Healthcare is entering its most consequential era—not because we are replacing people with machines, but because, for the first time, all of the right ingredients are finally coming together.
Artificial intelligence is advancing at extraordinary speed. Clinicians are more open than ever to technology that can enhance—not replace—their judgment. Society is demanding healthcare that is accessible, equitable, and proactive. What has been missing is not intelligence or intent. What has been missing is access.
Because without access, information is irrelevant.
Without access, data is incomplete.
Without access, even the most powerful AI has nothing to learn from and nowhere to act.
This is where OnMed begins.
OnMed is a connected healthcare access platform built to solve the most foundational problem in healthcare: getting people access to care. At the center of the platform is the OnMed CareStation®—an 8’ x 10’ Clinic-in-a-Box that delivers real, human-led healthcare wherever it is placed.
The CareStation is a physical, walk-in healthcare environment equipped with integrated diagnostic tools, life-size video connection to licensed clinicians, and AI-enabled systems that support faster, smarter clinical decisions. No appointments. No long waits. Walk in, press start, and connect with a real clinician in seconds.
The CareStation is the front door—but it is also the footprint.
Because access is not the outcome. Access is the catalyst.
When people can reliably enter care through a consistent, trusted access point, everything downstream changes. Data becomes meaningful. Insights become real instead of theoretical.
Without that first step—getting people into care—every promise in healthcare collapses under its own weight.
Healthcare requires trust.
Trust requires human connection.
Every CareStation visit is delivered by a real clinician—listening, assessing, explaining, reassuring, and deciding. AI operates alongside them, not instead of them, surfacing insights, reducing cognitive load, and enabling faster, smarter decisions.
Humans are the last mile of healthcare—and they always should be.
Because healthcare is the most personal thing we have. When someone is sick, scared, or uncertain, they don’t want an algorithm. They want understanding. They want judgment. They want care.
AI reaches its full potential not when it replaces clinicians, but when it amplifies human expertise.
OnMed creates the environment where that partnership works. AI supports clinicians with pattern recognition and predictive insights. Clinicians apply context, empathy, and human judgment. Patients receive care that is both intelligent and deeply human.
This is not automation for efficiency’s sake.
This is intelligence in service of better human outcomes.
Every major platform that reshaped society required physical infrastructure. Electricity required a grid. The internet required physical endpoints. Cloud computing required distributed data centers.
Healthcare is no different.
OnMed provides a distributed, interoperable network of CareStations—8’ x 10’ access points deployed across workplaces, schools, campuses, rural communities, and public spaces. Together, they form a healthcare grid.
A grid where each CareStation is a node.
Where every visit fuels learning.
Where physical access enables digital intelligence.
This physical footprint is what allows intelligence to scale responsibly. It grounds AI in real-world environments, real diagnostics, and real human interactions—while generating high-quality data across populations.
As care flows through the platform, patterns begin to emerge. AI can surface early indicators, uncover previously invisible connections, and help predict what comes next. But population intelligence never replaces individual care. It strengthens it.
Insights gathered at scale flow back to the CareStation—where a clinician translates them into action for a single human being.
This is how healthcare becomes predictive without becoming impersonal.
OnMed is not building this future alone—and it shouldn’t.
The next era of healthcare will be built by partners who understand that the sum is greater than its parts. Access platforms. AI innovators. Clinicians. Health systems. Employers. Schools. Governments.
OnMed provides the access layer—the front door and the physical grid. Partners bring intelligence, innovation, and scale. Clinicians bring trust, empathy, and judgment.
Together, these pieces create a globally connected system capable of learning faster, sharing insight responsibly, and advancing care in ways that were never before possible.
We are standing at a rare moment in time.
The technology is ready.
The clinicians are ready.
The infrastructure is finally possible.
All of the ingredients for transformation are on the table. What’s required now is the decision to come together and build.
Not later.
Not cautiously.
Now.
Because when access is universal, intelligence is connected, and humans remain at the center, healthcare doesn’t just improve—it evolves.
OnMed is building the front door.
The CareStation.
The grid.
The foundation.
The question is no longer whether this future is possible. The question is whois willing to help build it.
The OnMed CareStation integrates AI-enabled clinical decision support into the care encounter, not as a replacement for clinical judgment, but as a tool that extends it. AI assists with clinical documentation, diagnostic pattern recognition, and care pathway guidance, allowing the licensed clinician to conduct a more efficient and thorough encounter. The CareStation is AI-amplified and always human, because healthcare requires trust, and trust requires human connection. The clinician makes the decisions. AI in the CareStation is infrastructure in service of the clinician, not a substitute for them.
Traditional telehealth expanded the reach of healthcare, but it did not close the gap. A video call can connect a patient to a provider, but it cannot hear a heartbeat, visualize an infection, measure blood pressure with clinical accuracy, or deliver the diagnostic confidence that most care decisions actually require. Many telehealth encounters end in deferred care precisely because the clinical picture is incomplete. Additionally, 1 in 5 Americans lack access to viable broadband for telehealth, meaning the populations who need care most are often the ones telehealth cannot reach at all. A telehealth kiosk is a fundamentally different category: a physical, self-contained clinical environment with integrated diagnostic tools that delivers a complete clinical encounter, vitals, examination, diagnosis, and treatment in a single on-site visit. The OnMed CareStation® fully treats 86% of patients inside the CareStation without redirection to a specialist, urgent care, or emergency department, operating on dual broadband and satellite connectivity to reach communities that traditional telehealth cannot serve. A video visit also cannot run a lab test, which matters for chronic disease management.
80% of CareStation users have no primary care provider. For many, the CareStation is the first time they have experienced care they can count on. The CareStation operates on dual broadband and satellite connectivity, reaching communities that traditional telehealth cannot serve. It requires no construction, no permanent staffing, and deploys in 45 days (about 60 days for Tribal communities), making it viable for rural counties, tribal lands, correctional facilities, urban underserved neighborhoods, and any community where the infrastructure to deliver care has been absent for decades. The CareStation's 4.96 out of 5 patient satisfaction score reflects what happens when people who have been systematically excluded from the healthcare system finally have a front door. It can be placed in workplaces, educational institutions, government facilities, and community settings.
Across non-education deployments, 37% of CareStation patients return voluntarily within 12 months with no reminder, no mandate, and nothing forcing their hand. In a healthcare system where urgent care follow-up rates are below 8% and retail clinic chains have shuttered nationwide after failing to earn continuity, that 37% is not a utilization metric. It is a trust metric. It represents patients who experienced care that felt worth returning to—care that resolved their condition, gave them clarity about next steps, and made them feel genuinely cared for. Trust built that return rate. And in a healthcare system that has failed for decades to earn continuity with underserved populations, trust is the outcome that precedes every other outcome.
The CareStation treats everyday conditions such as colds, flu and COVID, pink eye, allergies, bronchitis and asthma, rashes, acid reflux, headaches, back and muscle strains, and medication refills. It also supports management of chronic conditions including hypertension, diabetes, asthma, obesity. Today, clinicians screen for depression and anxiety and connect patients to community resources. In 2027, OnMed will expand mental health care for adults to include mild-to-moderate anxiety and depression, insomnia, grief, burnout and acute stress, perinatal depression, and SSRI/SNRI medication management, with a psychiatric nurse practitioner consulting.
