The COVID-19 pandemic undoubtedly accelerated the adoption of telehealth services. People who had previously resisted scheduling virtual appointments with their physician were forced to do so when clinics and practices shut down to all but the sickest of patients, and leaving your home became increasingly more of a risk. The fear of contagion made virtual doctor visits a necessity. Once they experienced the convenience of telehealth, the vast majority of patients were willing to embrace it as a permanent option for getting care. Post-pandemic, telehealth is now an integral part of how we deliver healthcare in the U.S., as it provides both efficiency and convenience.
A physician’s perspective on the digital healthcare revolution: delivering better outcomes, better patient experiences, reduced waste, and more joy

We are firm believers that increasing access to affordable, evidence-based care can lower overall healthcare costs and improve outcomes. Rather than focus on disruption for disruption’s sake, we’re building a services infrastructure to link the healthcare ecosystem to patients, on their terms. Our business model is designed to augment provider workforces, not replace them. We enable continuous interactions between physicians and their patients, no disjointed black box encounters. And we do this at a price point that can lower the cost of care, not increase it.

Here’s what we can expect in 2022...

This time last year, we still had more questions than answers about COVID-19 and vaccines were not yet available. Many people spent the holidays alone at home out of an abundance of caution. Others got together with friends and family, but may have inadvertently contributed to a rise in infections.

We all know people close to us, important to us, who have skipped medical care at some point. “I’ll do it next week,” “I just need to find time,” or “I don’t think it’s that important, I feel fine,” are all pretty common refrains...
