Telemedicine Service
and Announces Lisa Adamczyk,

as Director of Telemedicine
Naples, Florida -- April
30, 2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- HealthLynked (OTCQB: HLYK) a global healthcare network
focused on care management of its members and a provider of
healthcare technologies that connects doctors, patients, and
medical data, today announced the launch of DocLynk, its new
telemedicine service enabling users to connect to healthcare
providers in the HealthLynked Network from the convenience of their
home by phone, web or mobile app. In addition to expanding the
services offered within the HealthLynked Network, DocLynk will
initially focus on women's health, integrating HealthLynked's
Oohvie Women's Health App to allow users to track menstrual cycles,
order birth control pills, and at home testing services.
The company also announced Lisa Adamczyk, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, APRN,
CNM, as its new Director of Telemedicine. Lisa Adamczyk has over 25
years of progressive clinical, operation and nursing leadership
experience that makes her uniquely qualified to manage the launch
of DocLynk. She is a certified nurse midwife with a master's
degree in Advanced Practice Nursing (APN) from the University of
Illinois and a Doctorate in Nursing from Lewis University, holding
active licenses in both Florida and Illinois. She has held many key
leadership positions, most recently as director of NICU and
Pediatrics for Naples Community Hospital. Prior to that, she was
director of maternal child health at John H. Stronger hospital in
Chicago, IL.
As has been widely reported, COVID-19 has accelerated the need for
telemedicine services, creating more demand than ever before. Most
telemedicine services are focused on mental health and services
that do not require access to a patient's medical records. DocLynk
allows patients to share their HealthLynked medical records with
their provider prior to the online visit, enabling providers to
engage patients on a wider range of healthcare issues. Women's
health is a particular focus since there are a number of medical
conditions that women routinely engage with their providers that we
believe can be addressed effectively via the DocLynk telemedicine
platform.
Dr. Michael Dent CEO stated, "We considered using an outsourced
solution for our telemedicine needs but we decided to build DocLynk
from the ground up to fully integrate with the HealthLynked Network
and maintain the privacy of our patients' medical information. We
have seen a substantial amount of engagement with our Oohvie
application to track menstrual cycles and having this information
available to a healthcare provider for a telemedicine visit will
significantly increase accurate diagnosis and treatment. I am
excited to have Lisa Adamczyk take on the role of Director of
Telemedicine, as she is uniquely qualified to provide leadership to
our telemedicine services. Over the next few months, we will expand
our services to include other areas of telehealth. The DocLynk app
is designed to provide an integrated platform of information
exchange, remote monitoring, care coordination, healthcare guidance
and at home testing, which we believe will lead to a significant
improvement in remote patient care."
