Amwell https://business.amwell.com unveiled their next generation Converge ™ telehealth platform at their annual Client Forum. Since the shift in telehealth usage during the pandemic from transactional to longitudinal care, the new platform is designed to provide deeper connectivity between healthcare players.
Dr. Roy Schoenberg, President and Co-CEO, Amwell reports, “Digital distribution of care is here. Telehealth morphed almost overnight from a promising technology to an existential platform in the operation of healthcare alongside EHRs, claim systems, and e-prescribing. We are witnessing a new consensus that the future care of any one patient will inevitably involve a mix of physical, digital, and asynchronous/AI-based care.”
With the Converge platform, Amwell’s products, programs, modules and Carepoint™ devices as well as applications from innovators, will be available in one place with a single code base. The platform’s open architecture is designed to host and operate applications to enable clients to pick and choose the capabilities that matter most to them.
Examples include:
- Leveraging AI and natural language processing technologies powered by Google Cloud
- TytoCare enables improved diagnosis and treatment for virtual visits using TytoCare’s exam kit
- The Clinic enables providers to request virtual second opinion services for patients by connecting to Cleveland Clinic physicians in over 550 advanced sub-specialties
