Need medical consultation? Try ‘Doctor On Demand’ smartphone app

Washington – A new app ‘Doctor On Demand’ has been launched that helps users make a video call to a doctor, show and describe what’s wrong with you, and get good advice.

American Well launched the app with three million dollars in seed funding from investors, including Venrock, Andreessen Horowitz, Google Ventures, Lerer Ventures, Shasta Ventures and Athena Health CEO Jonathan Bush.

According to AllThingsD, the app is launched for iPhones, iPads and Android devices that can be used to connect with a doctor for a video-chat visit.

A typical 15-minute visit costs 49 dollars.

Nearly 1,000 doctors are available in shifts from 7 am to 11 pm and licensed to provide advice.

People from California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington can get advise from doctors.
