Cost Of A Cellphone Dr Consult?
Views: 465
With machines taking more of the work traditionally done by humans,
. . . it’s only inevitable they’ll iron out the inefficiencies of health care.
But we probably won’t see that first with hospitals or traditional doctors.
. . . We’ll see it happen with a small coterie of mobile apps,
. . . that let you to speak to a doctor, at the tap of a button.
Babylon Health,
. . . is a British mobile app that charges its users
. . . £5 (about $8) a month to speak to a general practitioner,
. . . whenever they want, as many times as they need.
The doctors can write prescriptions, and refer them to specialists.

.$8....Month........Babylon
$40 15-minute Doctor on Demand
$40 15-minute Teladoc
$49 15-minute American Well
$99...Month........HealthTap's
Babylon’s traditional service, sees its users request a consultation with a doctor,
. . . with whom they go through a series of questions,
. . . to help the practitioner triage the patient.
A new version of the app, uses a Siri-like interface,
. . . that uses voice recognition to go through a series of questions,
. . . before seeing a doctor.
It would have taken a doctor 5 minutes to ask these questions,
. . . now they might only have to spend one minute asking them.
The cost of answering question went down from £5 to £1.
