Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is ElderberryMD?

ElderberryMD is an AI-powered healthcare navigation platform that helps you coordinate care across multiple providers, understand treatment options, navigate insurance, and take control of complex health journeys. It's like having a healthcare expert available 24/7.

How is ElderberryMD different from other healthcare platforms?

Unlike telemedicine platforms that replace your doctor, ElderberryMD works alongside your existing providers. We coordinate between them, ensure nothing falls through the cracks, and help you navigate the system. We're a coordination layer, not a replacement for your care team.

Who founded ElderberryMD?

ElderberryMD was founded by Landon Wiedenman, a healthcare architect with 15+ years in Medicare/Medicaid systems. He built the first version during his own T-cell lymphoma diagnosis, reducing his time-to-diagnosis from the 72-month average to just 6 months. Read the full story.

Is ElderberryMD a telemedicine platform?

No. ElderberryMD is a care coordination and healthcare navigation platform. We don't replace your doctors — we help you coordinate between them, understand your options, and navigate the system more effectively.
