Care app 98point6 announced a US$20m funding and a strategic partnership to power providers and patients with a digital system.
MultiCare Health System will be the first health care system to license the 98point6 virtual care technology within its leading hybrid ambulatory care platform Indigo Health.
Indigo Health is a division of MultiCare Health System, the largest health system in the state of Washington.
Jay Burrell, president at 98point6, said: “Indigo Health’s strategic partnership is a major milestone toward our vision to make achieving optimal health a reality for everyone.
“Labor shortages, lagging technologies, and a dynamic market have placed tremendous pressure on health systems to innovate across their customer journey, technology infrastructure, and operating models.”
What does 98point6 do?
98point6 is a virtual clinic that provides primary care delivered by US board-certified physicians who are able to diagnose, treat , prescribe, order labs and follow up with patients via the mobile platform.
Burrell said: “Healthcare is in a period of radical transformation – the previous growth and cost reduction strategies of healthcare organisations, particularly health systems, will no longer serve them.
“Our team has learned a tremendous amount in the past seven years as a standalone virtual clinic. I’m tremendously excited about this next stage of our business, as health systems leverage the 98point6 platform to deliver value to their patients and their organisations in new ways.”
