One of the core selling points of virtual care is accessibility. Across geographical divides, where access can be impeded by a lack of brick-and-mortar providers, virtual care can serve as a great equalizer. But without tailored solutions, virtual care cannot be truly equal.
Men and women experience healthcare differently due to biological, social, or behavioral factors, with unique drivers and barriers to care. But traditional care models often fail to account for these differences. Virtual care can and should be adaptable and responsive to these unique needs.
Fortunately, society is moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach.
Care that considers unique barriers.
Some barriers to care are universal, like cost or availability. But other barriers, such as stigmas or caregiving responsibilities, may be more gender-specific.
Accessibility is often one of the primary benefits of DTC care, as it allows people to get faster, more convenient care. But unlike other providers, MD Live understands the unique barriers to care that men and women face. Here are some of the most common barriers and how MD Live addresses them:
Removing barriers allows men and women to get the care they need when they need it.
Personalized, integrated care for men and women.
Unlike specialized DTC services, MD Live offers comprehensive care backed by clinical rigor to guide patients through their entire care journey. With MD Live, patients get integrated care across our urgent care, primary care, and behavioral health solution suite.
