How ZiphyCare Is Innovating With Hi-Tech Home Health Visits to Help Extend Care to All

The massive spike in telehealth post-Covid is one of the silver linings of the pandemic. House calls are massively convenient and that means patients get seen more frequently. Americans only see the doctor 4x a year on average, compared to 6-10x for Europe and 13x for Japan. The problem is that people who need care the most - the elderly and disabled are least likely to use technology or cannot afford even a high bandwidth internet. That's where ZiphyCare comes in. The company sends trained medical assistants (MAs) to the patient's home equipped with a ‘ZiphyKit’ - a patented medical suitcase that contains a laptop, wifi, and everything the doctor needs for a thorough remote medical exam including our otoscope, stethoscope, EKG, ultrasound and other instruments.

I caught up with CEO Rada Sumareva to find out more about this unique offering and what inspired her to create ZiphyCare. Dr. Rada Sumareva has been a healthcare provider for 25 years servicing patients with multiple chronic conditions, many of whom come from the most vulnerable communities – the elderly, people with disabilities, people living in care deserts and the economically disadvantaged. She’s also been involved in a number of health initiatives helping at-risk patients get better access to care, providing health education, raising awareness and improving compliance through her professional and non-profit affiliations (community boards, Henry Schein Cares, United Healthcare, UJA Federation and others).
