Dr. Paul Flatley – Telemedicine – SIV #047 Shownotes

The wait is finally over!

Dr. Paul Flatley is the founder of Direct2MD. D2MD is a telemedicine company that he founded almost 2 years ago.

For the 6 years prior to founding Direct2MD, Paul was the Medical Director for Arizona’s busiest Emergency Room. His department averaged a staggering 75,000 ER visits per year. When I first met Dr. Paul, I immediately was fascinated by him, his business model, and his mission.

Broken Promises?

For more than 15 years, there has been the promise that someday in the

near future, most doctors’ visits could be done via a webcam. Well, the technology didn’t really exist until recently (that darn HIPPA got in the way) but that all has changed and I believe the future is finally here!

Organizations like Dr. Paul’s Direct2MD are uniquely positioned to radically change the entire healthcare landscape.
