doctors and patients 2.0

Doctoralia is a good example of the new model of participatory medicine, in which the doctor and the patient interact across the network. Conceived as a directory of private medical services, was born in 2007 in Barcelona and a few months ago has incorporated the ability to manage medical visits online. The user can choose a doctor that creates more convenient for its case among the thousands of professionals that make up the service, and make his appointment with him over the Internet.

The role of the patient is not limited to the choice of the doctor, but that you can appreciate the attention it has received and if it has been satisfied with the service. Doctoralia now has more than 15,000 tickets between opinions and valuations.

Doctoralia user can also ask your doctor any questions or concerns that you want to convey. These medical consultations — and answers — are visible to users who have demonstrated their interest in this particular disease. Thus, knowledge about health is shared to all interested users.

This innovative model of health 2.0 has already raised an important interest in patients around the world. Spain, Doctoralia, has 1 million users per month, some 47,000 medical professionals and 16.102 medical centers. Since 2007, it has spread to 16 countries, among them, United Kingdom, France, Brazil, Italy, Mexico, and Australia.
