Finding the right doctor isn't always easy. In almost all counties in the Asia Pacific, the average number of doctors per 1000 people is lower than the OECD average, meaning many patients are forced to travel for hours to whatever doctor is available.
Today, you'll hear from two individuals actively working to improve access to medical services, thanks to telehealth and connectivity. Cole Sirucek is the Founder and CEO of DocDoc, a system-wide solution that takes the stress and confusion out of healthcare. You'll also hear from Abhinav Lal, the Co-founder of Practo. Practo is a health platform and technology company with a mission to make healthcare more affordable and accessible for over a billion people in India.
In this episode, Cole and Abhinav discuss how seamless connectivity will power advanced telehealth, and how these services, along with the use of artificial intelligence, can help revolutionise healthcare today and into the future.
