Antidote is an artificial intelligence-based virtual care telehealth company that seeks to provide care to individuals or families at a single price. Antidote offers a primary care package for $55 a month that includes 12 visits and a drug cost reduction program, according to the Sentinel.
Antidote says that Mr. Antetokounmpo has invested $1 million into the company. Mr. Antetokounmpo credits this support with his own experiences of not having healthcare as a Nigerian immigrant growing up in Greece.
“I didn’t have healthcare until I was 18, until I got to the NBA and I was able to go to the doctor, talk to the doctor,” Mr. Antetokounmpo said. “I’m not the expert in this, but I care about people. And I believe it’s a human right to have access to doctors, to talk to somebody to tell them about your issues, to tell them about what you’re going through mentally, about your struggle. It’s a human right, so everybody should have that access.”
