Healthcare is expensive, and it's increasingly suffering from overinflation. It seems that, while what we pay for consumer goods has tended to increase at a normal rate, healthcare costs have sky-rocketed in comparison. Quite a few startups have popped up of late that are attempting to bring disruptive vision to healthcare costs in the U.S., like the National Surgery Network , a sort of Hotwire for access to top surgical facilities, and MedLion , a group of doctors in Silicon Valley providing cheap primary to uninsured and insured patients alike, to name a few. Avado , a startup launching at Disrupt NYC today, is partnering with healthcare businesses like the two mentioned above to provide a "Patient Relationship Management" platform, in an attempt to create a more communicative relationship between patient and doctor by way of "Connected Health Records".
