As health systems consider how to keep and acquire new patients, many recognize the value of providing their own branded online care for common medical conditions. As a white-labeled, turnkey solution, Zipnosis ensures digital-to-in person care continuity and reduces the complexity, time and expense for health systems considering building their own virtual care service line face.

"We rely on the powerful adaptive, asynchronous Zipnosis tool to help our clinicians provide patients with a diagnosis," said Dr. Wellesley Chapman, Medical Director of Innovation and Development, Group Health. "CareNow has proven popular in the marketplace and helped Group Health expand our online consumer toolset."
