Chris Hogg, Joe Slavinsky and David Hubanks, who are best known for their association with health platform Propeller Health, have taken all of their nous and know-how about the sector to launch an innovative new virtual primary care platform that is squarely focused on chronic diseases.
The 'Marley Medical' platform aims to make it easier for patients to access providers, and for health care specialists to liaise with care teams from across relevant medical disciplines. It also empowers patients to conduct labs and tests at home, and access medicine that can be mailed directly to their home address.
Chronic diseases are known to be exceptionally difficult to manage due to the multitude of complexities that they can give rise to, as well as the related expenses and deluge of information that patients have to digest. By streamlining relevant information, services and access points to appropriate clinicians, this virtual primary care platform aims to curb the stress and frustration associated with seeking medical care.
