MCI Onehealth and Oro Health Collaborate to Launch New Teledermatology Platform - Seite 2

“We are excited to collaborate with MCI Onehealth and provide our technology to enable a new teledermatology online consultation service for Ontario-based patients awaiting faster and broader access to dermatological care,” said Dr. Emilie Bourgeault, CEO of Oro Health, BSc., M.D., Dermatologist (FRCPC).

MCI is already a leader in the virtual/telehealth care sector with 300,000 annual patient visits via telephone or MCI’s general health virtual platform, MCI Connect. This collaboration with Oro Health demonstrates MCI’s continued commitment to the expansion of technology-enabled care. In the absence of more providers and resources, greater technological innovation, clinical efficiency and data that is used well can flag gaps in care, target patients for services they’re behind on, provide patients with more options, and help reduce health system costs.

MCI has built a first-of-its-kind model in community healthcare that is right now demonstrating efficiencies and improving patient access in ways that has not been demonstrated before in Canadian healthcare. MCI’s tech and data-enabled high-performance healthcare network helps address urgent health system issues: remedying system backlogs for patient services, providing greater access to care and diagnostics, providing high-quality continuity of care, speeding time to specialist referrals, identifying optimal care pathways, while accelerating research that supports new health treatments and products.

“MCI’s high-performance healthcare network of patient-facing services allows it to build a much richer and deeper patient profile. Our collaboration with Oro Health, a leader in Asynchronous Telemedicine with image-based AI-driven triaging, will lead to future opportunities to enhance that patient profile, make care more personalized and preventative, and expand the scope of data-driven insights,” added Dobranowski.

Currently, MCI provides data insights as a service in six categories: rare disease; complex major medical/chronic; patient cohort building; clinical trial recruitment; synthetic health data and bespoke insights. Such services are targeted at pharmaceutical companies, life science companies, precision medicine companies and top-tier university centres.
