Hygeia Health founder

Telemedicine Startup Hygeia Health

Ricardo Ibarria is the founder of Hygeia Health, a start up that has developed the Hygeia Health Station. It’s not your typical health startup idea. It’s not an app, a wearable or a SaaS. It’s an actual, Made-in-America, telehealth product. Hygeia is currently piloting the Hygeia Health Station which increases engagement and adoption in telehealth services in large covered population settings such as employers or schools. The potential for the Hygeia Health station extends as far as developing countries. As long as electricity is available, telehealth services can be delivered.

Patient Engagement with Facebook

July 14, 2015 Janet Kennedy Get Social Health, Podcast 00:37:53 0 Comments

Dr. Justin Smith is a pediatrician active in social media. Unlike a lot of physicians, he chose Facebook as his primary platform for patient engagement. Many physicians shy away from Facebook because of concerns that Facebook will require a lot of time to monitor or that comments could get out of hand. Dr. Smith understands a very important rule of marketing; find out where your audience is and go there to engage with them. Known as The Doc Smitty, Justin Smith engages, educates and entertains on his Facebook page providing a wide variety of information from swimming pool safety to stomach bugs to concerns about plugged in kids. His Facebook page fans love to share and comment on his posts and he rarely has to deal with “TMI.” Listen in to our conversation or jump in at the time stamps below.
