doctHERs
A digital health platform that connects female doctors to underserved patients in real-time video.
Female doctors can remotely access patients via high-definition (HD), nurse-assisted video-consultation using a cloud-based telemedicine system that includes Electronic Medical Records (EMR), online medical online referral system and application of peripheral diagnostic tools such as blood pressure sensors, pulse oximeter, e-thermometer, e-ophthalmoscope, etc. Point-of-care located nurses, Community Health Workers (CHWs) and Community Midwives (CMWs) are trained to assist these home-based doctors in the physical assessment of patients.
doctHERs™ has treated over 15,000 patients in its first year and ultimately seeks to impact over 50 million lives across 5 continents by 2030
