INTRODUCING DOC2US

Doc2Us Team

Doc2Us, a Malaysian-based mobile application, is co-founded by a medical doctor, Dr. Raymond Choy, a startup entrepreneur, Jack Lee and a reputable app development company, Agmo Studio Sdn Bhd. Together, they operate Doc2Us under a joint venture named Heydoc International Sdn. Bhd.

How did the idea come about?

The idea of Doc2Us came about when Raymond found himself in a position where his friends and family members would often message him to ask about symptoms and health or medical related questions. He was also able to relate to the urge to seek second opinion from medical specialists when his late father was fighting hard against blood cancer (Acute Leukemia). During that difficult time, he wished that he could get reliable advice from professional specialists when his father’s condition changes from time to time.

Both scenarios led him to wonder what other people who do not know a doctor personally would do in situations when they need to speak to the right doctor. In his case, there was no better option than to turn up at multiple clinics and hospitals to consult the doctors in order to get the better care for his late father. This was when Raymond realized how useful and important it would be for everyone in the country to be well connected to doctors and healthcare providers and be able to speak to them at any time via smartphones.

“There is a paradigm change of today’s patients’ behaviours ranging from seeking medical information, understanding their own conditions, modifying their lifestyles, tracking their own health to accessing affordable convenient care. It is inevitable that our generation is gradually adopting digital healthcare services for better personalised quality of care. We are here not to replace real world consultation nor diagnosis, but we are here to complement the healthcare ecosystem. Ideally physical medical resources should be saved for those who really need it.” Raymond says.

Joyce Toh

Intern

Joyce is a final-year pharmacy student at the International Medical University (IMU). Growing up in a small town in Penang, she has always been curious about the people and the world. Her curiosity about the world has led her to discover that many underprivileged communities in the country do not have equal access to healthcare and education as she does. Hence she continually educates herself about the situation faced by the disadvantaged communities. Joyce hopes that one day she could bring about a substantial impact on the underprivileged communities through better healthcare policies and delivery.
