Today, when everything is available at the click of a button, getting online consultation or clinical examination from a doctor does not come as a surprise. While this is still a developing domain, the COVID-19 pandemic encouraged people to switch to online platforms and consult certified medical practitioners. As per a study by Praxis Global Alliance, India's teleconsultation market size was about $26 million in March 2020, and it grew to $163 million by March 2021. The tele consultation market is expected to grow by 72 percent to $836 million by March 2024, where one in every 35 consultations will take place online by FY24.

One of their patient, about 37 years old had been suffering from skin rashes for a long time & visited an experienced Dermatologist. The Dermatologist prescribed a topical ointment & he used the same ointment whenever there was a skin rash. After a year, the problem persisted, and he came to DocOnline for a General Physician (GP) consultation. The GP, during the consultation, found other signs/symptoms and recommended the patient for an ultrasound and liver function test. The diagnosis revealed Chronic liver disease. The rash was only a symptom of the liver problem.
