Doctor On Demand Launches To Bring A $40 Call To Healthcare

December 19th, 2013 | by

After raising $3 million in seed funding, Doctor On Demand is officially launching today, a service that aims to connect consumers to a licensed U.S. physician via app an on iPhone, Android or tablet — from anywhere. Now the service is available in 15 U.S. states for a price of $40 per video call — a price the co-founders believe puts Doctor on Demand on par with most insurance co-pays and cheaper than most urgent care. The idea is to make a quality, experienced physician available to any consumer for just $40. (source:techcrunch.com)

医生咨询服务Doctor on Demand刚上线,并宣布完成了300万美元种子期融资,投资方包括Venrock、A16Z和GoogleVentures。
用户使用Doctor on Demand可以对自己的病症找大夫进行付费咨询,是ondemand形式,通过视频或网络电话直接联系到大夫,在沟通前用户也可先描述病症并上传相关医 学影像。每通咨询是40美元。Doctor on Demand说他们平台有1千名认证美国医师。国内的春雨医生早在去年4月已经有了付费电话咨询服务。
未来很可能我们的医疗方式都会改变。日常可穿戴设备持续记录我们的身体数据(如心率),可用作医生诊疗时的参考。诸如验尿之类的医学检测也会变得平民化,很可能这些常规检测在家里就能完成了。类23andMe等基因检测会让人们自出生起就能注意某类高风险疾病。
