Identifying unmet needs
We engaged the executive leadership team at Select Medical in a touch points workshop to identify what an exceptional caregiver experience would be across their 140 hospitals. Based on the needs identified in the workshop, product concepts were created and validated with target customers.
Creating an exceptional experience
Chet is an exclusive online community used to keep close family and friends updated about the progress of their loved ones. Chet provides community, recovery guides, home help support, caregiver resources, and patient success stories.
Building for impact
We managed and oversaw the platform's development in a hybrid team structure to ensure the product team had the right expertise to launch the product successfully.
Piloting for scale
The pilot has successfully onboarded multiple hospitals and is working toward national adoption across 140 hospitals.
