Tono's Vision for the Future: Delivering World-Class Specialty Care, Anywhere

Tono is building a virtual-first platform for advanced specialty medicine, connecting patients with top doctors and cutting-edge treatments, both online and locally. Our vision is simple: to make specialty care accessible, convenient, and top-tier for everyone. Today, Tono empowers dermatologists to deliver world-class care and expands access to next-generation treatments nationwide.

Unlocking Excellence in Medicine

Tono embodies a rich history of innovation and best-in-class patient care, developed by our teams' experiences at institutions like Harvard, Columbia, Yale, and UCSF, and through work with Nobel Laureates and Lasker Award winners at NIH and Rockefeller University. We are a modern manifestation of this tradition, building on a deep foundation and lineage to deliver world-class expertise directly to patients through a virtual-first platform.

Now is an exciting time, with groundbreaking progress in medicine and technology creating transformational opportunities to elevate healthcare standards and propel humanity forward. True excellence in medicine comes not just from incremental advancements but from combining these innovations to achieve giant leaps. Today, this means that patients everywhere can access Tono's platform for best-in-class care and advanced, personalized treatments. In the future, we will continue to drive innovation to unlock new possibilities that are currently unimaginable.

The Best Doctors, Right at Your Fingertips

To achieve our vision, we start with people. Tono is building a network of next-generation doctors—leaders committed to advancing the standard of care. These specialists are pioneering new treatments, and patients could travel thousands of miles to see them. They are experts in telehealth, seamlessly using it as a standard of care, and are trained in the latest medical innovations to deliver cutting-edge treatments that didn't exist five years ago. This combination of expertise and innovation is powerful. These doctors are passionate about applying technology and their deep medical knowledge to shape the future of specialty medicine—and they will be leading this transformation for years to come. We bring these specialists directly to you, eliminating barriers of distance and access.

Next-generation possibilities start with the best next-generation doctors.

Technology at the Core

At Tono, technology serves as the connective tissue across our ecosystem, seamlessly linking doctors, patients, payers, state regulators, and pharma. Our AI-driven platform is specifically built as a vertical solution to meet the modern needs of specialist doctors, providing software that supports every aspect of their practice. This enables complex care to be delivered remotely with exceptional efficiency.

By integrating a bespoke electronic health record (EHR) optimized for virtual-first specialty care, Tono accelerates the delivery of advanced treatments. Our platform offers full-stack practice management solutions—covering everything from malpractice insurance and multi-state licensing to credentialing and administrative tasks—streamlining operations for healthcare providers. Additionally, Tono’s platform is easy to integrate across various specialties, unlocking new access opportunities and fostering partnerships. These technological advancements make healthcare more connected, accessible, and capable of meeting the evolving needs of specialists and patients alike.

We are especially excited about the exceptional engineering team we’ve assembled, including top talent recently recruited from Apple. By combining brilliant engineers with leading medical experts, we create a powerful synergy that unlocks tremendous value. Building our systems in-house allows us to stay at the forefront of technology, offering unique X factors and competitive advantages that attract the market to Tono.

Advanced Treatments, Accessible Everywhere

At Tono, we deliver the most effective treatments, personalized to each patient. We've proven that we can integrate biologics and precision medicine into our care delivery. Our platform is designed to support complex treatment protocols, giving patients access to therapies that were once only available at a few elite medical centers.

We've demonstrated our ability to remotely deliver and monitor patients receiving advanced treatments, including biologics, infusions, and daily antibiotics, with the same level of excellence as leading medical centers. By working closely with local partners, Tono bridges the gap between virtual and in-person care. Now, patients nationwide, even in underserved areas, can access the most advanced treatments.

Unlocking the Biologic and Precision Medicine Revolution

Tono is at the forefront of the biologic and precision medicine revolution in dermatology. By partnering with global leaders in pharma and biotech, we are expanding access to groundbreaking treatments. Our collaborations provide patients, especially those from underserved areas or diverse backgrounds who haven't had access to biologics, with new opportunities to participate in clinical studies. These partnerships help us accelerate research & possibilities in dermatological care. These collaborations are another example of how Tono is not only improving patient outcomes today, but also driving the future of innovation in dermatology.

A Multi-Specialty Approach to Transforming Healthcare

While dermatology serves as our initial focus, Tono’s vision extends far beyond a single specialty. We see dermatology as the ideal entry point because of its complex nature that is well suited to virtual care, and its interconnectedness with other areas of medicine. As we refine our model and expand our capabilities, we will introduce additional specialties, creating a comprehensive, multi-specialty platform that serves as a one-stop shop for advanced medical care.

Imagine a world where a patient can receive coordinated care across multiple specialties, all within the same platform. A world where their dermatology visit is seamlessly connected to their endocrinology consult, where their treatment plan is a unified effort across disciplines, all driven by data and powered by technology. This is the future Tono is building—a future where patients no longer have to navigate the complexities of the healthcare system alone.

Scaling Globally: Bringing Best-in-Class Medicine to the World

Our mission doesn’t stop at the borders of the United States. The need for accessible, high-quality specialty care is a global issue, and Tono is dedicated to making a difference worldwide. We envision a future where patients from all corners of the globe can access the best-in-class medicine that Tono offers, breaking down barriers to care and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to benefit from the latest advancements in medical science.

The Future of Specialty Medicine is Here

At Tono, we are more than a telehealth company—we are a platform for the future of advanced specialty medicine. By leveraging the best doctors, the most advanced treatments, and a seamless integration of online and local care, we are creating the new standard in healthcare.
