Patient Access

Virtual care can help fill gaps left by specialist deserts across the country as well as provider shortages, says Kuldeep Singh Rajput, CEO of Biofourmis, a tech vendor turned telemedicine provider organization. 

According to the state authorities, the online birth control company billed Medi-Cal for services it didn't provide and dispensed female condoms to beneficiaries who didn't request them.

The latter will soon be rebranded as MediBuddy vHealth.

Also, Lunit has deployed its AI mammography solution to Dubai Hospital.

The telehealth staffing and services startup confirmed it laid off 56 employees. It conducted an earlier round of layoffs over the summer.

KeyCare's study of patients' relation to telemedicine offers insights for healthcare IT leaders and their work in virtual care. CEO Dr. Lyle Berkowitz explains the findings.

AgeWell New York's CareWell members will have access to the VR company's immersive experiences designed for the aging population.

Cough-monitoring company C-mo Medical Solutions and sexual healthcare provider TBD Health also announced funding rounds.

The research, published in JAMA Network Open, found no difference in visit frequency, initiation of medication use or adverse outcomes between patients who were treated by clinicians with either high or low levels of telehealth use.

The funds will help the company grow its platform and scale partnerships with life science companies and healthcare systems.
