Rush University System for Health joins forces with Fabric
Rush University System for Health has formed a strategic partnership with Fabric for Rush Connect and Rush Connect+ platforms designed to offer digital-first access to healthcare services. Under the collaboration, Fabric's AI-based virtual care technology will power the platform, reducing wait times. Fabric's AI-driven technology and virtual care platform will enable Rush Connect to deliver patient access to care with ease. Additionally, clinical teams will get access to the tools for expanding capacity and delivering quality care. Rush Connect guides patients from initial signs of illness to receiving medical care via a digital experience. It utilises Fabric's 24/7 AI Assistant for real-time patient triage and navigation. The system is designed to alleviate the pressures of increased patient demand and clinician burnout, which are exacerbated by fragmented healthcare solutions. Rush Connect+ subscribers will benefit from Fabric's asynchronous-first Virtual Care platform, connecting them with licensed providers for quick treatment plans. This approach aims to lessen wait times, broaden access, and streamline the care process for both patients and providers, marking a significant shift towards Access-as-a-Service in healthcare. Fabric founder and CEO Aniq Rahman said: "This collaboration is a great example of how our technology and clinical platform can scale to support new care models, ultimately enabling Rush to provide even better access to care for patients across the Midwest and setting a new standard for the entire country." The partnership between Fabric and Rush University System for Health represents a scalable, patient-centred model for health systems facing obstacles such as growing demand and workforce shortages.

Telehealth vs Virtual Care: What's the difference?
Telehealth is an umbrella term that encompasses the use of digital technology to deliver a wide range of healthcare services. Virtual care is a type of telehealth that focuses on remote consultations with a healthcare professional. While telehealth and virtual care are terms often used interchangeably, they are not the same. Telehealth refers to using digital technologies to deliver various remote healthcare services, such as virtual visits with a doctor, secure access to medical records, and patient education resources. Virtual care is a type of telehealth that involves remote appointments with a healthcare professional via phone or video call. Learn more about how telehealth and virtual care work, the benefits, and how to decide which method is right for you. What is telehealth? Telehealth uses digital technologies to offer a wide range of healthcare services at a distance. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become the fastest-growing mode of healthcare. Examples of telehealth Types of telehealth include: Virtual care: This mode of care offers an alternative to face-to-face appointments and allows you to speak with a doctor via phone or video chat. You can share any concerns you have about your health and ask any questions. Store-and-forward: This technique involves temporarily storing medical information online before it is forwarded to a healthcare provider. Patient education: Telehealth can be used to provide people with easy-to-understand health information, such as a step-by-step video on how to use a home blood pressure monitor. Electronic messaging: A healthcare professional can use an electronic health record (EHR) to inform you about upcoming appointments. Sensor alerts: This can include using wearable devices to monitor health and provide interventions through an online alert system, such as a mobile app. For example, it can help detect if someone with dementia has had a fall and alert their caregiver. Preventive care: Telehealth can also be used as a preventive measure to inform people that it's time for their annual physical exam or to book a routine screening or test Benefits of telehealth Telehealth can reduce the need for in-person appointments, which can have several benefits: improves accessibility for those living in rural areas or underserved communities provides flexible scheduling for those who may not be able to attend an appointment during their working hours increases access to specialist healthcare professionals improves wait times for an appointment provides the option of home-based care for those with mobility needs reduces the risk of infection as there isn't a need for in-person contact What is virtual care? Virtual care is a subset of telehealth that allows you to speak with a doctor via phone or video chat. It can provide an effective alternative to face-to-face appointments and make care delivery more accessible. Uses of virtual care Virtual care can be used in the following ways: Virtual health portals: Online portals can allow you to securely message healthcare professionals and schedule or cancel appointments. Remote monitoring: This can offer an online platform to monitor health information and securely send it to your doctor. Mental health care: Virtual care can make it more accessible to receive mental health care through phone or video sessions with a therapist or counselor. Benefits of virtual care The benefits of virtual care are the same as telehealth and can also include: more cost-effective ways of accessing care improved mental health support enhanced communication between you and your doctor improved efficiency with fewer administrative obstacles increased engagement and the ability for you to feel more in control of your healthcare Choosing the right option for your health needs When choosing between telehealth and virtual care, it can be helpful to consider your primary health needs and whether your healthcare plan supports the use of telehealth or virtual care. In some cases, it may be helpful to receive in-person care if your symptoms are unclear or if you would benefit from a physical exam. A healthcare professional can help you understand what is suitable. It's important to remember that you still need to seek in-person care during an emergency or if you experience severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing.

Omada Health IPO signals healthier market, avoids ‘down-round' trend
The IPO market is starting to feel healthier. Omada Health, a 14-year-old company providing virtual care for chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension between office visits, closed its first trading day on Friday at $23 a share, a 21% jump from the IPO price of $19. The IPO valued the company just above $1 billion (excluding employee options), a figure that's nearly identical to Omada's last private valuation of $1 billion set in its previous VC round. The debut is one of the first among recent IPOs that was not a so-called down-round. Many of the latest public listings, including Hinge, ServiceTitan, and Reddit, priced below their private market highs, though have faired well as public companies. For founder and CEO Sean Duffy, the successful public offering validates his decision to start a company that he believed the market desperately needed. In 2011, he dropped out of Harvard Medical School after realizing that chronic illness patients required more continuous support than the existing healthcare system delivered. Before the offering, he owned 4.1% of the company, according to Omada's offering document. Other significant shareholders included Revelation Partners (10.9%), US Venture Partners (9.9%), Andreessen Horowitz (9.6%), and FMR (9.3%). Duffy told TechCrunch that over his 14-year journey as a founder, he had many harrowing moments. 'I didn't think our series A was going to come together because we were working on this commercial deal that didn't materialize, and that spooked one investor,' he said.

Boston, MA | REGISTER NOW 'As a young business, something tries to kill you every month,' he continued. 'And then as the business grows, it turns into like every quarter or six months, year, two years.' One of the recent challenges for many digital health businesses is navigating the 'collapse' of the market post-COVID boom. Omada navigated the turbulent times by seeking new, rising markets. It recently expanded its offerings to include diet management support for GLP-1 patients.
