1. 92% of American adults have delayed or skipped medical care because of cost. 2. The average doctor's visit without insurance costs $171. 3. One in five say their health got worse because they waited. Americans hold $220 billion in medical debt and the industry thinks the answer is to finance the cost with payment plans, medical credit cards, or debt. Why not just fix the system? A Doctronic medical AI visit is free, and our video visits with licensed doctors are $39 cash, 24/7, in all 50 states. https://lnkd.in/gmVXrkXK
I think it took me a while to even consider the notion that AI could actually BE someone's doctor. But as our current healthcare system has deteriorated and AI continues to improve exponentially, it's not a matter of if but when. I'm so impressed by how Doctronic elegantly solves multiple fundamental issues at once (doctor shortage, price issues, time spent with a clinician, access, etc etc)!

The $171 line is the whole case in one number. When the alternative is skipping care entirely, instant and affordable access changes who gets seen at all, not just how.

Making healthcare more accessible shouldn’t mean adding another layer of financing to an already expensive system. Proud to back Doctronic as the team builds something fundamentally different.
The US health system has too many parasitic middlemen.
You are literally so right. The answer to broken systems rarely come from minor innovations within it. Major innovations from the outside — focused on what people need most and free from entrenched pressure. This is such meaningful progress. A random anecdote, I remember feeling significantly judged enough when picking up medication for hypertension that for years, I stopped going to the pharmacy to pick it up.
