Are Startups Shaping The Future Of Healthcare?

Healthcare Decisions-Chispa MagazineMom Decisions
As a mother, you’ve got to make many decisions. You need to manage your household; understanding property management strategies is wise. Also, you must have your finger on the pulse of healthcare trends that are defining the market. Unexpected things happen all the time, and these can severely impact the health of both you and your children. If your children are healthy, and you aren’t, how can you take care of them? If your children lose their health, and you don’t have some healthcare solution, how will you take care of them?

For either extreme, you need some solution. Now, there are a number of ways to go about acquiring security in this way. You can set money aside for emergencies, but unless you make a substantial amount of money, this probably won’t be enough for when the “rubber hits the road”, as the saying goes. Likewise, you can go with established solutions, but they may under-serve you for different reasons.

While the Affordable Care Act (which has proven ironically unaffordable for many) is on its way out, it hasn’t been fully excised yet. Healthcare premiums have doubled and worse for some people. Accordingly, many moms are seeking solutions elsewhere. One thing you might do is find a hybrid option to serve you.

For example, Medi-Share can halve your regular monthly payment on insurance if such a solution works for you. Something else to consider are startups that have come to change the market. It turns out that technology makes medicine more affordable in many respects. Consider telemedicine, as an example.

Remote Checkups
Tele-medicine uses computers and the internet to make checkups available remotely. If you’ve got a sick child who you suspect has strep throat, you can schedule a tele-medicine checkup with a doctor, hold the iPad camera to your child’s open throat, and perhaps receive a diagnosis.

Strep generally requires a swab to determine the presence of bacteria, but there are some things which can be determined in this new way. And you save a lot of time, as well as money, using a remote solution like this as a mom.

The technology industry and the medical industry have always been hand in hand. As technology develops, medical breakthroughs that were previously impossible become commonplace. As a result, many startups have solutions available to their customers in terms of healthcare that may not even be available through mainstream outlets.

If you’d like to learn more, check here; according to the site: “Whether a part requires stitching of terminals, molding of multiple inserts simultaneously, laser welding or wire attachment, we can help you with the proper assembly methods for your program… other types of assembly can offer benefits as well.”  Such advanced manufacture makes more intimate operations more available, affordable, and prominent.

How Healthcare Changes In Your Mid-Twenties
These things are especially considerable to young mothers, or single moms in their mid-twenties. If you’re not sure how to conduct yourself in terms of healthcare check this guide; according to the site: “When you’re turning 26, health insurance immediately becomes more of a concern. The Transition from being covered under a parent’s plan to finding coverage on your own can be quite daunting.”

As young mothers seek new startup solutions that are more affordable, and feature services unattainable through traditional means, naturally those startups will become more prominent. That prominence will certainly expand over time. Sometimes getting involved with such solutions at the ground floor can be a very wise choice.

That said, the new healthcare has yet to replace the old entirely. Until then, you may want to go the hybrid option. Secure something like Medi-Share which cuts your healthcare costs in half, and then seek out startup solutions to give yourself the fullest, and most affordable, coverage available.
