NYC-based Startup Providing COVID-19 Home Care for The Uninsured, Containing The Coronavirus Outbreak At The Doorstep
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Mira , an NYC-based company, is leveraging its digital platform and a network of brick-and-mortar clinics to help low-risk patients manage care outside of the hospital, ameliorating the testing and protective equipment shortage. - How it works: individuals will go through a 2-step screening program involving a 1-minute questionnaire and a face-to-face virtual consultation with a licensed medical provider. From then on, the patient will receive a personalized care plan or get referred for in-person testing only if determined appropriate.
- Scaling nationally: currently, 9,000-20,000 people are going through the
Mira platform every day. The company is urgently seeking state and federal fundings to scale its clinical team and serve 100,000 uninsured patients in the coming weeks.
- "Having been both a patient and an administrator, I am seeing a huge gap in how different parts of the healthcare system respond to this pandemic. Companies are coming up with innovative testing solutions and that's great, but care delivery requires a lot of coordination in between and patients are looking for a continuum of care that yet to exist in the market -- that's where
Mira comes in. Not only do we have the ability to screen and facilitate virtual care, but we could also send the patient to a clinic the same hour if need be." - saidKhang Vuong , Founder & CEO ofMira .
- "The real value
Mira delivers isn't telling people where to go for testing because the test result doesn't change how care is managed since there is no treatment available. What we are trying to accomplish here is to build a tech/human hybrid platform and help folks manage care most appropriately and affordably - that's how good medicine should be." - saidMira's Founder and CEO.
- "Now more than ever, we need real-time and accurate medical information pushed out to the general public.
Mira platform allows the patient to very quickly determine if their symptoms are consistent with that of someone who should be tested. The ability to speak to a medical provider helps either rule in or rule out the need for testing. The goal is to keep low-risk patients out of the hospital and get them high-quality information so they can manage care at home." -Vivek P. Sinha , MD - Family Medicine, Board Certified - Cofounder ofBelleview Medical Partners .
