Telemedicine app 'VISIT' launches doctor on call service
Hyderabad: VISIT, an on-demand healthcare service provider, has partnered with Spice Digital to launch a doctor on call service on BSNL network and plans to tie-up with other telecom players to go national.
The service, called 'JIYO Behtar Expert Talk Health Line', has already been made live in North Zone with state-run BSNL as the first telecom partner.
VISIT is a platform that connects patients with practitioners anytime, anywhere through smartphone or computer. The telemedicine app was launched earlier this year by four BITS Pilani graduates -- Anurag Prasad, Vaibhav Singh, Chetan Anand and Shashvat Tripathi.
Spice Digital is a mobile value added service (VAS) and financial technology (fintech) service provider.
"We are now doing over 500 telehealth consultations on the BSNL network on a daily basis. These are people from Tier 3 cities and villages in North Zone. Soon we will be launching in West Zone, South Zone and East Zone," Prasad told PTI.
"We will also be launching the service on Idea and Airtel very soon," he said.
