UK-based digital health startup, Forward Health raises funding of $3.9 Million
Summary
For years, the healthcare industry has relied on mediums like fax, outdated pages, WhatsApp and other communication modes to achieve security. This app lets the clinicians and medical teams instantly communicate patient profiles in a safe, secure, confidential and compliant way. The Forward Health app is free to download and allows doctors and others working in the healthcare industry to create, share and update the patient profiles. An additional feature of this application is that it enables connections across NHS hospitals with the help of a search function and further filters depending on their specialization, staff role, on-call status, and more. The co-founder of Forward Health, Philip Mundy expressed that the fragmentation observed in the communications in healthcare has a direct impact on how appropriately the clinicians carry out their respective jobs and the level of care patients receive.
