Our take
In an age where digitization is transforming the way we interact with healthcare providers, Wheel brings together tech infrastructure and clinicians to power virtual care and telehealth. The company is focused on improving patient access to care and simultaneously addressing an urgent need for clinician empowerment.
The company has created a telemedicine platform that allows companies to provide services to patients under their own brand, with Wheel handling all the back-end technology and providing an easy-to-use interface for healthcare providers to treat people.
With Wheel, not only can prospective patients be connected to the best healthcare provider for their specific needs, but the improvements to efficiency for practitioners contribute to tackling the epidemic of clinician burnout. Past funding has allowed the company to broaden its services and improve its integrations, as it pursues the ultimate goal of better health outcomes for all.
