MiSalud, which means My Health in Spanish, aims to make healthcare more inclusive by offering personalized healthcare services to US Hispanics through its mobile app and platform. Although Hispanics account for 20% of the US population — and in states like California and Texas, that number goes up to 40% — most of them don't have access to Spanish-speaking physicians in their communities. Which contributes to one-third of Hispanic women and nearly half of Hispanic men not having a primary care doctor. MiSalud aims to tackle the Hispanic community with a unique combination of personalized preventative wellness services, along with traditional healthcare via Spanish-speaking physicians.
