WHAT IT DOES
Well Health operates a two-way communication hub for patients and healthcare organizations to connect throughout the entire care journey. The platform offers secure, multilingual messaging in the patient’s preferred communications channel: texting, email, telephone or live chat.
“WELL delivers what patients expect today – the ability to engage with their healthcare provider as easily as they’d text a friend,” said Guillaume de Zwirek, Well Health’s CEO and founder, in a statement. “Although the pandemic fueled the adoption of digital health by many healthcare providers, patients today expect real-time, personalized communication, an expectation that will never fade.”
