Going to the doctor is a hassle. There’s so much to do before you get on the exam table: playing phone tag to schedule an appointment; then waiting for weeks or even months for your visit; finding a ride; dealing with parking; navigating a busy hospital or office building; waiting in line to check in; sitting in the waiting room when your doctor is inevitably running behind. Phew, that’s a lot to deal with. And that’s all before you even get facetime with your doctor.

And after you make it through that complicated process, most doctor’s visits only last about 15 minutes (1). It’s difficult—maybe even impossible—to get quality care and establish a medical partnership when you only get a few 15-minute appointments per year. What do you do if a new health issue or symptom appears? Go through the whole process again, meaning you have to wait up to two months for another appointment? We’re exhausted just thinking about it!

At Docroad, we believe there’s a better way.

Our innovative telehealth service eliminates wait times, traffic, driving, parking—basically, we take away the hassle. Your doctor comes to you, from your pocketable clinic called PocketDR, in the comfort of your own home. We’ll collaborate with you to find the best treatment for your needs. We empower you to take charge of your own health—but you’ll never have to do it alone. The burden isn’t on you to tell us when your health changes; we’ll be on top of it in real time.

How are we so on top of your changing health needs?

With remote health monitoring. Your physician helps you stay on track by constantly monitoring your health: blood sugar, blood pressure, blood oxygen, symptom frequency, and more. Daily monitoring means you don’t slip through the cracks—we know right away if your health needs change. We are always a phone call away, and even offer same-day care appointments.

Our overburdened healthcare system often means wait times of weeks or even months. With DocRoad, you’ll never wait for medical care again. When a new or sudden health need arises, you need to see your doctor ASAP. We make that possible. With DocRoad on your side, we’ll know instantly when your health needs change. We’ll work with you to find solutions, without the waiting or worrying.

Using simple medical devices, we constantly monitor your health, remotely. And the best part? These devices are completely covered by Medicare. In fact, if you’ve got Medicare, all your medical needs are covered with Docroad. Our services—including remote monitoring and telehealth services—are available at no out-of-pocket cost for Medicare patients.

Remote health monitoring is especially important for patients with chronic conditions. 6 in 10 Americans have a chronic illness, and 4 in 10 have multiple illnesses (2). By definition, chronic illnesses are long-term, which means your health needs will probably change over time. We’ll catch these changes in real time, and get in touch with you immediately so we can adjust your treatment plan. 

You may be thinking that this all sounds pretty great...but also a little overwhelming. We get it, healthcare can be complicated. But we make it easy, and we would love to answer your questions or concerns. Give us a call at 833-436-2762 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. E.S.T. Monday through Friday. We’d love to give you more info and schedule your first appointment. 

Your journey to better health starts today, with a simple phone call to Docroad. Give us a call and we’ll take it from there.
