Innovator Health builds virtual physician services and telemedicine systems so patients feel a person in the room — not a gadget between them and their care.
Innovator Health was inspired by Dr. Sommer’s service in Afghanistan. After completing his Internal Medicine residency in 2006, he joined the 82nd Airborne Division and spent more than a year caring for injured U.S. service members and local nationals. Access to medical colleagues through the Army’s telemedicine infrastructure helped deliver a higher level of care in austere conditions. That experience shapes the company’s work today: bring the same kind of access to communities at home.
