The first integrated, online program that delivers live visits with doctors. By partnering with health plans and state agencies, American Well has achieved what traditional telemedicine efforts could not: credibility with consumers and scale. An unexpected boon: Providing physicians with the opportunity to deliver care in their off-hours taps a latent talent pool and leverages our stock in a diminishing asset -- primary care doctors. Another net-benefit of 24-hour access to physicians: ER- triage. Fewer needless hospital visits means lower costs. Partners with FH100 companies, HealthVault, to give patients access to their personal records, and ActiveHealth, so doctors may scan medical records for pertinent data prior to diagnosis.

“Spending the next decade trying to [electronically] exchange medical records will [only] guarantee we end up with another antiquated system by the time we are done. We need to use technology not merely to distribute medical records, but to redeploy actual medical services and reshape our landscape."
