The Future of the Medical Office?

Located in downtown San Francisco, Forward is an interesting new model for healthcare delivery. It is a meld between an Apple store, a high-end medical office, and a chic members-only health club.We learned about Forward, and its cutting edge delivery model by way of TechCrunch.

The idea of incorporating technology to make healthcare more accessible to the masses has been a growing trend. Health-insurer and insurance-technology startups raised more than $1.2 billion in venture funding in 2015. For perspective, that’s more than double the $570 million raised in 2014, and 10 times the $123 million raised in 2013, according to CB Insights, a data company that tracks private startups and venture capital. With venture capital dollars pouring into the healthcare industry, many predict tech-heavy healthcare delivery models will gain more traction (and market share) in upcoming years.

Is this the future of healthcare? We are excited to see where it goes…
