US EditionFormer Amazon Leaders Launch General Medicine: A Healthcare Store That Gives Everyone Access to the Best Care in the World
- In 2023, Ashwin Muralidharan, TJ Parker, and Elliot Cohen—who previously built PillPack before its acquisition by Amazon—established General Medicine, a digital healthcare platform designed to connect patients across the United States with medical providers.
- In 2022, Parker and Cohen departed from Amazon, several years after the company had purchased PillPack for approximately $750 million, to develop a more straightforward, consumer-oriented method for accessing healthcare.
- General Medicine connects users directly to providers matched to their medical needs and offers services including prescriptions, specialist consultations, labs, imaging, and upfront pricing.
- The company secured $32 million in venture capital with backing from investors including Matrix and several prominent venture groups, aiming to address the issue of lengthy appointment wait times that currently average 26 days for new patients.
- General Medicine plans to use the funds to expand capacity and services nationwide, betting that giving consumers control combined with rigorous clinical standards can transform healthcare access.
