antovia provides targeted patient education, and
resources that promote shared decision-making, and
better outcomes. Santovia is happy to announce its
new partnership with EBSCO Health and the new
integrated Option Grid solution for providers. The Option
Grids are build on years of evidence-based research to
guide people through life’s major health decisions
Its surveys are used by healthcare providers to improve
patient satisfaction through rapid feedback. Santovia also
supports patient reported outcomes by measuring recovery
and keeping track of how patients are progressing.
The need for better patient engagement has never been
higher, and with more people than ever using technology,
the fundamentals are falling into place for Santovia.
“It’s often those who least have access to technology that
need the information most.” This insight is an important
driver in the development of Santovia. Headquartered in
Boston MA, Santovia was launched in 2016. Santovia is
optimized for all platforms: mobile, tablets, desktops and
even paper for those that want it.
The inspiration behind Santovia was its recognition that
patients need better education and everyone in the system
needs to communicate more effectively. For Santovia, this
means high-quality educational materials tailored
specifically for each individual patient. It aims to consign
poor-quality photocopies with obscure diagrams and
difficult jargon to the trash heap. Instead, Santovia provides:
