The more than 100 primary care physicians offering virtual appointments on K Health will use an algorithm based on the Rochester, Minn., provider’s Mayo Clinic Platform_Discover data to treat hypertension in a more targeted, accurate fashion.
“Starting with hypertension, K Health’s clinical and data science teams will unlock innovation using Mayo Clinic Platform_Discover to create a novel way to reduce the time between the diagnosis and treatment,” Steven Bethke, vice president of the product portfolio at Mayo Clinic Platform, said in a June 16 K Health news release.
K Health’s mobile and web apps offer medical advice on various conditions and telehealth appointments with internists licensed in 48 states for “dramatically less than a copay,” a spokesperson for the New York City-based company told Becker’s.
The firm also offers services to employers and insurers through a partnership with Anthem and Blackstone. K Health has raised $271.3 million to date and was valued at $1.4 billion in early 2021, according to the spokesperson.
