Imagine walking into a mall or office building and coming across a unique, shed-sized structure. These are not your ordinary buildings; they are autonomous “AI doctor’s offices” called CarePod clinics. Developed by startup Forward, these state-of-the-art clinics offer individuals the convenience of private checkups and assessments for various health conditions.

Whether it's monitoring heart health, mental health, cancer risk, kidney health, or other vital signs, CarePod clinics have got it covered. One of the most enticing aspects is that the service starts at just $99 per month and does not require insurance. With no co-pays or unexpected bills, the cost is all-inclusive.

Forward CEO Adrian Aoun expresses his ambitious plan by stating, “We want to be on every street corner." The ultimate goal is to expand their reach even to regions like Rwanda, where access to quality healthcare is limited.

The initial deployment of these clinics will take place in malls, office buildings, and gyms across cities such as San Francisco Bay Area, New York, Chicago (Willis Tower), and Philadelphia. This expansion is made possible thanks to the recent injection of $100 million in capital secured by Forward. Investors include prominent names like Khosla Ventures, Founders Fund, Tencent Holdings, former StumbleUpon CEO Garrett Camp, and venture capital extraordinaire John Doerr.

The concept of CarePod clinics builds upon Forward's initial vision from 2017. The pioneering medical facilities redefine healthcare by incorporating cutting-edge technology. With spacious 3,500-square-foot offices equipped with interactive displays and state-of-the-art body scanners collecting data through wearable sensors, patients receive top-notch care in a technologically advanced environment.

Witness the revolution as AI-driven CarePod clinics bring affordable and comprehensive healthcare right to your neighborhood.

Forward: Revolutionizing Healthcare

"We are democratizing health care; it should be available to anyone at any time," stated Aoun, a former executive of Alphabet Inc. and co-founder of Forward. In collaboration with Ilya Abyzov, an executive from Uber Technologies Inc., Erik Frey from Google, and Rob Sebastian from GoogleX, Forward aims to reshape the way healthcare is delivered.

Innovative Medical Facilities

Forward's flagship medical facilities bear a striking resemblance to an Apple Store. As soon as you step inside, a captivating display showcases cutting-edge health devices such as a wearable blood pressure cuff, a digital glucometer, and a portable EKG monitor.

Beyond this remarkable display lies a body scanner adorned with sensors that precisely measure a patient's height, weight, and heart rate. These valuable data points are then promptly fed into Forward's advanced AI system and its very own mobile app - the member's first destination.

In a matter of minutes, the results are computed and displayed on a sizable screen dominating the examination room. A doctor skillfully highlights the most pertinent information based on the intricate body scan, a subsequent blood test, and DNA analysis.

Nationwide Accessibility

With 19 locations spread across the nation, Forward ensures easy access to its exceptional healthcare services. Boasting a team of over 100 primary-care clinicians, their mission is to tackle the three fundamental challenges of healthcare: cost, accessibility, and quality.

Forward is paving the way for a revolution in the healthcare industry. By combining cutting-edge technology with expert medical care, they are spearheading the mission of making healthcare available and accessible to all - anytime, anywhere.
