Hello Health!

A new health care delivery model based on the net has been introduced by the makers of Hello Health.

They are a introducing a Web 2.0 concept to health care and making patients take charge of their own health. This is what they say about Hello Health :-

"Hello health was announced at the Health 2.0 conference in San Diego. hello health is the consumer brand of healthcare delivery powered by the Myca platform. It’s Geek Squad with doctors and a Netflix-priced monthly membership subscription fee — it is a branded healthcare “experience” that mixes “concierge service for all,” with house/office calls and web visits via email, IM, video chat, and text messaging. It’s Fed Ex, Apple, Whole Foods, Amazon, Toyota, Fresh Direct, and Geek Squad all applied to healthcare delivery."


According to their website - this is their story

"Once upon a time, going to your doctor was simple. You knew his first name, or perhaps just called him “Doc.” He lived just down the street and made house calls. And if you were sick, you would see him that day, because, well, you were sick.

Then things started to change. Although medicine has made some amazing advances in keeping us healthy, we now have to contend with dietitians, insurance premiums, running shoes, deductibles, HMOs, OTC drugs, specialists, fat-free salad dressing, and therapists. Daunting, isn't it?

But don't worry, we've made going to the doctor easy again. Hello Health serves as your old-fashioned neighborhood doctor, remodeled for today's lifestyle— an experience found nowhere else in health care. And, on top of being accessible and affordable, we focus on you, as a real live, busy person. "

At the moment they are only able to offer their services at Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY.

Hello Health is located in Williamsburg, at 105 Berry Street between North 7th and North 8th Streets. Membership and services are available to anyone in the New York City area. House calls are only available to anyone living in the 11211, 11222, and 11206 zip codes.


So it is very limited at the moment, but as more and more doctors sign up - they will be able to offer their services to other area's as well.

All the best to the Hello Health Team.
