    Great analogy. What if patients took their health into their own hands and used the healthcare system the “right” way and went to their annual appointments? What if there was a way to remind them to go to these appointments? With this being possible, less patients would have to feel the pressure of having that emergency situation and not knowing which path to take.

    HealthLeap provides appointments 24/7 by verified physicians and promotes preventative health, because no one wants to have to feel the anxiety of who to trust in an emergency.
