Creating a marketplace for evidence-based digital treatments

Whether preparing for a surgery, understanding a new diagnosis, or managing recovery, many patients experience anxiety, helplessness and a sense of isolation caused by a lack of connection to peers or care professionals. Curatio has developed a social platform to address these challenges by connecting patients to peers in a professionally curated environment. Curatio saw an opportunity to adapt their existing platform and create a marketplace for evidence-based treatment programs addressing less-common conditions that likely do not justify the creation of their own standalone platform. Digital Health Circle provided short-duration non-dilutive funding and project management services to help Curatio offset costly contracted development work to create an MVP of their marketplace. Additionally, Digital Health Circle helped enhance the initial offering of treatment programs by connecting Curatio with local researchers and businesses that have developed evidence-based treatment programs. As a result of this project, Curatio was able to quickly seize a new opportunity and successfully develop a novel approach to treatment management giving patients the ability to access the specific services that best meet their unique individual needs.
