Avado Aims To Be The Salesforce.com Of Personal Health Records

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".
