This effort to bring in several of the leading minds in applied telehealth was orchestrated by Paula Guy, CEO of Global Partnership for TeleHealth.

Paula Guy, CEO stated, “it has been my vision to bring together a team of this caliber that the industry has yet to see. The time has finally come for ‘the father of telemedicine’, an astronaut physician, and a very gifted geneticist to work with us to lead the company in changing lives all over the world.”
TIP is focusing on increasing access to healthcare through innovative use of technology including telemedicine and health information exchange. “This is a perfect storm and the nature of this type of company is unheard of in the telehealth arena, but the opportunities to impact global health like never before has finally arrived,” stated Matt Jansen, CDO of TeleHealth International Partnership.
The e-clinical enabled platforms TIP has adopted have a wide range of customization, interoperability and portability. “It’s not about the technology any longer.

The network currently has over 300 patient locations and over 200 specialists and healthcare providers representing 40+ specialties. “We have seen clinical utilization climb exponentially.
