Ever Health and telemedicine
Ever Health is a Madrid-based company, founded in 2015, leader in telemedicine, especially in children's medicine.
Thanks to the complete and innovative paediatric service (KIDSCARE), Ever Health is able to operate in more than 200 educational centres in Spain, serving more than 40,000 children. To provide these services, they have the most advanced technology, state-of-the-art equipment and medical professionals available in the schools during the school day. KIDSCARE can become a key differentiating feature among schools.
In addition to the services provided to the youngest members of the household, they also have the PEOPLECARE programme. This is a service designed to offer both companies and groups the possibility of having a complete medical service in the office and solve daily health problems. Today, Mapfre offers these services and, in turn, is present in companies and shopping centres.
By telemedicine we mean remote medicine. That is to say, it is often impossible for a patient to go to the hospital, which is why Ever Health has created a method, by means of a video call, with which patient and doctor can contact each other without having to go to the nearest hospital or health centre.
