Most people struggle to find the right specialists to address their medical questions. Many rely on referrals from friends, while others use internet searches to find a doctor within a 10-mile radius. Unfortunately, this can lead to frustration and limited choices.
Recent technical advances in secure communication and data structuring and analysis have created an opportunity for those with a medical condition or diagnosis to access the best possible experts. At Summus, our solution brings together the latest technology and physician-led guidance for specialist matching and unique access.
