Braid Health Announces Nationwide Partnership with Walmart Health
Braid Health announces a nationwide partnership with Walmart Health to enable fast, seamless clinical diagnostics to Walmart Health patients.
Braid Health is excited to announce they will provide Walmart Health patients a unified patient experience via access to a comprehensive digital health platform across primary care, dental care, and optometry. Braid will integrate with Epic’s software platform, and will be utilized in Walmart Health locations beginning early 2022.
Our team of top technology and healthcare industry experts created Braid, a first-of-its-kind FDA-cleared technology platform that instantly shares health data across any center, specialty, or modality. Our decentralized, crypto-secure healthcare operating system was built to provide immediate access to expert diagnostics (e.g., pathology, radiology, etc.) to improve healthcare provider collaboration, patient care, and health outcomes. Our core philosophy is that innovation in digital health should walk hand-in-hand with data privacy and security and be available to all patients.
Only eight percent of adults living in the United States aged 35 or older receive all government recommended, high-priority, appropriate clinical preventive services, and nearly five percent receive none. These astonishing percentages and the ongoing problem of health inequity have been further amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to additional delays and barriers to access to clinical care. The majority of the United States’ population does not currently receive needed healthcare prevention or disease management. In addition, delays in the turnaround times of diagnostic test results directly negatively impact time-sensitive clinical interventions and patients’ healthcare experience. Braid Health created Braid with a mission to solve unneeded delays and enable real-time sharing of clinical diagnostics.
“For the first time, a single platform has the power to bring together previously disparate health data streams into a unified patient experience. Braid’s partnership with Walmart will help give millions of patients fast convenient access to healthcare, reduce cost, and improve all-round efficiency. No one should have to needlessly wait for diagnostic results when we have the ability to leverage technology to provide those results in real-time.”
- Kevin Quennesson, CEO and Co-Founder, Braid Health
“Partnering with Braid will support our efforts to leverage high quality, best-in-class technology platforms that will improve patient engagement and outcomes, as well as enable patients control of their clinical diagnostic results. Through implementing Braid’s platform into our Walmart Health Centers, we can deliver a more streamlined patient experience and improve health equity across our Walmart Health Centers.”
- Dr. Soujanya (Chinni) Pulluru, Senior Director of Clinical Transformation and Operations, Walmart Health & Wellness
