The American Gastroenterological Association and the American College of Gastroenterology recently signaled their support for whole-person multidisciplinary digestive healthcare delivered via a hybrid collaborative model offered by the virtual GI care clinic Oshi Health. The investment in Oshi Health by these GI specialty societies is aimed at helping gastroenterologists provide guideline-recommended dietary and behavioral health services, without placing additional burdens on practices.
Oshi Health, launched in 2020, uses evidence-based, high-touch protocols that are clinically validated and recommended by the ACG and AGA, said company co-founder and Chief Medical Officer Sameer K. Berry, MD, MBA, a gastroenterologist and clinical assistant professor at New York University, in New York City. Its services, delivered via telehealth, range from limited to extensive.
