Abstract

The Covid- 19 Pandemic has given a boost to telemedicine. To curb the spread of infection, E-consultation apps have emerged through public, private and third-party players. This study aims to find the Voice of Customer (VOC) in Tele-medicine apps and translate them into attributes offered by E-health portals. The study uses House of Quality model to list down the patients’ requirements and rank them according to their importance which is obtained through a feedback survey of 300 online consultation’s patients during the pandemic period. The technical requirements of the e-health portal are obtained through discussion with 30 healthcare providers and app developers and the relationship is shown through HOQ model. This QFD model would help E-health sector to modify their product offerings according to customer requirements and enhance patients’ satisfaction index. The academicians can use the model for referencing of QFD in health care sector
