Our Technology
Solving healthcare access and navigation bottlenecks through proprietary technology and content providing medical expertise and resources delivered at scale, everywhere.
Powering Education and Engagement.
Infrastructure Goal:
Distribute live, proprietary, and HIPPA compliant medical expertise, content, and materials across the United States. We built the platform to do it, enabling medical experts and the resources they needed in any corner of any office across the USA.
Challenge:
Quality healthcare requires more than just HIPPA compliant video conferencing system. It requires scheduling and billing integration, the ability to print and distribute important information, follow up services, the capacity to log and track questions and metrics, and the development of educational modules and videos for professionals to accurately and consistently communicate the right information across multiple locations. We solved all these problems and more to get people everywhere the healthcare they need.
Value:
Our unique telehealth system relieves a massive cost burden issue within the healthcare system. Often, a clinic will not have enough demand to necessitate employing a specialist full or even part time, and now with Empower Health USA they can have access to specialists they need, without having to spend valuable resources employing one on site. Rural areas far from city centers now have the ability to tap into essential personnel and services hundreds of miles away.
