About Us

We deliver solutions that eliminate friction points in the patient encounter as we create end-to-end efficiencies in the clinic

company history

Founded in 2016 to revolutionize healthcare through automation and artificial intelligence (AI), bringing top-tier technology and process design to patient engagement and provider consultation.
Our mission is to enable providers to deliver the best on-demand experience while accelerating operations, and are focused on urgent care – an industry that does the same thing millions of times over, and arguably not very efficiently.
AdviNOW started in fully automated retail clinics with a medical assistant and remote providers, and built the platform as a digital-first in-person or virtual care that eliminated any steps that AI could augment; however, the “digital front door” is the true problem to solve first.
Expanded to a suite of products that work closely together, or work fine as standalone modules – both patient facing white-label solutions and care team-facing.
Headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ, and part of the Mayo Clinic Innovation Exchange incubator.
