Amwell CEO Roy Schoenberg to Speak at Stanford Disability & Telehealth Conference
17 May 2024 - 6:05AM
Amwell® (NYSE: AMWL), a leader in hybrid care enablement, today
announced its Co-CEO and President, Roy Schoenberg, M.D., M.P.H.,
will speak at the Disability & Telehealth Conference at 12:15
PST on Saturday, May 18. The virtual conference explores barriers
to telehealth enhancement for those with disabilities and the
innovative solutions underway to advance healthcare accessibility.
Schoenberg will participate in the virtual panel, “Technology
and Bold Solutions for Accessible Telehealth.” The session will
focus on big tech’s role in driving innovations to meet the unique
needs of patients with disabilities and will highlight the
strategies and approaches that can fill care and accessibility gaps
and improve health equity. Schoenberg will be joined by leaders
from Stanford Medicine, Stanford Health Care, Zoom and Apple.
“The one in four adults in the U.S. who live with a disability
that prevents them from accessing healthcare deserve better from
the industry that is essential for their vitality,” said
Schoenberg. “Virtual care is a bridge that can connect individuals
to the care they need, helping to overcome physical, societal, and
communication barriers and a lack of accessible medical equipment
or transportation. I’m glad to represent Amwell in this important
conversation that’s increasing prioritization for healthcare to
become more equitable and inclusive for all.”
Amwell solutions prioritize improving access to quality
healthcare for everyone, including those with disabilities.
Patients can access care from anywhere with standard cellular
coverage or internet connection, reducing the need to travel to
in-person appointments and check-ins. Language and communication
barriers are addressed with Interpreter Services and accessibility
features enabled on Amwell Converge™, a WCAG-conformant
platform.
