You can’t be too healthy, nor can you be too “tele-healthy.” Allow us to explain.
Sure, there are times when you must be in the same room with your physician. Major surgery leaps to mind, although that’s not 100% accurate as some “tele-surgeries” do occur. That’s for a future ranking we haven’t invented yet, so let’s stick to diagnostics and support apps.
The latest PYMNTS Provider Ranking of Telemedicine Apps packs a few surprises, which itself is surprising among this earnest group of highly qualified telemed providers. But chart positions can come and go like a nurse quietly taking one’s vital signs, and that’s on tap this cycle.
Lab coats on as we make the rounds through the new ranking.
The Top 5
Still at No. 1 these many months is the MyTeleMed, HIPAA compliant and doing well.
At No. 2 — the office next door, as it were — the Teladoc app still hangs its shingle.
We’ve got a tie at No. 3 as Doctor On Demand, already so-ranked, makes room for K Health | Primary Care moving up one chart position.
Continuing now with telemedicine apps that haven’t moved, we’ve got BetterHelp: Online Counseling & Therapy holding it down at No. 4, as they did last cycle.
At No. 5 it was and still is MDLIVE, which just entered the Top 5 last month. Well done.
The Top 10
Here’s something unexpected. Catapulting into the Top 10 at No. 6 this month it’s the HealthTap — 24/7 Telemedicine with free patient texting to primary care physicians. Cool.
Up two chart positions since last cycle it’s the LiveHealth Online Mobile app taking No. 7, and a very tidy gain it is.
The Vsee Clinic For Patient is unchanged at No. 8. This one never fails to chart.
At No. 9 and down a spot in the process it’s Maple — 24/7 Online Doctors.
Taking us out on a tumble of three chart positions since last month it’s the InTouch Patient app at No. 10, completing our rounds for this Provider Ranking of Telemedicine Apps.
We’re always on the lookout for opportunities to partner with innovators and disruptors.
