Company mission
Heal's mission is to deliver great healthcare in the comfort of patients' homes.
Our take
Founded in 2014, Heal started life as an app that connected patients to doctors for on-demand, at home visits. While house calls are still at the core of its value, it’s since grown into a healthcare platform with telehealth, remote health monitoring and preventative care solutions.
Heal’s leading co-founders, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Renee Dua and CEO Nick Desai stepped away from the company in 2021. However, the hiring of serial CEO and entrepreneur Scott Vertrees brought about a shift in strategy, and a subsequent period of immense growth.
Vertrees has been behind the company’s new-found exclusive focus on seniors, as well as its more value-based model through its recently launched tech platform – as opposed to its previous reactionary, on-demand approach.
There are a number of health industry companies beginning to focus primarily on senior citizens, including early-stage Medicare back office startup FairStreet, all of whom rightly recognize that the number of Americans aged 65 or older is set to more than double by 2060.
