Google is Bringing Chrome’s Dinosaur Game to iPhones as a Widget

Posted: 20 Apr 2021 06:34 PM PDT

 


The Dinosaur Game on Google Chrome has been played by almost everyone who has opened their Chrome browser while having an inactive internet connection. The game lets you jump and duck over and under obstacles while waiting for the internet to be connected. Now Google has recently announced that it is bringing the game to iPhone devices, where it will be displayed as a widget.

 

iPhone users can add the game as a widget to their home screens, as part of Chrome 91 Beta for iOS. The experience is, however, nothing too different, as the game can't be played directly on the widget, but tapping on the widget will open it in Chrome for you.

 

In case you still want to be able to play the game directly on the widget, then you can install a separate app called 'Steve - Widget Game', which will let you play the game from within the widget itself. Google, however, doesn't seem to have any plan to make that happen for you on your iPhone.

Emerging Digital Health Trends

Digital health is nothing new. But the COVID-19 pandemic led to a rapid acceleration in our use of digital healthcare technology and telemedicine. Over 80% of doctors now personally use health tech or recommend digital tools to their patients. More than two-thirds of physicians use healthcare websites to gather information. 


Patients are equally interested in digital health tools. Many prefer telemedicine, online appointment scheduling, and digital communication with their healthcare providers. Patients who use these tools believe technology empowers them to manage their own health. 

Aside from the pandemic, rare and chronic diseases are driving the adoption of digital health technologies. Doctors treating low-incidence diseases are more likely to recommend technology to their patients. Patients with chronic conditions utilize telemedicine and digital communication at a higher rate. 


Both doctors and patients anticipate more digital transformation in healthcare in years ahead. Learn more about how digital adoption transformed healthcare in 2020 in this infographic.

How Healthcare is Changing: Fixing Healthcare Payments

25% of wasted healthcare spending goes toward the administration of healthcare payments, totaling $190 billion every year. Collecting, processing, posting, and reconciling payments is complicated by disconnected technology, denied insurance claims, and patients who are increasingly unsure of what costs they are responsible for covering. 


High deductible health plans are increasing in popularity, growing 450% from 2007 to 2017. Patients using these insurance plans are often unsure of their payment responsibilities. When clinics aren't able to give accurate estimates upfront, patients are less likely to make a payment at the time of service. And 67% of Americans worry about whether they could cover a surprise medical bill. 


Clinics can provide accurate, upfront cost estimates and reduce the cost of processing payments. 90% of all denied insurance claims are avoidable. Automating the insurance verification process can eliminate the bulk of denied claims and prevent patients from receiving surprise medical bills. Check out the infographic below to learn more.
