A new app SeeDoc was launched in New Delhi on March 8. The app enables users to video conference and instant message medical problems remotely. Before that launch, the app was in the beta phase and received 300,000 downloads from the Play Store and the App Store. The app has a simple interface with which the user can choose to ask a free question or have a video conference with a doctor.
Consultations can be for problems such as fever, digestion, skin, weight, sexual, pain or hair. The user also has an option to chose the Other option. Once the option is chosen, a doctor will be assigned to the user. A video consultation costs Rs. 400.
The app suggests that the user fill out profile details which consists of basic information such as name, gender, birth date, weight, waist, height, daily activity level etc. It also has the option of entering personal and family medical history, vaccinations, allergies, lifestyle and lab reports.
A team of doctors is connected to SeeDoc. These doctors are specialists in General Medicine, Cardiology, Paediatrics, Gynaecology and Internal Medicine, among others. The average experience of the doctors is 6 years.
The co founder of the app said, We want to change medical consultation in India. Our aim is to that people can be in the comfort of their home and get the consultation from top doctors. We also care about the patients so we are providing free follow-ups with the check-ups to make sure that the user`s problem is solved. Also to maintain continuity, we display the calendar of the doctor who previously consulted the patient. If the timings are not matching patient can choose another doctor. SeeDoc will soon tie up with labs and medical stores so if any reports or medications are needed patients can avail these. Our team of doctors have been handpicked from the best in the medical fraternity. They are MCI and state registered from top medical institutions and colleges such as AIIMS, Fortis, Medanta, Max, AFMC, MAMC, and Manipal. We have combined the best medical practices from the NHS in the UK, and from India, to make sure that patients receive the highest quality of medical care.
