Why Firefly Health?

A few years ago I was approaching a major birthday and doing the kind of thinking one does at those moments in life. I’d had success in my role at Harvard and had a clear path to more of it. I loved taking care of patients and felt I’d finally reached the point of being a pretty darn good doctor. Yet I had a gnawing sense that continuing on my current path would leave me feeling that I could have done more to bring about the revolution in health care quality, safety and cost we urgently need in the U.S. and around the world.

Firefly's Blueprint for Reimagining Technology

One of the most obvious differences between Firefly Health and traditional health care providers is our emphasis on digital technology. People use our app to sign up, schedule visits, send us messages, conduct video visits, and track their health goals. And that list is growing every day. For us, technology is not just a means to an end—it is core to how we care for people.
