Parachute Health is proud to be named among the 2022 NYC Digital Health 100. The list is released annually to recognize "the most innovative and exciting health startups in the New York area" by NYC Health Business Leaders, a network of senior professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders active in New York’s healthcare ecosystem.
Parachute Health was included because of its best-in-class DME ordering technology, the first to introduce ePrescribing to a previously neglected area of healthcare with an end-to-end DME ePrescribing platform.
Prior to the creation of the Parachute Platform, most DME orders were completed by fax or other dated and error-prone methods, with many patients waiting weeks or months to receive vital DME and supplies such as mobility devices, supplemental oxygen, diabetes monitoring and testing devices, and other items essential to their safety and quality of life.
Parachute Health is revolutionizing healthcare through seamless DME ePrescribing, making it possible for providers, facilities, and suppliers to slash waste and endless paperwork, increasing efficiency and virtually eliminating lost and delayed orders. The average time to complete an order using the Parachute Platform was 1-3 minutes in 2021, compared to up to an hour or more per order with paper-based methods.
Features like automated documentation review, SMS signatures, real-time messaging, tracking options, and reporting ensure seamless communication and transparency across providers, clinicians, and suppliers from the moment an order is placed through payment and delivery. Supported product categories include everything from diabetes care and management to mobility devices, from wound care to supplemental oxygen and CPAP, and Parachute Health's catalog team updates product listings regularly.
With its range of digital solutions, Parachute powers providers, administrators and suppliers to make data-driven decisions for improved resource utilization and optimal patient outcomes.
Parachute Health joins other New York area healthcare sector standouts including Quit Genius, a smoking and substance use cessation app, Vori Health, a virtual platform for integrated pain management, and AICure, a data and analytics company that uses AI to improve the landscape of clinical trial and other health research data. To qualify for inclusion, companies must maintain a headquarters or major office in the New York metropolitan area and must have raised at least Series A round funding.
"Our company was born inside New York’s hospitals. ... [and] we've expanded nationally to all 50 states to help thousands of facilities and providers and millions of patients"
"Our company was born inside New York’s hospitals," said Parachute Health founder and CEO David Gelbard in his video comments. "Since our humble beginnings, we've expanded nationally to all 50 states to help thousands of facilities and providers and millions of patients, and we're proud of our start in New York City."
