SomDoctor (online healthcare in Somalia)
Serg Pirogov
SomDoctor is a telehealth service for Somalia.
The idea of the app is to provide affordable healthcare for everyone.
Problem: in Somalia, healthcare level is very low, and people should wait a long time to visit a doctor.
Solution: online service where you can book a needed doctor from a smartphone for the date and time that works for you. And get a video consultation from the doctor.
Our client had a small budget to test the idea. So, we were very creative in the number of features and the tech stack. In the MVP, we offered to focus only on the most important features: users can see the list of available doctors, book an appointment for an available date and time, and join the appointment via video/phone call. Such a laser-focused approach allowed us to build a fully functional telehealth system at 1/5 of the market price. We are very proud of this project, and happy to see how people in Somalia use it every day to stay healthy.
