Remedy

Thanks for your support @sarahtavel After struggling to find good treatment for my epilepsy, I began to realize just how terrible the healthcare system was. It took months to talk to my doctors, and few of them were up to date with relevant standards of care. It seemed that the system didn’t work for patients, doctors, or the researchers and innovators trying to change things for the better. It was literally brain damage for me! After talking to my close friends, Nikhil, Mike, and Jessica, I realized that I was not alone. Research showed that about 70% of all doctor’s visits could be taken care of via telemedicine, the practice of using technology to provide care remotely. We saw telemedicine as the natural hub to build a new healthcare system around. It gives patients unparalleled access to their physicians, and makes seamless data collection and deployment of game-changing software possible at the point of care. For example, most physicians spend about 66% of their time on paperwork. Remedy uses AI to automate tedious tasks and administrative paperwork for our doctors. Because of this, our doctors save tons of time, which we pass onto our patients by making appointments affordable. More importantly, this efficiency lets us bring some of the world’s best physicians onto the Remedy platform, and empower them to spend more time focusing on caring for patients. Remedy’s the only place where patients, even those without insurance, can get the undivided attention of an elite doctor for the price of a copay at most clinics. Of course, this doesn’t fix everything about healthcare. We’re only in California right now, and obviously Remedy can’t treat all health concerns (it’s tough to do surgery over an app). We’re eager to expand Remedy in the future, offering speciality care, mental health, surgeries and all other components of modern healthcare. We dream of a healthcare system built around a strong software backbone that ties data together to enable researchers to uncover better ways of delivering medicine, automates bloat, provides a seamless channel for deploying life-saving diagnostics at scale, and above all, helps doctors focus on what they do best: giving care. Really excited to share this with you all, and we’re all eager to hear your thoughts!

@jose_morey_md Thanks for the support, Jose! Our doctors and patients already love working with Remy. In the long term, we see Remy as an incredible mechanism by which we can deliver important automation and diagnostic technologies directly to the front lines of care.

@jose_morey_md You probably should mention that you're on the team.

@darshan1394 Thanks for all your support Darsh! :)

@daphne_liu Thanks very much for your support! The $30 covers an appointment with your Remedy physician on our mobile app, where you can message your doctor about anything (including exchange images and videos). Our physicians can answer any health questions you might have, order prescriptions, and schedule laboratory testing. Unlike other healthcare providers, we’ll never box you into a 15 minute time slot. The communication channel remains open so that your physician can follow up with you and so that you can ask any questions you might have as you start your recovery. We won’t end your appointment until you’re clearly on the path to getting better. With or without insurance, the cost of a Remedy appointment is the same affordable price of $30. You can even use your HSA, HRA, or FSA accounts to pay for Remedy. As a reminder, all Product Hunt users are invited to use the code PRODH01 for a free appointment to test our platform. The code expires at the end of the day today, so grab it while you can!

@michael_n @daphne_liu To follow up on that, Remedy appointments are extremely affordable because of the underlying software that hyper leverages each of our doctors. In the existing healthcare system, you're paying not only for the doctor's time spent in the appointment, but also all of the time spent by the doctor (and other staff) on intake, billing, compliance, and other paperwork. By building tools that eliminate all of these administrative distractions, we help the doctor focus on you. We save the doctor time on everything superfluous to providing care. That directly results in a better patient experience and massive cost savings for you.

@michael_n That is incredible. I am very fortunate to have great health insurance, but most of the students I teach at CSULA do not. I have students who come in sick but say that they would not go into the doctor unless it was a critical condition because of the enormous cost without insurance. At such a low cost, this product can be potentially life-saving. Would you mind if I shared the code with my students?

@daphne_liu Please feel free to share it – we'd love to help!

@andreas_dias Feel free to use PRODH01 to give Remedy a test run as well :) A limited time promo code for our favorite users from PH <3

@joshim5 Thanks very much for the kind words! The US already has a shortage of primary care physicians and the AAMC forecasts the shortage to grow to 12,500 - 31,100 by 2025. And that’s just in the US. At the same time, patients are facing longer and longer wait times to see their primary care physicians (over two weeks in many places). We believe the best solution is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of each physician. At Remedy, we achieve this without sacrificing quality of care by simplifying our physicians’ workflows and empowering them with cutting-edge technology.

Is it

@jenleeny There are actually several problems that are immediately interesting to us: 1) Clinical decision support. In the process of collecting highly granular data about each consult, we're developing a dataset that will allow us to match reported symptoms and QA data to the immediate diagnosis by a physician and results of the 48 hour follow up. We can use this dataset to generate models for predicting the patient's diagnosis (and the rationale for the diagnosis), most likely warning signs that would indicate something more serious is going on, and automatic templates so the doctor can send across all the critical information with a couple taps. 2) Bringing cutting edge research to the front lines of care. The speed of clinical research far outpaces the ability of any individual doctor to keep up. There's just so much new information coming out every single day. We're hoping to use our strong algorithmic understanding of medicine to surface the most relevant research articles to the physician in the appropriate clinical context. That way, if there's a new practice guideline or study that would suggest a best course of action for a particular patient, the doctor will know about it! 3) Continuous monitoring for chronic diseases. Some of the most expensive and dangerous conditions in today's healthcare system are complex chronic diseases, and the current healthcare system is ill-equipped to tackle them. In the long term, we hope to continuously engage our chronically ill patients so we can detect decompensation before it happens and make the appropriate interventions. And many more :)
