SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Helping
America get back to work and in the office safely, StreamMD, a
concierge COVID-19 at-home testing and telemedicine platform
launches to help businesses make sure their employees can safely
return to the workplace and engage in customer interaction.
StreamMD offers a full-service solution that allows licensed
physicians to screen, test, and treat patients with FDA/EUA
home-collection kits, and clear employees with a certification
process to return to work. Since this is all done at home and can
provide clearance results within 48 hours, employees do not have to
leave their home to get tested, helping to minimize community
spread and mitigate person-to-person infection. Telemedicine
doctors are available to guide patients through the testing
process. If test results come back positive for COVID-19, StreamMD
treats and monitors those employees telephonically or via video and
will send patients to the hospital if symptoms are severe enough.
Additionally, as we head into flu season this fall, StreamMD will
be able to determine if a patient has the seasonal flu or
COVID-19.
"The economy has taken a tumble and we want to get America back
to work, but the only way to safely do that is to actively test
employees. StreamMD wants to play an active role in making that
happen," says StreamMD Co-Founder Dr. Ricardo Soltero, who tested positive for
COVID-19 in April.
StreamMD was quick and easy. The platform makes it easy to
verify that everyone in the operating room truly tested
negative for COVID-19. Whereas conventional testing sites can take
between 7-9 days for results, StreamMD gave us results in 48 hours.
The doctors were able to witness our tests and quickly certify our
reps' wellbeing and then follow those that needed further medical
care." - Michael Nitsch, Independent
Biotronik Sales Distributor
StreamMD is partnering with leaders in certain sectors and
industries that have both essential and non-essential employees
that require a negative COVID-19 test result and a return-to-work
letter in order to safely perform their job functions. COVID-19 is
also disproportionately impacting African American and LatinX
populations, and in response, StreamMD is actively developing
partnerships to make its services available to impacted
communities.
StreamMD was founded by a group of physicians who partnered with
an existing concierge telemedicine platform called Opt Health that
focuses on addressing and optimizing men's health. Opt Health
Founder and CEO Camilo Isaza says,
"We worked with the doctors of StreamMD to repurpose portions of
our technology to create a new product line, but more importantly,
to meaningfully contribute to the global fight against the COVID-19
pandemic."
Dr. Soltero says, "We wanted to make a difference and help
during these unprecedented times, and we believe that StreamMD is
an invaluable tool that both businesses and consumers can utilize
to stay safe, healthy, and productive."
Currently, StreamMD has been engaged by medical device
companies, co-working spaces, home healthcare agencies, small
businesses, and others.
