From LinkedIn: Who founded Antidote and why?

SyS - 1

Antidote – a telehealth platform – is founded by a team of healthcare professionals and Israeli cyber experts.

They carry a firm belief that healthcare is the fundamental right of every individual and thus, it must be accessible very easily.

What inspired them to start a telehealth platform was their observation. Being healthcare professionals, they had very closely observed that so many Americans still lack satisfactory healthcare.

So, to make healthcare more accessible and affordable, they ended up starting a telehealth startup named Antidote in 2020.

Talking specifically about affordability, they leverage AI and machine learning technologies to help providers in clinical decision making and patient scheduling which results in meaningful and affordable patient-provider engagement.

From Google: How does Antidote meet the high demand for telehealth services?

Delivering care on time – even in the case of telehealth – is very crucial to ensure a remarkable patient experience. In fact, rapid care is the whole idea of telehealth!

However, several telehealth providers in the USA struggle to meet high patient demand.

Talking about Antidote, they meet high patient demands with the fusion of their internal and external healthcare providers.

The startup has currently around 70 providers who serve patients virtually. Out of their 70 providers, some of the providers are their full-time employees while some are on part-time contracts with Antidote.

With this new funding round, Antidote is planning to expand its internal team of providers to offer the constant quality and experience of care to their patients.

From News Sites: What is the future plan of Antidote?

Since its inception, Antidote has had the vision to provide affordable care to every American. So, to finally accomplish their vision in a true sense, they will soon adopt a very popular fintech idea and offer patients a ‘care now, pay later’ option.

After the pandemic, such a ‘care now, pay later’ model is getting popular across the world as healthcare is getting expensive with current manpower in the healthcare industry unable to tackle the increasing demand for healthcare and wellness services.

Under this ‘care now, pay later’ model, patients have the ability to receive care instantly and make payment for the care they have received in several small installments.

Such a model creates win-win situations for both patients and healthcare providers as it increases the revenue of providers with fewer patients avoiding care due to high expense.
