Taking Healthcare To Your Fingertips…

Live Chat with a Doctor! Think about this situation, This is Monday morning; you’re not feeling well today. You want to visit a Doctor, but you know the big city where you live in will take your 2-3 hours even to reach a Doctor and then wait for the appointment with the Doctor. And, typically the Doctor is going to charge you smoothly between 200-500+ bucks for that 10 minute appointment. This happens, and we all are very familiar with such moments…

Let’s talk about technology now. Look around, there are thousands of signals, hundred of people are online on their mobile phone, the web is changing everything, it is no more just to browse the stuff, the web is a platform now, it is more of a collaboration, a platform. I’m sure most of you are aware & seeing all the changes in the daily-life technology. Yes, the whole planet is going through the Credit-Crunch, but technology is something which keeps innovating, no matter whatever happens. Tech companies might be in crisis, but “technology” is always going-up… Anyways, that was off the track talk related to current Credit-Crunch, which I’m seeing people are relating to everything, which is actually not related to all the things, just like technology! So I was saying, technology is everywhere and it will be. And, typically our medium of interface with technology is mostly either a computer of a mobile device.

We at HealthcareMagic have already invaded the web by brining healthcare to you in simplest possible way, where you can directly get online with our Doctors and ask your health queries via simple Live Chat. Here comes a question, not everyone is having access to internet. So how to reach more people who are looking for relevant information about their health. To take this mainstream, going mobile was the thing on our mind. Have a look, everyone is carrying a cell phone these days from that 12 year old kid to your grand-mama!

Why not put the that same concept to mobile. Nope, I’m not talking about mobile browsing & stuff… HealthcareMagic is fully browsable in mobile devices from S40 to iPhone to Andriod based devices. We took the classical approach to go mobile… and I’m glad to inform you all that we’ve recently tied-up with India’s largest mobile service provider Reliance Communication to bring Healthcare on your fingertips, which is first of it’s kind in India. The whole thing is like, you’ll just have to dial a number and you’ll be directly online with a Doctor… exactly as our Live Chat, but on the mobile!
