[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwanju] Remote medical platform DoctorNow announced on the 8th that it has been selected as the 'App of the Day' on the Apple App Store.

The Apple App Store's 'App of the Day' is directly selected by Apple based on three criteria: user satisfaction, service completeness, and differentiation points.

DoctorNow is the first in Korea to introduce non-face-to-face medical consultations and prescription drug delivery services, providing efficient and convenient medical services to those in self-quarantine, home treatment, and chronic or mild patients who find frequent hospital visits burdensome, leading the domestic remote medical service sector.

Since the service launch in December 2020, it has achieved over 1.2 million cumulative app visitors and more than 850,000 downloads in about a year, and has partnered with over 400 medical institutions, establishing itself as the 'No. 1' remote medical platform in Korea.

The App Store introduced DoctorNow's appeal as the ability to handle consultations, prescriptions, and prescription drug receipt all remotely in one go. Users can select the medical department and desired doctor, enter symptoms, and receive consultations via phone or video call. After the consultation, users can receive prescriptions based on the attending doctor's opinion. Prescription drugs can be delivered or shipped according to the user's choice, or picked up directly at a nearby pharmacy.

Jang Jiho, CEO of DoctorNow, said, "Being selected as the 'App of the Day' shows that many people are satisfied with using non-face-to-face consultations and that this is the most needed service right now." He added, "We will continue to showcase the platform's value by prioritizing customers and enhance service sophistication and efficiency."
