What is Runway Health?
Runway Health is a direct-to-consumer telehealth platform focused on pre-travel health care and preventative medicine delivery. The service provides an online alternative to traditional travel clinics and long wait times for primary care visits. By connecting users with United States licensed physicians through asynchronous consultations, the platform enables travelers to secure destination-specific prescription medications prior to international departures.
The intake process begins with an online medical assessment that takes between 3 and 7 minutes to complete. Users enter details regarding their travel itineraries, upcoming destinations, and personal health histories. Licensed physicians evaluate the submitted medical background to determine whether prescription treatments are safe and appropriate for the individual's travel plans.
Medical evaluations cover a broad range of travel-related health concerns. The platform provides access to treatments for altitude sickness, motion sickness, traveler's diarrhea, malaria prevention, sleeplessness, nausea, vaginal yeast infections, urinary tract infections, typhoid fever, anaphylaxis, skin infections, influenza, and Lyme disease.
Once a physician approves a treatment plan, prescriptions are fulfilled by a partner pharmacy and shipped directly to the user's domestic location. Standard delivery takes between 3 and 5 business days, complete with real-time shipment tracking so travelers can prepare before departure.
In addition to initial prescription delivery, the platform includes continuous clinical communication. Users receive unlimited 24/7 chat-based access to medical professionals before departure, during their trip, and after returning home to address any medical questions or treatment concerns.
