The problem: Primary care in the US is in a state of crisis. A hundred million people in the United States alone suffer from poor access to primary care. And where it does exist, the typical primary care experience consists of taking three weeks to see a doctor, waiting in an office for hours, and seeing your physician for a rushed 15 minutes.
And this is tragic. Data shows that a good primary care doctor is worth her weight in gold. By addressing urgent care needs promptly and practicing preventative medicine, primary care doctors can proactively reduce the overall downstream sickness and cost of a population.
DoctorUp is using technology to create a paradigm shift in how consumers can interact with our healthcare system. We believe that if we can deliver the same seamless consumer experience that has permeated almost every non-healthcare industry, patients would actively use and benefit from primary care.
