A compass is a device used for navigation.
Hoag Compass, a mobile application and physical location at the Hoag On-Demand Care & Innovation Center in Newport Beach, seeks to help patients navigate their health.
The program was started in 2022 and a revamped version was rolled out in May, said Thomas Katavic, Hoag head of product and design.
He said the first version of the offering, dubbed “Compass 1.0” internally, was too much of a choose-your-own-adventure setup for patients, where they had to determine what they wanted out of it.
“For this new version of the product, we said that it needs to be a lot more packaged, so it’s almost like an off-the-shelf good,” Katavic said. “You know exactly what you’re getting and when.”
