This document outlines a proposal for an alternative healthcare system called "HelloHealth" that utilizes modern technologies like social media and mobile devices. It notes some key issues with the current system such as rising costs, inefficiencies, and lack of prevention. HelloHealth aims to connect patients and doctors through an online network to facilitate more convenient and less expensive care like remote consultations, transparent pricing, and a focus on wellness over procedures. Doctors would be paid hourly for their time rather than per procedure to encourage preventative care. The goal is to leverage internet technologies to lower costs and improve access and relationships between doctors and patients.
