BookingClinic.com platform was launched in April 2018 while “Booking Clinic Research PC” that was launched in 2020 is working to further develop and improve the platform functionalities by developing new video videoconference and, Chatbot applications and new services for humanitarian organizations.

Solution & Product

Currently, patients who need treatment or hospitalization struggle to find detailed medical information, contact medical experts, or compare cost, in order to make well informed decision about a treatment. On the other hand expert Doctors can only attract patients in their proximity, while Clinics are not enabled to accept online booking. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic not only threats the health of the society, but also challenged the way citizens and patients behave changing their habits and turning digital medical services into a necessity. BookingClinic.com aims to serve the Patients who need to consult a Doctor and/or have a treatment or an operation in a Clinic. It is a friendly, trustful online tool to search for Doctors, Treatments and Clinics, virtually meet a Doctor (via videocall), receive trustworthy medical consultation, compare different treatments and Clinics, and finally Find, and Book the treatment with the Doctor of choice, at the Best Clinic at the Best Price. Patients have online access to transparent info and data on medical experience, hospitality info, customer satisfaction ratings and total costs. Online videocall is offered, upgrading customer’s experience and trust. Clinics can promote their services worldwide, use a new digital channel to attract patients from new markets and improve their services by receiving crucial feedback from patients. Thus, the platform enables Clinics and Doctors to penetrate the online Health e-market.

Innovation & Scalability

Our solution goes beyond the offers of competitive platforms that are mostly clinic catalogues, operating as online brokers, without direct booking, mostly operating via phone calls and emails with no cost transparency. Our competitors do not offer tele-consultation with the doctor of your preference. With our solution the doctor can offer online medical consultation, while patients, can book a treatment online with transparency and credibility, having direct access to global high quality health providers, while benefiting from best price policy. The need for online health especially emerged after the Covid-19 lock down, radically changing the patients behaviour and habits the day after, for which we are ready. The model is scalable to any country and any Doctor and Clinic offering
