Hale Health is a remote care platform that connects clinical teams and their patients between office visits. Hale is secure, easy to use and free. In the US alone, patients make roughly 3.5B visits to primary care providers each year—and yet over two-thirds of these visits could be handled remotely. Hale believes that flexible tools designed to extend care beyond the four walls of the clinic can improve access, efficiency and outcomes. Hale supports an ongoing relationship between providers and patients to enable quick treatment of acute issues, efficient chronic disease management, routine health maintenance and follow-up. Providers can conduct live video visits, send and receive secure messages, share photos and videos, and send structured questionnaires and health education from the devices they use every day.
