== Healthcare platform ==
The crux of Luma's platform is enhanced communication between [[Doctor–patient relationship|patient and doctor]], and facilitating [[patient compliance]] in both medication and office visits through reminders, both via [[text messaging]].<ref name=":5" />  The platform began as software aimed at connecting patients with available physician appointments, referred to as a "smart-waitlist" solution.<ref name=":5" />  The platform grew over time to include "bot-enabled messaging" to support high value communication between physician and patient via smartphones, which further expanded to include automated visit or procedure follow-ups.<ref name=":5" />  This communication is bi-directional and can be, in some cases, fully automated at the health provider end where anticipated inquiries from the patient have been encoded into the system.<ref name="Lovett2018">{{Cite news|url=https://www.mobihealthnews.com/content/luma-health-releases-automated-two-way-messaging-system-patient-engagement|title=Luma Health releases automated two-way messaging system for patient engagement|last=Lovett|first=Laura|date=April 23, 2018|work=Mobi Health News}}</ref>  Being based on text messaging, the platform functions better than either telephony or email in rural areas with infrastructure deficits, but which are still served by reliable cell phone networks.<ref name=":5" />

In September 2018, the platform was further expanded with the addition of Custom Audience Broadcasts (individual and group messages from health care providers), Collaboration Hub (for clinical messaging and health care team virtual collaboration), and mobile [[Health insurance in the United States|insurance card]] uploads (online insurance validation through image capture).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://hitconsultant.net/2018/09/25/luma-health-virtual-collaboration-hub/|title=Luma Health Launches Virtual Collaboration Hub for Providers to Reach Their Patients -|last=Pennic|first=Fred|date=2018-09-25|website=HIT Consultant|language=en-US|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=}}</ref>⏎
