Daily News | A new approach to primary care for seniors is taking shape in Philadelphia at Patina Health
, but those companies still have clinics. Patina instead sends caregivers, usually a registered nurse or a nurse practitioner, to patients’ homes, where they virtually dial in a doctor over a tablet when necessary.
Stoddard said Patina has been appealing to more tech-savvy and healthier seniors because they are used to on-demand services like Amazon Prime, Netflix, and DoorDash. It also appeals to seniors who have a hard time getting to their primary care doctor, he said.An IBC executive, Kortney Kruz, praised Patina for trying “a new approach and model to care for a population we care tremendously about.”
IBC is pleased with what it has seen so far from Patina, but it is far too early to evaluate the company’s clinical results, Kruz said.Pinsky was skeptical when he first heard about Patina. “Oh yes, this is another one of those companies that uses technology, but they don’t really care about you,” he thought.
Pinsky reports that things are good so far with Patina. “They promised to come to you, which they do. They are available anytime,” he said. “If I write them in the middle of the day, I get a response in five or 10 minutes.”
