Quick, convenient, on-demand care
Picture this: You notice your recent diet changes are making your GI symptoms worse. And you just can’t wait weeks or even months for an appointment.
Oshi Health gives you access to convenient virtual visits that easily fit into your schedule, including next-day, evening, and weekend appointments—meeting you wherever you are.
After signing up with Oshi, you also have access to a 24/7 urgent support line. While we’re not an emergency service, we can connect you to a provider who can guide you in your decision-making.
Quick, easy, and convenient—not having to leave the house for a visit is especially helpful because of the symptoms I experience!
— Kimberly, Minnesota (treated for IBS)
And did you know that flexibility and quick access are key to better GI care? The quicker you can get care, the more likely you are to get control over your symptoms for good.
Integrated root cause care
Our collaborative, team-based approach translates to real results for our patients. Oshi Health’s integrated GI care is clinically-proven to improve GI symptoms and quality of life.
And it’s more effective than traditional GI care alone. Why? Because it considers the whole you, not just your symptoms or condition. From the gut-brain connection to nutrition, we’re here to help you address your gut health from every angle. Your care team will work with you to set clear goals and expectations for your care experience with Oshi Health.
Our providers collaborate for you and with you. Tailored care for you means taking the time to listen to your needs, preferences, and goals before jumping to treatment recommendations—all while prioritizing less evasive and costly interventions.
At Oshi, we try to limit expensive testing while working to get you the answers you need. Some tests might be necessary to diagnose certain conditions, but we do our best to minimize unnecessary and repeat testing if we can help it.
I’ve been struggling with digestive issues for a while now. Oshi Health was the first time I actually felt listened to. My providers made me feel like a whole team behind me. I finally found symptom relief—all without needing costly procedures or just being prescribed another medication.
— Jennifer, Texas (treated for Crohn’s disease)
Tip: Sharing is caring.
The effectiveness of virtual care—or any care, really—relies on what you share with your care team. The more information they have, the better equipped they’ll be to collaborate with you on a plan for lasting relief. Tracking your symptoms, feelings, and food intake can help you and your care team identify patterns that may contribute to GI discomfort or symptom flare-ups.
A tailored approach to testing and medications
While it can be helpful, and our providers will review previous testing you’ve had, you don’t need to have had imaging or other tests to meet with an Oshi provider and benefit from integrated GI care.
We start by taking a thorough medical history and considering:
- Your symptoms
- Your family history of GI conditions
- Lifestyle habits or relevant life stress
- Your diet and potential trigger foods
- Any medications you’re taking or have taken in the past, including over-the-counter (OTC) products
- Previous surgeries or medical procedures
If your care team recommends testing, we take a concierge approach to help you find a convenient and in-network location. We take a similar approach to medication, prescribing based on your unique needs and symptoms. Plus, no need to juggle all the paperwork yourself. Everything happens in the Oshi app—and our care coordinators are on hand to answer any questions you may have.
Our whole-person approach also incorporates dietary and lifestyle interventions, including gut-brain behavioral therapy—all backed by rigorous research.
Tip: Ask questions!
Don’t be shy about asking questions. Your care is a collaboration between you and the GI specialists on your team. Whether you have questions about your medication, nutrition plan, or gut-brain interventions, your team is here to listen and give you the answers you deserve.
Ongoing support
Our goal is to empower you to take control of your symptoms and gain the tools and confidence to manage them. But we know that flare-ups can happen, and you might want to check in with us down the road. So, we’re here to help with ongoing support.
Follow-up appointments are the ideal time to reconnect with the providers on your care team, let them know how you feel about your progress, and make adjustments to your care plan.
Your care, made simple
Our care coordinators are here for you, too. The last thing you want to worry about when you’re doubled over with stomach pain is corralling medical records and figuring out referrals. Oshi care coordinators take charge of all the tedious stuff, like arranging outpatient testing and care, if needed.
Unlimited chat messaging
At Oshi, we never leave you hanging. Unlimited chat messaging in the Oshi Health app securely connects you with your care team. Ultimately, the total number of visits you’ll have with our GI specialists will depend on your unique needs, but you can always book an appointment when you need it—whether you’re seeking gut-friendly dietary advice for your upcoming vacation or have concerns about new symptoms and want to speak with a GI provider.
Tip: Chat with us.
The in-app chat is a great way to ask quick questions, update your specialists on your progress, clarify treatment plans, and coordinate outpatient testing and care. For urgent symptoms, a provider will call you directly. For non-urgent questions, someone will respond within 24 hours.
Gut health resources galore
The better you understand your condition and gut health in general, the better equipped you’ll be to manage and take control of your GI symptoms.
That’s why we give you exclusive access to practical and educational resources, including recipes and tools you can access right within the Oshi Health app. Like explainers about the gut-brain connection and actionable tips to help you as you make adjustments to your lifestyle and nutrition habits.
Plus, we’re always updating our blog with helpful, expert-led advice, tips, and information. Want even more? Our newsletter is packed with the latest in gut health, from science headlines to actionable tips and tasty recipes. Scroll to the bottom of this page to sign up!
