Announcing a first-of-its-kind partnership with Thread Health

Revolutionizing teen healthcare with real-time specialist access.

‍

PicassoMD, Inc., a leading platform that connects healthcare providers for real-time clinical decision support, referrals, and care coordination, and Thread Health, the premier healthcare provider dedicated to adolescents and their families, are proud to announce a partnership aimed at closing the gap in care for teens, a historically underserved population of 70 million.

This collaboration will enable pediatric and family practice providers nationwide to connect with Thread Health’s specialized clinical teams in real time. Adolescent medicine physicians tend to focus their practice on the inpatient setting, reducing access to them for many adolescent patient providers. Their expert medical advice and care coordination, previously unavailable outside the hospital setting, is now available on PicassoMD with the tap of a button.

PicassoMD and Thread Health share a common mission of making healthcare more accessible, efficient, and patient-centered. Co-founded by a cardiologist, PicassoMD has transformed how Primary Care Providers (PCPs) deliver care by enabling real-time clinical consultations with specialists across more than 30 specialties in under 30 seconds.

Additionally, PicassoMD’s seamless referral process ensures continuity of care and enhances patient satisfaction, making it easier for teens and their families to receive the care they need without unnecessary delays.

“At PicassoMD, one of our primary missions is to redefine specialty access to providers caring for our youngest and most vulnerable populations. We are honored to announce that PicassoMD has partnered with Thread Health to provide immediate expertise for our pediatric and family medicine providers caring for adolescent patients.”

- Dr. Reza Sanai, co-founder and Co-CEO of PicassoMD.

The partnership between PicassoMD and Thread Health is poised to deliver impressive results, including:

• Enhanced Access to Care: Providers can consult with Thread Health specialists in real-time to triage patient care, reducing the need for emergency department visits and lengthy wait times for appointments.
• Improved Clinical Outcomes: Specialist input leads to more accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans, enhancing the overall quality of care for adolescents.‍
• Cost-Effective Solutions: By reducing unnecessary referrals and emergency department visits, this partnership supports value-based care models that prioritize both quality and cost-efficiency.

“Our partnership with PicassoMD highlights Thread Health’s mission to rethink care delivery for teens and improve access to high quality care for adolescents and families. This is a first-of-its-kind relationship for teen and value-based digital health, made possible with PicassoMD’s technology.”

- Paul Julius, CEO at Thread Health.
