CupSolidale and DoctorApp, two of the most successful Italian digital-health startups, announce a partnership to allow patients to book diagnostic and specialist visits as soon as they leave the family doctor’s office: it will be possible to choose the service quickly and easily and the structure closest to your needs.
The new synergy arises from the common goal of reduce waiting times e simplify access to healthcare in a process that puts the patient in the center.
Why is this Joint Venture born
Once the visit with the family doctor is over, we often find ourselves with a prescription for a diagnostic test or a specialist visit. The problem arises at the time of booking, whether it is in a public or private medical center: queues, waiting hours and eventually appointments in clinics that are too far away or at often uncomfortable dates and times.
How the collaboration between CupSolidale and DoctorApp works
The patient who booked his appointment with the family doctor through theDoctorApp app at the end of the visit, he receives a notification on his smartphone that refers to the platform www.cupsolidale.it where you can look for the prescribed diagnostic test or specialist visit you need, compare all options by date, place or price e choose the most comfortable solution based on cost, proximity or urgency. The whole in a few minutes, without queues or waited on the phone.
“We are really happy with this collaboration – declares Leonardo Aloi CupSolidale CEO-: together with DoctorApp we can, through family doctors and pediatricians, reach directly those users who already use technology to save time and in addition have a health need to satisfy. Starting partnerships with companies similar to ours, innovative, with a strong technological vocation and that solve real problems is a path that in CupSolidale we are pursuing and that we will continue to do “.
