Curbside Health provides an on-demand, in‑home primary care platform that lets patients schedule same‑day visits with licensed clinicians via a mobile app. Clinicians use portable diagnostic kits and the system syncs encounter data to EMRs through a HIPAA‑compliant, FHIR‑compatible API, with telehealth fallback and integrated billing. The service is sold to health systems, employer health plans, and Medicare Advantage providers to expand home‑based preventive and urgent care.

Problem
Patients often face long wait times, transportation barriers, and limited clinic hours when seeking primary care or preventive screenings, leading to delayed diagnosis and reduced adherence to routine health maintenance.
Solution
Curbside Health operates an on-demand, in‑home care platform that dispatches licensed clinicians to a patient’s residence for primary care visits, preventive exams, and urgent assessments. The service is accessed through a mobile app or web portal where users can schedule same‑day appointments, select preferred visit windows, and receive real‑time clinician availability. Clinicians are equipped with portable diagnostic tools (e.g., digital stethoscopes, point‑of‑care testing kits) that enable clinical-grade examinations outside traditional facilities. All encounter data—including vitals, lab results, and clinical notes—are captured electronically and synced to the patient’s electronic medical record (EMR) via a HIPAA‑compliant API. The platform also offers a telehealth fallback for cases where an in‑home visit is not feasible, ensuring continuity of care. By integrating billing, insurance verification, and post‑visit follow‑up into the workflow, Curbside Health streamlines the entire care episode while maintaining clinical quality standards.
Target Audience
The primary customers are health systems, employer‑sponsored health plans, and Medicare Advantage providers seeking to extend primary and preventive care to members who require home‑based services.
