Curai Health Partners with Tufts Medicine to Expand Access to Virtual Care
Partnership delivering high quality, virtual-first care to patients
Boston, March 27, 2024 — Today, Curai Health, an AI-powered virtual clinic, announced a new partnership with Tufts Medicine to expand access to high-quality, convenient virtual care to Tufts Medicine patients across Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
“We are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to provide our patients with high-quality care that is both affordable and convenient,” said Frank Osborn, MD, Chief Medical Officer for the Tufts Medicine Integrated Network. “Adding more virtual care options alongside our existing services is a clear step towards enhancing our virtual-first program and ensuring our patients receive the care they need, when and where they need it.”
By using a new feature in the MyTuftsMed patient portal app, patients will be able to share clinical concerns and then either connect with a Tufts Medicine clinician in person or receive virtual care powered by Curai. Patients directed to virtual care will be able to chat with a licensed clinician within minutes, at any hour of the day or night. Patients who need in-person care after a virtual appointment will be referred to in-person physicians within the Tufts Medicine network.
“Tufts Medicine is an integrated health system at the cutting edge of delivering innovative and convenient care solutions to its patients,” said Neal Khosla, CEO and cofounder of Curai Health. “They are setting the bar for how to expand access to care in a low-cost, consumer-friendly way. We’re totally aligned with Tufts Medicine in our vision to increase access to personalized primary care. This model demonstrates how brick-and-mortar health systems can offer lower costs and greater access to their patients.”
