Healthcare startup Carbon is bypassing the electronic health record all together and creating its own.

And that’s not all CEO and co-founder Eren Bali wants to do with Carbon, an app-based healthcare portal that connects patients with doctors from independent practices. Like Uber, which connects taxis with people wanting rides without owning taxis, and Airbnb, which connects home owners and people needing a place to stay without owning property, Carbon wants to be the place that connects patients with doctors, without owning any practices or hospitals, Bali says.

The Carbon app allows a patient to browse through doctors from various practices she wants to see, schedule appointments for an in-person visit or virtually, message her doctor, find new doctors, view lab results, make payments, fill prescription orders and view her medical history.

“We want Carbon Health to be the complete picture of their medical records,” Bali says.

San Francisco-based Carbon launched in September 2016, after about two years developing the app, Bali says. Carbon is slowing rolling out and gathering patient feedback before a full deployment. The app only has four doctors available and about 1,500 patients have used it. Carbon opened a primary clinic next to its office to pilot the program. Bali’s goal is to have 15 to 20 small practices—and hopefully a large subset of their patients—using the app by the end of 2017.

The benefit for practices is to get more patients, as patients will be able to search in the app for doctors, and the added digital healthcare technology. Even if practices have updated their paper medical records to electronic health records, many of those systems don’t have the added features, such as in-app messaging, that Carbon has, Bali says.

If a practice wants to be on Carbon, the company will handle the patient data migration, Bali says. The revenue model is to take a 5%-7% fee from every transaction in the app, which Bali says is comparable to what other healthcare billing companies charge.

If a consumer wants to use the app, she can download it, take a photo of her insurance card, and input any of her own health data she knows or has access too.

Although the Carbon app puts all of a consumer’s medical records on her smartphone, Bali says that it is a secure app, much like a web-based healthcare portal.

Carbon has raised $6.5 million to date, he says.
