Our History
In 2012, our founders viewed the challenge of fragmented care from a different lens as they had experienced personal issues with navigating the healthcare system to manage their health and that of their families. Together, they created Activate Care’s technology that enables dynamic teams to communicate, coordinate, and drive cross-sector collaboration securely.
Fast forward to 2022, when our CEO, Ted Quinn, recognized that the evolving landscape demanded more innovative solutions than ever before. This realization ignited the creation of Path Assist, a pioneering venture designed to address the mounting complexities facing our most vulnerable populations.
For too long, the status quo in our healthcare system has been to screen people for mental health or social service needs, then simply refer them out to other providers in the community. Numerous peer-reviewed studies now show this fails up to 80% of people in need. It’s time to prepare for these predictable challenges to actually make a positive impact for our vulnerable populations.
Creating a Proactive Approach
Today, over a decade of extensive experience has allowed us to develop a deep understanding of the healthcare landscape and the needs of our most vulnerable populations to create a preventive, proactive approach to social care that identifies and supports individuals and families. Our turnkey solution combines our platform with a proactive social care intervention driven by community health workers.
