A Doctor in Your Pocket



By: Lesly Morales

     Long ago i posted about the app that helps you skip the dreadful waiting of the Emergency room. Today, I will talk about an app that reduces waiting by 100% and provides you with the care you need without leaving the comfort of your home. This app is called Doctor On Demand. With this app, you will have access to 1,400 doctors, and 300 psychologists at the tip of your fingers (literally).

Mission Statement
"Lack of access to health care providers in the United States is a massive, growing problem. The average wait time to see a physician is three weeks. More than half of the patients with mental issues go without treatment. We're not getting the care that we need. We built Doctor on Demand to help address this problem."

    Doctor on demand treats most common illnesses quickly and efficiently through a video chat session. Live video doctor visits include assessments, diagnosis and prescriptions when necessary. In order to utilize Doctor on Demand, you will need to pay for each session, but they are cheaper compared to the actual doctor visits. Some health insurance agencies cover doctor on demand.

    Doctor on demand is important for the citizens who do not have access to a nearby doctor or who have no means of transportation. For students pursuing the medical field, this means that you will be able to consult with a patient from almost anywhere, and you can work from home.
