Home is the Best Place to Heal
As an air ambulance physician, Dr. Gelena Lifchitz saw first-hand the deep need for quality care in rural communities around the globe. She witnessed how patients with limited mobility receive a delay in care, and how limited diagnostic capabilities disable telemedicine, causing misdiagnosis and poor outcomes. As a result, she was purpose-driven to build a Decentralized diagnostic platform that could be utilized anywhere. Today the DIA platform is deployed by International Clinical Research Organizations, home health agencies, and private practices.
