How TheThs Uses Data to Build Better Healthcare Experiences for Patients

In healthcare, information is one of the most powerful tools for improving outcomes, enhancing accessibility, and building products that truly meet patient needs. At TheThs, we believe the smart use of data can transform the way patients discover care, choose providers, and receive support throughout their health journey.

This article explores how TheThs harnesses data — ethically and securely — to create better experiences for users across India, whether they are seeking a dermatologist, orthopaedic surgeon, mental health specialist, or the nearest diagnostic centre.

Why Data Matters in Today’s Healthcare Landscape

Healthcare decisions are among the most personal and important choices a person makes. Yet patients often face too much information and not enough clarity:

Too many doctor profiles with little insight into real patient experiences

Confusing clinic listings without reliable ratings

Difficulty selecting the right specialist for a condition

Uncertainty about treatment options and quality of care

TheThs recognises that better data leads to better decisions — and better outcomes for patients.

Using Data to Understand Patient Needs

One of the key ways TheThs improves its services is by understanding what patients are actually searching for:

Symptoms and condition queries (for example, “knee pain,” “skin rash,” “stress and anxiety”)

Geographic preferences (city or Pin Code based searches)

Preferred consultation mode (in-person vs online)

Urgency and appointment timing

By analysing search patterns, TheThs can prioritise the most relevant physicians and services in search results — such as Cardiologists, ENT specialists, Gastroenterologists, Gynaecologists, Internal Medicine doctors and more — ensuring what patients see matches what they need.

Improving Provider Matchmaking With Smart Data Signals

Not all healthcare searches are the same. Someone with back pain needs a different specialist than someone looking for annual wellness tests.

TheThs uses data points such as:

Provider specialisation and sub-specialisation

Years of experience and clinic affiliations

Patient ratings and feedback trends

Response time and appointment availability

Teleconsult options and patient reviews

These insights help build a smart provider matching algorithm that suggests the most suitable doctors or clinics based on the patient’s condition and preference.

For example:

A user looking for chronic knee pain relief might be shown Orthopaedic surgeons, Sports Medicine doctors, and Physiotherapists first.

Someone interested in mental health support might be guided toward Psychiatrists or Clinical Psychologists.

This makes the search efficient, accurate, and personalised.

Enhancing Transparency With Real Patient Feedback

Patient feedback is one of the richest sources of real-life insights. TheThs collects and organises feedback so that future users can make informed decisions.

Data from reviews helps:

Highlight communication strengths or areas needing attention

Reveal how friendly and professional staff interactions are

Show how satisfied patients were with diagnosis and treatment outcomes

Illustrate punctuality and administrative ease

With transparent data on provider ratings, users no longer have to rely on guesswork when selecting a hospital, clinic or specialist.

Optimising Care Journeys With Behavioural Data

TheThs also uses anonymised behavioural data — such as how users interact with the platform — to improve product features:

Which filters lead to successful appointment bookings

Where users pause or drop off during searches

Common questions or missing information that users seek

This helps TheThs continuously improve user experience, whether it’s by updating educational articles, refining search filters, or speeding up appointment scheduling.

Securing Data With Strong Privacy Standards

Patient trust is fundamental. TheThs implements robust privacy and security practices to ensure that personal information is protected at every stage. Data is used only in ways that help users find care faster and more accurately — never shared without consent.

At its core, patient care begins with understanding patients. TheThs uses data not as a buzzword, but as a tool to:

Simplify complex healthcare decisions
