It would aid Delhi NCR discover best doctors and book appointments
1mg.com, an m-health platform, launched ‘Doctors by 1mg’ on the Android platform, to help Delhi NCR discover best doctors and book appointments. It would be a companion to the 1mg App, its consumer health platform.
Reportedly, the app allows users to search for doctors by their area of specialisation as general practitioners, gynecologists, cardiologists, dentists etc. The app also covers practitioners of alternative therapies, homeopathy and ayurveda. Handy filters on the home screen let you refine your selection by doctor’s fees and distance from the doctor (in km). One key feature offered by the app is Ask for Recommendation which will help users get doctor recommendations from their friends and family anonymously.
Talking about the product Gaurav Agarwal, CTO 1mg said, “With the launch of doctors by 1mg, we aim to address a key pain point that everyone faces today – finding a doctor that my network trusts. We believe that finding the right doctor is a very ‘social’ process – and we want to mimic the real life experience of finding a doctor in the online world by incorporating recommendations of people in your social network.” He added, “We strongly believe that proliferation of smart phones and pervasiveness of technology will transform and will help us realise our vision of making healthcare understandable and accessible for a billion Indians.
Prashant Tandon, Founder, 1mg said, “Our new launch is strongly aligned with our core goal of enabling our users to take informed decisions for effective healthcare. We want to connect fragmented healthcare ecosystems to give patients a one-stop m-health solution and for this we are continuously developing new products. We will expand this service rapidly and aim to cover doctors across 15+ cities before the end of the year.”
