Sas Ponnapalli

Healthcare obsessed serial entrepreneur.
Virtual healthcare isn’t a fad for Sas- it’s his passion. Sas proposed a telemedicine mobile app as his capstone project way back during his final year at the University of Illinois. From there, Sas went on to become the founding CTO of PlushCare, a vertically integrated telemedicine practice that treats millions of patients in all 50 states. After learning the fundamentals of scaling a singular clinic, Sas decided to co-create Beam and bring virtual care to the masses.

The Potential of
Virtual Care
Despite digital healthcare offerings growing faster than the rest of the economy, only about 15 percent of healthcare happens virtually today.
A convoluted payer framework, a byzantine healthcare system, and a lack of companies that marry clinical expertise with technology are constraining the impact of telehealth. There is enormous room for growth and improvement in virtual care.
Beam removes the barriers to telemedicine and helps more doctors scale their clinics, expand patient access to care, improve health outcomes, and reshape healthcare for the benefit of all- providers, patients, employers, and enterprises.
