Forward Brings Your Entire Medical History onto an Interactive Screen
Forward is a technologically advanced doctor's office that specializes in preventative care as opposed to reactive. Alyssa Julya Smith took a tour of Forward's space in Los Angeles with flounder and CEO Adrian Aoun to learn exactly what goes into this forward-thinking space.
Aoun explains that the new space includes exam rooms that are each equipped with interactive, personalized displays. These displays are part of a system created to replace standard hospital paperwork.
He shows exactly what happens when a patient walks through the doors, starting with Forward’s original body scanner, designed to rapidly gather vital signs like body temperature, pulse oximetry, and arterial health in less than a minute.
Results are sent directly to the doctor in real time and patients will then spend time with their doctor reviewing these results on the interactive displays. Aoun explains that the screen intuitively captures and structures the important part of the patient-doctor conversation in real time using AI voice recognition technology to help build a comprehensive health plan for the patient that can then be monitored through apps after they leave the office and go back to their daily life.
