[edit] History
Myca was founded in 2002 by Nathanial B. Findlay. The company's first product was a mobile nutrition platform called MyFoodPhone. MyFoodPhone is a small cell-phone application that provides customers with a full nutrition journal and access to a nutrition professional. Customers take a picture of their meals and send them via MyFoodPhone to be analyzed by a personal nutrition coach or advisor.
MyFoodPhone was rebranded as Myca Nutrition in 2007.
[edit] Activities
Started in 2007, Myca developed a platform that allows physicians to practice remote consultations by using videoconferencing, instant messaging, phone, mobile and email. With this platform patients can schedule either home, clinic or online appointments with a doctor. The Myca platform provides a full billing back-end service that allows doctors to be reimbursed for their remote visits.
The Myca Platform is commercialized in the United States under the Hello Health trademark. Hello Health is a company that manages clinics and provides medical services using the Myca Platform.
Myca will launch its first Hello Health clinic in June 2008 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY. Dr. Jay Parkinson, MD, MPH and Dr. Sean Khozin, MD, MPH are the first Hello Health doctors and will operate the Williamsburg clinic. Both doctors are highly implicated in the Hello Health product definition as well.
