DocDoc — DocDoc is the world’s first patient intelligence empowerment company. Our vision is to empower patients to make data-driven healthcare decisions which are safe, transparent, and fair. We use technology in conjunction with medically trained professionals to optimise healthcare outcomes and cost, and enhance the patient’s end-to-end healthcarejourney. DocDoc combines AI-powered doctor discovery, telemedicine, and digital Third Party Administrator services onto a single platform. With this platform, DocDoc enables insurance companies to offer a differentiated product in a crowded market, employers to attract and retain world-class employees, and governments to improve accessibility and affordability of healthcare services for their citizens.DocDoc is an independent company with deep expertise in healthcare quality. We seek physicians, clinics, and hospitals with excellent outcomes who believe they are the best at what they do. We then spend hours with each doctor, investigating quality of care and documenting procedures and conditions where the physician excels. We review national records to confirm credentials and discover any legal action. Then, we enter information from multiple sources into a sophisticated system that finds a best match between a unique patient need and unique physician experience.Our model is that everyone wins. The patient finds a highly qualified doctor to treat their condition. The physician, who excels in specific treatments and procedures, has a company validate their expertise and send select patients to them so they can focus on clinical care. The insurance firms, knowing that happy policyholders maintain memberships and employers knowing that healthy employees are more productive, pay us a modest fee to assure their patients make informed medical decisions. The service is free of charge to providers to ensure transparency and avoid conflict of interest.
