The interaction between patients and health care providers has become convoluted with time consuming bureaucracy. Even more so when urgent or immediate care is needed. With the advent of data-driven and user-friendly applications, patients are increasingly looking for a straight forward and direct approach to health care access and scheduling. Too often, the patient’s only option is to call from office to office, only to be turned down or referred to someone else. Our goal is to simplify the process by allowing instant, direct and transparent interaction.
Open2Care is a unique web & mobile native application, which aims to democratize health care by making it accessible and open for everyone who needs care, especially urgent care.
