The healthcare domain sees an immense growth with the increasing internet penetration and Smartphone user base combined with innovativeness of healthcare technology players like Doctor Insta.
Offering preventive and curative healthcare on the go Doctor Insta is a video medicine company that aims to fix the present problem of accessibility (seeking medical advice at 3 am in the morning or even while travelling to a different city), reliability and consistency in India’s healthcare market. The telehealth app allows the pediatrics, psychology, general medicine, diet and nutrition practitioners to provide a focused care without asking the patient leave their home.
The application provides an access to doctors 24×7 with stringent quality control and assurance procedures in place and with doctor selection ratio of only three per cent (only 3 out of 100 applying doctors are selected to practice on the platform). It offers a standard fee with different price points for health consultations. The app is compatible on iOS, Android and Web platforms.
The idea was curated after the co-founder Amit Munjal used a similar service while being on a remote island of Hawaii with that video consultation saved his life.
