Wow, how was this not posted yet? Been following the great work that's been coming out of this team for more than a year. It's inspirational for adjacent and non-adjacent industries (financial services, I'm looking at you).

Thank you so much for the love @alirtariq! As the maker I deeply appreciate your kind words. We launched the service on Facebook Messenger yesterday: https://www.facebook.com/HealthTap/

I like this a lot and I think it has tons of potential! Some of the suggested answers were not 100% relevant, but I can see this becoming very good with more people using it. You should look at connecting with Pharma companies, they normally have support programmes (e.g. https://www.humira.com/humira-co...) and I bet they'd be interested in answering questions from relevant patients.

Thanks for your comment, @blakerubin1. The health information is written and peer reviewed by over 100,000 doctors that have worked for the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic etc. They participate because they like to build up an online reputation - same dynamics as Stack Overflow. We also personalize your content based on the topics you follow, your personal information etc. Check: http://www.digitaljournal.com/li.... If you have more questions: do not hesitate to contact me.

Really cool idea. Can multiple doctors reply to a single question?

Thanks @fahim_k. Ans yes, that is correct: (a) If you ask a question through our bot, we'll give you multiple answers from multiple doctors that answered your question before in most cases (b) If you're not satisfied with that answer, you can forward your question for free to multiple doctors in our network. We'll forward the answer of the doctor that responds first (c) Other doctors in the network can weigh in / agree on the answers in both scenario (a) and (b), so we make sure you get a peer reviewed answer

Yes it is @lajeunesse88. Answers from our library and answers from the doctor network are completely free. If you want an expedited answer or want to do a live chat with a real doctor you pay a fee.

@steijnpelle Sure! You should consider developing countries like India, Africa etc. With the smartphone booms in these countries and internet being reachable and quality health care not being reachable, w/o a great marketing budget one could just come closer to bridging the gap.
