How innovation is changing the new care delivery model
At Vator Splash Health 2015, CEOs/founders of HealthTap, Doctor on Demand, HealthPrize get on stage
Startups have emerged to focus on changing the way people are being cared for, as they build out tools, platforms, mobile applications for prevention, monitoring or recovery. At Vator Splash Health 2015, held last February 2015, Jason Torres, Partner and COO of Mansa Capital Management moderated the panel discussing the "New care delivery model". On the panel were Dr. Katrina Firlik, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of HealthPrize; Ron Gutman, CEO of HealthTap; and Adam Jackson, Founder and CEO of Doctor on Demand.

In July 2014, HealthTap launched its premium HealthTap Prime subscription service. Prime members pay a monthly subscription fee for unlimited live consults with physicians via HD video, voice, and text chat. The service is available via any mobile device or personal computer.
HealthTap then launched HealthTap Concierge in October 2014, which connects members with their own doctors, via HD video, voice, and text chat for a low, per-consult fee. No monthly subscription is required to use HealthTap Concierge.
HealthTap released its first annual AppRx Report in January 2015. Thousands of doctors on HealthTap independently reviewed tens of thousands of health and wellness apps available in the iOS and Android app stores and provided recommendations for those they deemed the best.
In March 2015, HealthTap launched RateRx, the first free, large-scale resource of doctor ratings and reviews for over 4,000 drugs and medications. It was created by doctors to help consumers understand the effectiveness of drugs and treatments based on doctors' real-world experience.
