Telemedicine Service Update
You may have heard that Twilio, our current Telemedicine technology provider, is sunsetting its Programmable Video service, which Meddbase uses for telemedicine consultations. This service will continue until the end of December 2026, giving us ample time to find and implement a new solution.
We are actively working with Twilio and other potential suppliers to enhance our telemedicine features. Currently, we are selecting a new partner that meets our compliance, security, and functional requirements. We will keep you updated on our progress.
