Summary
Health tech start-ups are disrupting US healthcare by envisioning ways to make services more accessible and efficient. Cityblock Health and Tend are among companies offering medical, dental, and mental health care in relaxing environments, while BetterHelp and Maven Clinic offer online services. Businesses aim to make it easier to book appointments, reduce waiting times, and improve access to medical technology, often working directly with insurers to simplify patient processes. Despite the failure of some start-ups, experts believe collaboration between traditional healthcare providers and start-ups could largely improve patient experience.
