PLYMOUTH – ChatRx, a medical technology firm specializing in AI-powered healthcare solutions, has launched its telemedicine platform to address the challenge of accessing immediate care for acute illnesses. The company was founded by Dr. Tod Stillson, a seasoned family physician with over three decades of clinical experience who serves as CEO.
Dr. Stillson, drawing from his extensive background in primary care, identified a significant gap in healthcare delivery – the difficulty patients face in getting timely appointments when acutely sick. “After 30 years as a family doctor in a small town, I saw firsthand how people struggled to get in to see a doctor when they needed it most,” Dr. Stillson explained. “Acute illness isn’t predictable, and when people get sick, they often call the doctor’s office only to be told there are no same-day appointments available, with the soonest being two weeks away.”
This common scenario creates a dilemma for patients needing immediate attention. ChatRx aims to bridge this gap by providing a telemedicine solution that connects patients with healthcare providers more quickly. The platform represents a significant step forward in leveraging technology to enhance patient care and accessibility.
