appointments and avoid potentially dangerous complications.

Glooko

Glooko®, a remote diabetes monitoring app, provides reminders to check your blood glucose and take insulin or other medications. It also tracks your blood glucose levels, medication dosage, meals and exercise to determine patterns and triggers that have an impact on your health.

Babyscripts myJourney Prenatal Care

The Babyscripts™ myJourney mobile app and remote monitoring modules keep you in touch with your care team throughout your pregnancy and after your baby arrives. As you log information, your provider watches for conditions or changes that might need more attention and, when needed, adjusts your care and office visit schedule. 

SilverCloud

Your doctor can prescribe SilverCloud, an online program, as part of your treatment plan. SilverCloud is based on more than 12 years of research to help people improve how they think, feel and respond to distress. Ask your provider if SilverCloud would be appropriate for you.
