SINGAPORE, Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The launch of an innovative and user-friendly healthcare platform, DoctorPage, is improving healthcare access across Asia. DoctorPage addresses the common problems associated with having to find and make an appointment with a doctor, dentist or physiotherapist, by serving its patients real-time, with a quick, reliable and easy-to-use platform.
With just a few clicks, patients can conveniently book appointments with their healthcare professional by visiting DoctorPage's website or mobile app; after a booking is made, a reminder is also sent to the patient ahead of the appointment. This service is entirely free for patients.
DoctorPage's clean pages and easy-to-use real-time appointment booking system have won over patients; likewise, it has also gained the popularity of renowned healthcare professionals and groups in Singapore.
With DoctorPage, every healthcare professional is presented with a unique opportunity to get online easily, increasing his/her online visibility to his/her patients by creating a professional online profile, listing his/her education, affiliations and pictures. Over time, he/she also builds a greater trust with his patients when they leave ratings of their great experiences with the specialists.
A complementary customer relationship management (CRM) system is provided to the healthcare professionals, helping them optimize their patient flow and clinic efficiency. At a glance, they can view all upcoming and past appointments; reschedule or cancel an appointment simply per drag and drop. In addition, marketing analytics are provided to view the number of patient searches, profile views and bookings, all summarized in a single page.
Its results have been astonishing just four months after the launch. According to Alexa rankings in January 2013, DoctorPage gained position as the number one eHealth portal in Singapore. DoctorPage currently lists more than 11,500 healthcare professionals on its platform and has seen more than 300 doctors coming onboard to use the online marketing and real-time appointment services.
"The number of visits and bookings has grown tremendously by more than 300 percent per month. And we also expect the number of healthcare professionals in Singapore using our real-time appointment booking and CRM system to grow to more than 1,500 by the end of 2013," said Mr. Scheichenost, CEO of DoctorPage.
Their success is a result of various ingredients -- a strong and dedicated technology team, which launched the most user-friendly website and mobile application, inter-twined with an experienced online marketing know-how team, which built the user base to being the largest e-Health portal in Singapore. Topping it off is an experienced medical physician with profound knowledge of the healthcare industry, giving DoctorPage a strong advantage in the eHealth market.
DoctorPage has set its sight on its international expansion into the rest of Asia. With such impressive results, it is no surprise DoctorPage is now the most well-received eHealth platform amongst healthcare professionals in Singapore.
