Founded by two brothers—both doctors—in 2006, Amwell is one of the leading telehealth services in the United States. Because of their dedication to providing users with high-quality, Board Certified, licensed care (doctors, nutritionists, dietitians, psychologists, therapists, and social workers), they work with the nation’s largest health insurance companies, most prestigious hospital systems, and many of the largest self-insured employers in the U.S. Their goal is to deliver the best healthcare available over your desktop or mobile via video in under 2 minutes. As the first telehealth service awarded accreditation by The American Telemedicine Association, the Amwell App was ranked as the most popular consumer telehealth app in 2014 worldwide, by App Annie, with over 1.3M downloads across iOS and Android devices.
So how does it work? First, download the user-friendly app onto your phone. Next, register with some of your basic information, and up will pop a list of available doctors. It’s that easy. After scrolling through and reading their bios and credentials, you can take your pick. The doctor you select will greet you shortly—right on your screen. Mama, you can do this before you even make that roll out of bed to check on those kiddos!
