The HealthPod is a one-person medical clinic that provides rapid access to virtual care with a Nurse Practitioner for urgent, non-life-threatening concerns. Each HealthPod is equipped with easy-to-use medical devices — such as a blood pressure cuff, heart rate monitor, ECG, and oxygen monitor— making it simple to complete essential health checks as part of a thorough virtual visit.
This service allows patients to self-book appointments and access coordinated care, including prescriptions, lab and diagnostic testing, and referrals to specialists, if needed.
