Selecting digital health software now involves far more than choosing a telehealth tool or patient portal. Clinics and hospitals must connect outreach, assessments, patient-reported data, physiological readings, care-plan follow-through, provider review, documentation, and the operational work that keeps a program running.
Some products provide virtual-care infrastructure. Others focus on access, hospital operations, clinical documentation, interoperability, or one defined step in a patient journey. A provider organization may use several of these categories as part of a single preventive-care program.
HootMD assembled this 2026 shortlist of 30 platforms for clinics, hospitals, health systems, clinical teams, and care programs. The ordering reflects a practical editorial question: how well can the product support organized, longitudinal, and preventive care for provider organizations?
What we mean by a digital health platform for providers
For this guide, a digital health platform is software that helps a provider organization extend, coordinate, document, or operate care beyond a single in-person encounter. It may support one or more of the following:
- preventive-service outreach, intake, screening, and care-gap follow-up;
- Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM), Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), or patient-reported data collection;
- Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs);
- patient communication, scheduling, referral management, and navigation;
- connected devices, health apps, data exchange, and EHR workflows;
- clinical or operational work queues, hospital flow, and care coordination; or
- documentation, capacity, and revenue-cycle processes that free clinical teams to run better care programs.
Preventive care is broader than a reminder text or a single screening campaign. CMS describes it as care intended to prevent illness or disease, or limit the impact of chronic disease, including screenings, check-ups, counseling, and related services.
In clinic, a useful digital platform helps a care organization make that work repeatable: identify the right patients, collect usable signals, support adherence, route concerns to the appropriate provider or team, and measure whether the program is working.
How we ranked the platforms
We evaluated the platforms against six provider-side criteria:
- Preventive and longitudinal care value : Does it help teams move beyond a one-time encounter?
- Workflow fit : Can clinical, operational, and patient-facing teams realistically use it?
- Data and interoperability : How clearly does it support EHR, device, app, or care-workflow connectivity?
- Buyer relevance : Is it built for clinics, provider groups, hospitals, or health systems?
- Configurability and scale : Can it support a service line, specialty, or enterprise program rather than one narrow task?
- Evaluation transparency : Does the vendor provide enough public detail for a serious buyer to ask informed questions?
The ordering is an editorial judgment rather than a universal scorecard. A hospital may prioritize an operations platform, while a specialty clinic may prioritize remote-care software. Each entry explains why the platform appears in the ranking and ends with a question worth asking during evaluation.

The 30 preventative and remote care platforms, reviewed
1. Actuvi : Our pick for clinics building remote, preventative, and longitudinal care
Best for: Multi-site clinics, specialty groups, provider organizations, and health systems that want to keep care moving after the visit while retaining the patient relationship inside their own ecosystem.
Actuvi earns the top spot because it gives clinics a practical way to keep up with people between appointments. A care program does not become preventative simply because it sends reminders. It becomes preventative when a clinic can collect the right information, notice change early, and give the right team a clear next step before a patient drifts away from care.
The platform brings together configurable assessments, patient messaging, PROMs and PREMs, care-plan activity, and clinical dashboards. A clinic can use those pieces, along with interoperable data connections, to run remote care around the conditions and service lines it already owns. Patients remain connected to the clinic rather than being sent into a separate digital program with a separate identity and relationship.
The more consistently a patient participates, the more useful the record becomes. Repeated symptoms, functional measures, responses to care-plan activities, and patient experience signals can create a longitudinal baseline for that individual. Clinics can then view change against a patient’s own history, while leaders can look across the patient population for gaps, incomplete activities, and groups that may need earlier attention.
Actuvi also supports care-plan work for Advanced Primary Care Management (APCM) programs. Clinics can actively create and maintain patient-centered care plans, pair them with configurable activities and assessments, and follow progress through the same clinical workflow. When a patient submission meets an organization-defined threshold, Actuvi’s enterprise workflow can sort it for provider or care-team review. Clinical judgment and any clinical response remain with the clinic.
No platform in this review combines configurable remote and preventative-care programs, longitudinal patient baselines, patient-population visibility, PROMs/PREMs, custom assessments, care-plan activity, patient messaging, clinical-threshold sorting, and provider-review alerts in the same clinic-owned environment.
2. Innovaccer : Best for data-driven value-based care
Best for: Health systems, clinically integrated networks, and organizations that need unified data
Innovaccer is most relevant when the barrier to preventive care is fragmented information. Its platform is positioned around unifying and activating health data for population-health, care-management, and value-based-care use cases.

It is a strong option for organizations that already have clinical systems in place but need a more usable view of risk, care gaps, and operational intelligence.
3. Teladoc Health : Best for enterprise connected care
Best for: Hospitals and health systems that need virtual care and connected-care capability across a broad patient journey.
Teladoc Health offers hospital-focused technology and connected-care solutions that extend from virtual visits to broader connected-care programs. It is a logical candidate for systems looking to standardize virtual access at enterprise scale.
It has meaningful scale and a broad enterprise orientation, which can matter more than a specialty feature set for large health systems.
4. Amwell : Best for virtual-care infrastructure
Best for: Provider organizations looking to support synchronous and asynchronous virtual care within an EHR-connected environment.
Amwell positions its platform as a single SaaS environment for synchronous and asynchronous care programs. For an organization that sees virtual care as a core delivery channel rather than an add-on, that infrastructure can be useful.
The platform’s focus on virtual visits and EHR integration makes it relevant to health systems building standardized remote access pathways.
5. Xealth : Best for EHR-embedded digital health
Best for: Health systems that already use multiple digital tools but want clinicians to access and prescribe them through existing workflows.
Xealth focuses on embedding digital-care tools inside the clinical workflow. Its SMART on FHIR approach and rules-engine positioning are particularly relevant to organizations trying to avoid a fragmented digital-health catalog.
It can help turn a collection of separate digital solutions into something care teams can access within the EHR context.
6. Commure : Best for hospital patient-navigation workflows
Best for: Hospitals and health systems automating scheduling, referrals, patient preparation, and post-discharge communication.
Commure is relevant for teams seeking to improve the operational handoffs around care. Its public materials emphasize patient communications and workflow logic for activities such as referral outreach, scheduling, preparation, and follow-up.
Preventive care often fails in the operational gaps between a referral, a scheduled service, a completed assessment, and a follow-up action. Navigation platforms can support those handoffs.
7. WellSky : Best for care transitions across settings
Best for: Hospitals, home-health organizations, post-acute providers, and care-transition leaders.
WellSky is built around a full-continuum view of care, with particular relevance to post-acute and transitional workflows. That makes it a strong consideration for organizations where preventing avoidable deterioration depends on information moving between inpatient, home, community, and specialty settings.
Care continuity is a preventive-care capability. Systems that cannot coordinate after discharge may struggle to make even strong inpatient interventions stick.
8. Awell : Best for care-pathway orchestration with clinical governance
Best for: Digital-health and provider organizations that want to design and operate their own clinical workflows without outsourcing clinical decision authority to the platform.
Awell positions itself as a CareOps workflow-orchestration platform. Its distinctive stance is that the provider organization owns and governs the clinical content, workflows, and rules, while the platform helps operationalize those pathways through tools such as worklists and automated workflow elements.
This makes it useful for organizations that need configurable, governed care pathways rather than a rigid prebuilt program.
9. Get Well : Best for hospital patient experience and journey management
Best for: Hospitals and health systems improving patient engagement during inpatient stays and along defined care journeys.
Get Well offers digital patient-experience tools including SmartRoom and Hospital Journey Manager workflows. The company also describes a broad partner and EHR integration footprint.
Patient education, readiness, communication, and navigation can shape whether a care plan works once a patient leaves the exam room or hospital bed.
10. Twistle by Health Catalyst : Best for episode-based patient outreach
Best for: Care teams that need automated communication before, during, and after a care episode.
Twistle by Health Catalyst is designed to integrate outreach and patient responses with existing EHR or CRM workflows. Its public materials also describe connected-device support.

11. CipherHealth : Best for care transitions and clinical-program outreach
Best for: Nursing leaders, care-transition teams, and organizations with standardized outreach programs.
CipherHealth focuses on clinical programming, rounding, and communication workflows informed by established clinical pathways. It is particularly relevant where a team needs consistent outreach at scale after discharge or during an ongoing care program.
Structured, timely follow-up can make preventive and transitional-care work more reliable when programs are clearly defined.
12. Artera : Best for patient communications at health-system scale
Best for: Health systems and multi-location specialty clinics that need more organized patient communication across contact-center and care-access workflows.
Artera focuses on patient communications and AI-enabled workflow deployment. Its public materials emphasize tailored workflow support and state that identifiable patient information is not used to train its models.
Patient access and communication are foundational to preventive care; a care gap is not closed if a patient never receives, understands, or completes the next step.
13. Health Gorilla : Best for clinical data exchange
Best for: EHRs, digital-health companies, laboratories, payviders, and value-based-care organizations that need a more usable clinical-data foundation.
Health Gorilla is an interoperability and data-exchange platform. It describes itself as a dual-designated QHIN and QHIO and focuses on reconciling data into a master clinical record.
Preventive care depends on knowing what has already happened: which screenings were completed, which results are available, which referrals were closed, and which risks need attention.
14. Phreesia : Best for intake and patient-access operations
Best for: clinics, specialty groups, and health systems that need to make intake, scheduling, payments, recalls, and routine patient communications more efficient.
Phreesia has a strong patient-access and front-office orientation. Its VoiceAI positioning includes inbound and outbound workflows such as scheduling, payments, refills, recalls, and collections.
Better intake and recall workflows can support preventive-care delivery by making it easier to identify patients, collect information, and reduce avoidable operational friction.
15. athenahealth : Best for ambulatory organizations that want one cloud platform
Best for: Physician clinics, specialty clinics, community health centers, and urgent-care groups seeking EHR, clinic-management, and operational capabilities in one environment.
athenahealth positions athenaOne as a cloud platform combining clinical and administrative functions, including charting, scheduling, billing, reporting, and clinic operations.
A strong core operating platform can be the base for consistent preventive workflows:especially when a clinic needs one system for care delivery and administration.
16. Oracle Health : Best for enterprise health IT breadth
Best for: Large hospitals and health systems that need clinical, financial, consumer, payer, and population-health capabilities within a broad enterprise health-IT environment.
Oracle Health has a wide enterprise footprint spanning healthcare applications, cloud infrastructure, data, and AI-related capabilities.
Large provider organizations may prioritize a durable enterprise platform that can support core clinical and financial systems across many service lines.
17. Netsmart : Best for community-based and behavioral care
Best for: Behavioral-health, human-services, home-health, hospice, senior-living, and community-based organizations.
Netsmart positions CareFabric around EHR, care coordination, telehealth, analytics, billing, and e-prescribing capabilities tailored to community-based and post-acute providers.
Preventive and longitudinal care often depends on organizations outside an acute hospital. Platforms designed for behavioral and community care can be especially relevant to those operating realities.
18. CareCloud : Best for integrated clinic operations
Best for: Physician clinics seeking a connected combination of EHR, revenue-cycle, clinic-management, patient-experience, and digital-health capabilities.
CareCloud presents an all-in-one clinic platform that spans clinical systems, revenue cycle, clinic management, patient experience, and digital health. Its public materials also describe AI-supported front-desk and scheduling workflows.
A clinic that cannot keep access, scheduling, billing, clinical documentation, and patient follow-up organized will struggle to scale preventive programs.
19. NexHealth : Best for connected patient access
Best for: Medical and dental clinics that want modern scheduling, forms, messaging, payments, insurance verification, and record connectivity.
NexHealth focuses on the patient-access layer and real-time synchronization with clinic health-record systems.
A high-performing preventive-care program needs frictionless scheduling, forms, and communication. NexHealth is a credible access-layer option for clinics where those workflows are the immediate bottleneck.
20. Wheel : Best for branded virtual-care launches
Best for: Digital-health, life-sciences, retail, pharmacy, and provider organizations launching branded virtual-care services.
Wheel offers a virtual-care platform supported by a 50-state clinician network and ready-to-deploy care protocols.
It can shorten the path for organizations that need virtual-care infrastructure and clinical coverage as part of a broader service launch.
21. Qventus : Best for hospital operational automation
Best for: Hospital leaders focused on surgical services, pre-admission testing, inpatient flow, and capacity-related operations.
Qventus positions AI Operational Assistants as tools that take action on defined, below-license operational tasks rather than simply presenting static recommendations.
Preventive and proactive care depend on operational capacity. A hospital that cannot move patients, schedule needed services, or coordinate pre-admission work may undermine otherwise well-designed care programs.
22. LeanTaaS : Best for capacity and access optimization
Best for: Hospital and health-system teams optimizing OR utilization, infusion operations, inpatient beds, and other constrained capacity.
LeanTaaS focuses on capacity-management software and implementation support for high-demand hospital resources.
Preventive care still needs available capacity. Better scheduling and resource use can help an organization deliver assessments, infusions, consultations, and follow-up services without avoidable delay.
23. Abridge : Best for ambient documentation at enterprise scale
Best for: Health systems and clinician groups looking to reduce documentation burden and improve structured EHR note creation.
Abridge provides ambient clinical documentation and EHR workflow support. Its Contextual Reasoning Engine is positioned around real-time clinical reasoning support and structured note drafting using clinician-built rubrics.
Clinician time is a hidden constraint in preventive care. Documentation tools can make care teams more able to act on patient needs, provided they are implemented safely.
24. Nabla : Best for flexible clinician documentation support
Best for: Providers and medical institutions seeking ambient documentation, dictation, coding, and workflow support.
Nabla converts clinician-patient conversations into structured documentation and offers additional dictation and coding capabilities.
It addresses a core operational barrier: clinical teams need time to perform follow-up and preventive work, not just complete administrative tasks.
25. Suki : Best for voice-led clinical workflow support
Best for: Clinicians and health systems seeking ambient assistance, voice editing, problem-based charting, and supported EHR integrations.
Suki positions its assistant around conversation capture, voice-based editing, and charting workflows, with published integration information for systems including Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, and MEDITECH.
It is another credible option for organizations approaching preventive care through clinician capacity and documentation improvement.
26. Eko Health : Best for digital cardiopulmonary assessment workflows
Best for: Health systems, clinicians, home-health providers, and life-sciences organizations looking to expand digital assessment workflows involving heart and lung examination.
Eko Health combines digital stethoscope technology, enterprise workflow tools, and FDA-cleared AI features for specified auscultation use cases. This makes it a relevant specialist entry where a service line needs an assessment tool, a specialist assessment product rather than a broad clinic-management platform.
It illustrates an important category in digital health: focused clinical assessment technology that can extend what a care team can capture and review.
27. PerfectServe : Best for clinical communication and intelligent routing
Best for: Hospitals, health systems, clinics, and ambulatory settings that need more reliable routing of alerts, consults, critical results, and care-team communications.
PerfectServe uses role, schedule, and escalation information to route clinical communication to the appropriate on-call clinician.
A preventive-care program is only useful if an important patient signal, request, or result reaches a responsible person. Communication infrastructure can close that operational gap.
28. TigerConnect : Best for role-based clinical coordination
Best for: Health systems coordinating clinical workflow, alerting, and care-team communication across departments.
TigerConnect offers CareConduit for ingesting EHR and clinical-device signals into role-based work coordination, alongside clinical communication capabilities.
Its role is complementary to preventive-care tools: ensuring that work triggered by a patient signal is visible, assigned, and trackable within care-team operations.
29. Pulsara : Best for time-sensitive cross-organization coordination
Best for: Hospital networks, EMS, emergency-management teams, and public-health organizations coordinating complex, time-sensitive patient events.
Pulsara provides a centralized, time-stamped patient channel that can dynamically connect teams across organizations.
Although focused on acute and urgent coordination rather than chronic monitoring, it is an example of how digital communication can organize multi-party care during moments where speed and accountability matter.
30. Redox : Best for integration infrastructure evaluation
Best for: Digital-health companies and provider organizations that need to connect clinical systems and data sources.
Redox is widely evaluated as an interoperability and integration layer. It earns a place in this list because preventive-care programs can fail when the chosen patient-facing platform, EHR, scheduling system, lab feed, and care-management workflow do not reliably exchange information.
It represents the infrastructure category that often sits behind a usable digital-care experience.
A preventive-care workflow checklist for buyers
Before shortlisting a vendor, map the workflow on one page:
- Identify: How are eligible patients, care gaps, risks, or program candidates identified?
- Engage: How do patients receive invitations, reminders, education, and accessible options to participate?
- Assess: Which physiological readings, patient-reported symptoms, PROMs/PREMs, screening responses, or other data will be collected?
- Review: What is sorted automatically, what requires provider or care-team review, and who owns the next action?
- Act and document: Where is care-plan follow-up documented, and how are clinical, operational, and patient communications connected?
- Measure: Which patient, process, equity, staff-workload, and financial measures will define success?
A strong platform supports this workflow. A strong implementation makes the responsibilities unmistakable.
Questions to ask every digital health vendor
Clinical and program leadership
- Which care models and service lines are deployed today, rather than merely configurable?
- Can our clinicians define patient cohorts, assessments, care pathways, and review thresholds?
- How does the platform support provider review without implying autonomous clinical action?
- What evidence supports the product’s use in our population and setting?
IT, privacy, and security
- Which systems are integrated today, and what integration method is used?
- What data is exchanged, at what frequency, in which direction, and with what error-handling process?
- What is the scope of the vendor’s privacy, security, and compliance commitments?
- Which AI features use patient information, and what governance, model-training, audit, and oversight clinics apply?
Operations and revenue cycle
- Which staff roles will handle enrollment, outreach, exceptions, review queues, documentation, and follow-up?
- How does the platform prevent message overload, duplicate work, or unowned alerts?
- What implementation, configuration, and change-management effort is required?
- If digital-care billing is relevant, what reporting can the system provide, and what must our compliance and revenue-cycle teams validate independently?
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a digital health platform and an EHR?
An EHR is primarily a clinical system of record. A digital health platform may complement the EHR by supporting remote care, patient engagement, virtual care, connected devices, assessments, population-health workflows, clinical communication, or operational automation. Some large vendors offer both; others solve a focused layer around the EHR.
What is the difference between RPM and RTM?
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) typically focuses on physiological data such as blood pressure, heart rate, weight, or activity captured from connected devices or apps. Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) can capture therapy adherence, treatment response, symptoms, and other therapeutic or patient-reported context. They can be complementary, but organizations should validate device requirements, clinical workflow, coding, payer policy, and documentation rules for their own programs.
Are PROMs and PREMs part of preventive care?
They can be. PROMs can help organizations understand patient-reported symptoms, function, well-being, and treatment response. PREMs can help evaluate communication, coordination, and the patient’s experience of care. Their value depends on whether the organization has a defined process for reviewing results and using them to improve care.
Can AI agents replace care teams?
No. AI-enabled communication or workflow tools can support outreach, intake, information capture, documentation, and operational coordination. They should not be presented as a replacement for provider judgment, clinical governance, or accountable follow-up.
Does HIPAA compliance guarantee a platform will fit our workflow?
No. Privacy and security posture are essential, but they are only one procurement criterion. A platform should also be assessed for integration architecture, clinical governance, usability, implementation demands, support, accessibility, reporting, and the accountability model for patient follow-up.
Applying the shortlist
A useful digital health purchase begins with a defined workflow: outreach, assessment, provider or care-team review, follow-up, documentation, and measurement. The platform should fit the people, systems, and governance model responsible for that workflow.
Actuvi is ranked first in this editorial shortlist for organizations seeking configurable programs that combine RTM, RPM, PROMs/PREMs, patient engagement, assessments, existing-device data, clinic-defined threshold alerts for provider review, and operational reporting. Buyers with a focused requirement in data exchange, patient access, care transitions, clinical communication, capacity, or documentation can begin their evaluation with the relevant category in the list.
A workflow review should involve clinical, operations, IT and security, revenue-cycle, and patient-experience stakeholders. The group should agree on the specific process it intends to improve before comparing demonstrations and implementation plans.
Editorial source note
