Doctor On Demand App Gives $40 Medical Consultations From the Comfort of Your Smartphone

Today, it’s becoming expected that a smartphone should be able to do anything and everything useful, well beyond the gimmick of a few years ago, “There’s an app for that.” For instance, you should be able to open an app, make a video call to a doctor, show and describe what’s wrong with you, and get good advice. Of the various companies trying to do just that, one is launching called Doctor On Demand with $3 million in seed funding from investors including Venrock, Andreessen Horowitz, Google Ventures, Lerer Ventures, Shasta Ventures and Athena Health CEO Jonathan Bush.
