The 'Forward' Healthcare Start-Up Offers Preventative Care
Ellen Smith — September 19, 2017 — Lifestyle
'Forward,' is a San Francisco healthcare start-up that combines technology with great doctors to offer Americans preventative care, on wheels.
The mobile iteration of the futuristic clinic aims to bring proactive healthcare to the cities that need it most. The system focuses on detecting diseases and illnesses "before they occur or get worse" through the use of powerful technologies, like biometric readers, full-body scanners and body-monitoring wearables. This information, is interpreted with the help of professional doctors who can relay the information to patients in a manner that's digestible and comprehensive.
Through this practice, the company hopes to address the current American healthcare system, which the company believes to be reactive, instead of preventative.
