Our drive as a society has caused such rapid growth in technology that the world is becoming more connected and accessible, with many industries changing the way they operate to reflect this. MD Connected saw that there was room for technological growth in the healthcare system. This was identified after learning of countless Canadians who had trouble accessing medical services for various reasons such as medical facilities being too far from their home, difficulty leaving their home due to chronic illness, a lack of specialists in communities or spending countless hours in a waiting room to see a practitioner..

MD Connected’s mission is to increase the accessibility to quality healthcare for all Canadians, through technology, so no matter where they are, they can be heard and cared for. This requires a variety of solutions. Through constant growth and evaluation of our patient satisfaction, MD Connected can provide patients access to healthcare services through Virtual Care, Walk-in Clinics, Telemedicine Clinics, and Kiosks.

With the needs that MD Connected identified, creating a virtual system for patients to connect with doctors and specialists from the comfort of their own homes was an obvious solution. Virtual care through MD Connected allows patients to book consultations online and speak with a specialist through phone or secure video appointments. This helps those who struggle to leave the house for a regular doctor’s appointment or simply lack access to a family physician, have a more relaxing consultation experience.

You may think that all appointments need to happen in person, but many consultations are successful with discussions around your symptoms and past medical history. This is why virtual care is perfect for services that don’t rely heavily on detailed physical exams.

Some of the services that you could receive from virtual care include:

We understand that there are some who are hesitant about using virtual care. If you’re not comfortable connecting with a doctor virtually or require a more in-depth physical examination, MD Connected is expanding our services to provide in person doctors at various locations. MD Connected currently has 2 locations with doctors on-site with many more coming soon.

Our newest clinic is located inside Emkiro Health Services in heart of downtown Toronto and was launched at the beginning of 2022.

It is open Monday to Friday from 9am – 5 pm and is located on 70 University Avenue, Suite 120, Toronto, ON, M5J 2M4.

Virtual health is a great option for many, but what if you’re not the most tech-savvy? What if your internet access is unreliable? Or what if you just need help explaining your ailment to the doctor?

It is important to MD Connected to increase our patients’ access to healthcare in an easy and efficient way, so finding a solution for those who need assistance was critical. That is why MD Connected has set up telemedicine clinics in convenient locations with partners such as Rexall, Metro, and many more across Canada. Our goal is to add telemedicine clinics to underserviced communities that lack physicians to provide a quick and convenient solution for patients to see a doctor.

A telemedicine clinic works like any other walk-in clinic, only the doctor will communicate with you remotely through a large screen in a private room and an on-site nurse will be a part of the encounter the entire time. The nurse will assist with triage, history taking, and use modern technology to help facilitate the appointment between the doctor and patient including the use of smart medical peripherals. We like to classify this as an “Assisted Virtual Visit” with highly trained medical practitioners helping to enable the visit and providing the best possible care. Secure video conferencing technology is used to ensure confidentiality of any information discussed.

Our telemedicine clinics don’t require appointments. Stop by the clinic nearest to you for a walk-in consultation. Find it through the map locator on our website.

If you’re comfortable with using technology but don’t have access to what is needed for a virtual appointment, MD Connected thought of a solution for you as well! MD Connected has partnered with businesses throughout Canada to install not just telemedicine clinics, but secure self-help kiosks that can connect you with our physicians in minutes.

The kiosks are similar in nature to a virtual appointment with the major difference being that a team member, typically a pharmacist, is available to assist you at every kiosk location. You simply enter your information and reason for visit and a doctor will appear on the screen to assist you.

In many locations, you’ll also have the benefit of already being at a pharmacy to fill any prescriptions. Kiosks are just another way MD Connected strives to provide accessible care to all Canadians.
