Checkable Medical: Revolutionizing Home Healthcare and Telemedicine

 
 
Patty Post, Founder and CEO of Checkable Medical joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Healthcare Channels. Checkable is at the forefront of home healthcare and on a mission to revolutionize the healthcare industry by bringing fast and accurate at-home test kits, tele-health services, and a line of wellness supplements to your home.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Patty Post discuss the following:
Tell us more about yourself and Checkable and why you decided to implement at-home testing into the heart of your business.
What made you choose Strep as the basis for your clinical trials? Why not Pneumonia or Laryngitis or Croup?
Why should consumers choose you? What sets your brand and products aside from others?
So your at-home Strep test is still in clinical trials. Any idea when the test will get approved? On your website, I saw several other at-home testing kits coming soon. Are you able to share when those will be available for consumers?
As someone with a background in the healthcare industry, do you feel that consumers will see more at-home testing kits for illnesses and ailments? Will visits to the doctor’s office become less frequent and maybe obsolete?
As a parent and a patient, Patty Post founded Checkable Medical to help families like hers save time and reduce the cost of care through innovative at-home testing kits. With three kids constantly cycling through strep throat, Patty was taking hours off of work to get her family tested to receive treatment. From time in the car to waiting rooms to delayed appointments, giving up 4+ hours for a negative test result was exhausting. That’s why Patty created Checkable Medical in 2019, to help people make clinical, evidence-based decisions from the comfort of home.
With accurate results, easy-to-administer tests, and a mobile app connecting you to telemedicine and prescription providers, individuals and families can now test, diagnose, and get prescribed in a matter of minutes, not hours. As a medical device executive and CEO, Patty has first-hand knowledge of the healthcare industry and is passionate about educating and empowering communities to take charge of their health.
Patty is currently based in North Dakota and enjoys spending time with her family.
