FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TeleThrive, the only software that instantly connects patients to doctors, debuts today at the Health 2.0 Conference with a demonstration of its direct-to-consumer service called Ringadoc.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – October 8, 2010 – TeleThrive utilizes a familiar and basic communication technology—the telephone—to produce revolutionary results. The software eliminates the hassle of appointments, callbacks, and waiting rooms by automatically routing patients to licensed physicians. Doctors and patients are matched based on shared parameters, such as location, language preference, and school or provider affiliation, as well as on the particular medical malady.

These medical consultations take place wherever and whenever patient and doctor have access to a telephone. No other hardware is required. Prior to taking the call, doctors can access patients’ voice-recorded medical history. Afterward, doctors record key points of their advice for patients to reference. Billing is automated upon completion of the call. Flexible, affordable, and user-friendly, this platform accommodates people’s health needs beyond the 9-5 weekday hours of most medical institutions.

TeleThrive demonstrates the Ringadoc service today at the Health 2.0 Conference. Registration for the service will be open to all California residents shortly. Ringadoc hosts its own network of board-certified, credentialed California physicians. Anticipated expansions include a Spanish-language platform and coverage in other states. Ringadoc demonstrates the effectiveness of TeleThrive for patients and doctors alike.

Founded on the idea of reform through communication, TeleThrive is a valuable supplement to the existing healthcare structure. Delivery networks, health plans, employers, payers, associations, hotels, content aggregators, and online communities can all benefit from a partnership with TeleThrive. The platform can help delivery networks to establish virtual health centers, cut costs and provide access to a superior healthcare network for health plans, give employees and clients more healthcare options, and drive traffic to online communities. High-quality, low-cost, and efficient, the TeleThrive technology controls demand for doctors while also enabling people to better manage their health.
