Abstract
A virtual health system is provided that creates a digital platform to connect patients to healthcare providers. Healthcare providers create profiles that describe their healthcare specialty and provide scheduling information that indicates their availability along with preferences such as appointment or meeting length, minimum break between appointment, and price. Patients create profiles that includes demographic information as well as medical records. The patients may use the system to search for available healthcare providers using a variety of criteria, and to schedule virtual health services such as video chats. The system facilitates payment for the healthcare services, and records any notes, assignments, or prescriptions generated by the healthcare provider during the services. In the event that a patient would like to engage a different healthcare provider associated with the system, the system only allows access to the patient records after receiving permission from the patient.
