How It All Started
In November 2016, I started providing software to select doctors in Florida to help patients access medical marijuana under the Compassionate Care Act, which at the time was limited to “terminally ill” patients. My goal was to connect patients with physicians who could responsibly incorporate cannabis into their care plans.
Challenges for Patients
At that time, doctors were required to see a patient for at least 90 days before approving them for medical marijuana. This long wait often kept patients from getting relief, and some even passed away before receiving treatment. It showed me that patients needed a faster, easier way to get care.
Building Solutions for Better Care
To address these challenges, I developed a software platform that improves patient management and communication. This system allows doctors to engage patients more effectively, track progress, and manage care efficiently. Patients can document their responses to treatment, monitor their progress, and communicate directly with their physicians.
My Florida Green
The result of this work is My Florida Green, a platform licensed to compassionate physicians who believe in cannabis as a medicinal alternative. It offers a complete solution for patient engagement, prescription management, and follow-up. By connecting patients and doctors better, the platform improves communication and helps patients get the care they need.
