“We’re seeing dramatic shifts in the way healthcare is being accessed today. Until recently, it’s been a one size fits all experience where you must book an appointment weeks in advance, drive to the office, wait and only then see a doctor. COVID-19 has pulled the future forward. Healthcare has shifted to a digital-first experience, allowing Americans to engage with healthcare from their homes without disruption in their daily lives,” said Heather Fernandez, CEO and co-founder of Solv. “Solv is leading the charge to make sure that innovative providers can offer a digital-first experience, and consumers get more access to what they need, when they need it, from their phones.”
