Who is AIRx Health for?
AIRx Health is for adults with chronic conditions or COVID-19 who could benefit from medical remote monitoring by world-class physicians. Monitoring programs can be done from the comfort of your home and are currently offered for high blood pressure (hypertension), stroke, COPD (lung disease), and COVID-19.
Why is AIRx Health only available in certain states?
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, physicians had to be licensed in the state where patients are located. However the rules have been changing in response to COVID-19 in certain states. We are currently available in California as well as states that allow cross-border licensing waivers due to the current COVID-19 national health emergency. If you are not located in California and interested in being monitored, please email contact@airxhealth.com to learn more if monitoring through the AIRx Health platform is available in your state.
