** One Startup Connecting Physicians to Patients (http://www.1776.vc/insights/hipmed-global-health-access/)
------------------------------------------------------------

Martin De Leon, 1776

To address the disparity between access to healthcare and the increasing usage of smartphones, 1776 member Hipmed, is revolutionizing how patients and doctors communicate and expanding global access to health services.
