Wheel's Journey
Since our founding in Austin, Texas, in January 2018, Wheel has been dedicated to revolutionizing virtual care. Under the leadership of CEO Michelle Davey, we've achieved significant milestones, including the launch of our AI-powered Horizon™ platform in June 2024. Horizon leverages data from over 6 million virtual care visits to provide predictive care pathways, intuitive clinical recommendations, and personalized interventions. It integrates a data-first electronic health record (EHR), a nationwide clinician network, and an open partner ecosystem to deliver comprehensive virtual care solutions.
Looking Ahead
Our mission for 2025 is to empower individuals with more personalized and comprehensive access to consumer-centric care. We're developing new access points for education, support, labs, and prescriptions—entirely outside the traditional care system. Additionally, we're advancing Horizon's AI capabilities to further support holistic, integrated care. As virtual care becomes central to the healthcare ecosystem, driven by consumer demand for convenience and accessibility, we're committed to leading this transformation.
