In the days of black-and-white TV it was common for doctors to treat sick patients in their homes. A startup aims to revive the practice in the internet age.
Southern Home Medical Solutions Inc. has developed Homemedy.com, an online platform that lets patients request house calls, as a way to stimulate a more personal relationship between patient and physician, the company says.
“The nature of the relationship between patient and doctor is less personal today,” says CEO Miquel Dotres. “Using technology to help facilitate house calls can help reverse that trend.”
Patients can log on to Homemedy.com to schedule in-home visits with a range of physicians, including those specialized in pediatrics, internal medicine and family practice. They can also book a visit by a licensed nurse practitioner. Homemedy.com will launch in Port Charlotte, Fla., in the first quarter of 2017 and later expand to Miami and Jacksonville.
Southern Home Medical is targeting these markets because they have large populations of seniors and families likely to welcome house calls from doctors or nurse practitioners, Dotres says.
“Our platform provides consumers an opportunity to reduce travel and wait times at a doctor’s office and receive care in a comfortable and personal setting,” Dotres says.
Patients logging on to Homemedy.com or using the Homemedy mobile app can find doctors and schedule appointments. After an in-home visit, the service will provide patients an electronic summary of the doctor’s notes, which can be downloaded and shared with their primary care physician.
