athenaPatient is a mobile application designed to provide easy access to health information and communication with your care team from anywhere at any time. With this app, users can log in quickly and securely through modern authentication methods such as facial recognition and touch ID. This ensures that personal health data remains safe while also making the login process more convenient.
The app allows users to view their test results promptly after they become available, including lab and imaging tests. Additionally, it facilitates secure messaging between patients and their care teams, empowering users to reach out with any questions they might have. One of the standout features is the ability to self-schedule appointments with healthcare providers and view upcoming visits outside the usual office hours, provided that the healthcare providers support this feature.
Another useful function of athenaPatient is the pre-appointment check-in, which enables users to complete necessary documentation ahead of their visit, saving time at the office. Additionally, the app supports virtual visits, allowing patients to initiate telehealth appointments with their care providers if this service is available through athenaTelehealth. The app also provides driving directions to appointments, ensuring users can easily navigate to their next medical visit.
To use athenaPatient, individuals must already have an account with the athenahealth Patient Portal. After downloading the app, users will log in with their existing credentials and are prompted to enable Face ID or Touch ID for easier access in the future. For those without Patient Portal information, it is suggested to check online or contact their healthcare provider's office for assistance in gaining access, as the app is exclusive to patients within the athenahealth network in the United States.
