Dr. Sandhu started HouseMD private practice with the vision of creating more access and a safer space for people. In March 2020, he suffered from COVID-19 and realized that the country would require increased medical knowledge and service. Upon understanding the current situation, Dr. Sandhu placed an emphasis on the alliance in healthcare and technology as it is the most important avenue for delivering the best access and care to a patient.

The alliance between healthcare and technology is unique, dependent and is one of the core reasons healthcare is at its finest. Dr. Sandhu of HouseMD believes in the application of organized knowledge and skills in the form of devices, medicines, vaccines, procedures, and systems developed to solve a health problem and improve the quality of life. These systems include pharmaceuticals, devices, procedures, and organizational systems used in healthcare as well as computer-supported information systems.

HouseMD utilizes the ethos of the modern digital era and healthcare to provide the greatest amount of access to patients whether at home, in office, or on vacation. Zocdoc is an amazing example of a secure video platform that provides access to patients across all ages, disease states, and locations.

Certain FDA-approved devices include remote patient monitoring for daily blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration which then are relayed to doctors if any abnormal parameters were to occur.

Crispr-cas9, is a gene-editing technology along with Genomics that can find diseases and edit them out of your DNA sequences such as blindness and various cancers. This editing process has a wide variety of applications including basic biological research, development of biotechnological products, and treatment of diseases. This is the bleeding edge innovation of technology and healthcare combined to improve the quality of life.
