Imagine you’ve just had serious surgery. You’re ready to leave the hospital, but not quite ready to go back to your everyday life. And so you need to get periodic checkups from your doctor or nurse practitioner.
Trekking back and forth from the hospital would be a (literal) pain. And, depending on your age, using an iPad or computer may be beyond your technological grasp. But what if the doctors and clinicians came straight into your bedroom—and you didn’t have to do anything at all?
That’s the technology that telehealth giant American Well is developing and expects to deploy sometime in 2020, CEO Roy Schoenberg tells Fortune in an exclusive interview.
