Chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease affect over 133M Americans, driving more than $780B in annual spending. Clinicians face fragmented data, documentation overload, and delayed insights — challenges that reduce efficiency and obstruct timely intervention.

The global caregiving crisis is accelerating as longer lifespans, rising chronic illness, and a shrinking caregiver workforce converge. Older adults are particularly vulnerable to unsafe medication practices: nearly half take five or more medications, and up to one-quarter of hospitalizations are associated with adverse drug events.
Fragmented support remains a core barrier to behavioral health recovery. During treatment, patients face limited coverage during
nights and weekends, when risk of early discharge spikes. After discharge, continuity of care is weak, increasing the likelihood of
relapse. Limited digital integration further reduces accessibility and continuity of care.
HITLAB is excited to announce that Wayne Cafran has joined its Women’s Health Tech Initiative (WHTI) Board of Directors at HITLAB — a key addition that significantly strengthens WHTI’s ability to support women’s health innovations in scaling, maturing, and achieving lasting market impact.
This whitepaper presents HITLAB's heuristic evaluation of the PreventCare patient mobile application and provider platform wireframes, designed to enable continuous, preventive, and data-driven care beyond traditional clinical settings. PreventCare supports automated remote monitoring, longitudinal health data visibility, and proactive clinical engagement to strengthen patient-provider connectivity and improve care efficiency.
