Xealth is a platform that lets clinicians prescribe digital health tools to patients, typically under the hospital systems patient portal. So it's all white labeled to the hospital system and the doctors themselves. We've integrated over 40 different vendors on behalf of our hospital systems, patients, ED, articles, videos, apps, maternity care, behavioral health, pre-op, post-op PT, OT, rehab etc. Our platform is pretty broad and whatever the clinicians think can be digitally facilitated to improve patient care or ease of experience, we can put into our prescribing workflow.

The digitization of healthcare has actually added complexity to the physician's day. The primary element of healthcare should be the visit between patient and doctor, whether it’s online, a call or whether they come in. With the advent of EMRs, we now have a third element in the room. A computer that actually interrupts, that relationship because the doctor's sitting there typing on a computer instead of looking at that person.
