Forward Uses Technology to Enhance Experience at Doctor's Office
Forward is all about proactive versus reactive healthcare and at the center of it is founder and CEO Adrian Aoun. He joins Alyssa Julya Smith at Forward's Los Angeles location to talk about some of the benefits of Forward and how technology is being used to help with preventative healthcare.
He explains that Tesla's and iPhone's can predict when they're likely to break down and intervene to fix things before it happens and that should be the same with healthcare. Forward created

Aoun also explains that Forward doesn't use insurance, but is based on a monthly membership cost that allows Forward to do full diagnostic tests without hidden fees or bills from blood work or other lab testing, explaining that it's all done in the office.
