Also, medical professionals and frontline workers need to stay healthy and disease-free; this has given a boost in downloads of telemedicine apps like Doctor on demand, WebMD, Babylon, Practo, and more.
But the one app that has been successful in catching people’s attention is the Babylon app; it has come out as a winning mobile app for remote consultation in this chaotic time.
Not only has it proven to be a trustable platform for meeting the doctors face to face through mobile apps, but it has also become an inspiration for the startup aspirants who want to start a telemedicine app.
The app also provides AI chat services in case if a person wants to get a primary diagnosis by entering symptoms or short questions. One of the best things about the Babylon app is that you have access to your medical data on a fingertip. It securely saves your past medical conditions and treatment so you can have access to it when you need it.
Interestingly, the app has an online medicine delivery service as well.
