Doctor bookings platform HotDoc says it's narrowing the gap with bigger competitors.
A few years ago, about one in ten patients were logging on to book a GP appointment — these days, Melbourne startup HotDoc says at many surgeries this number is now pushing 50 per cent.
"That was a really pivotal experience because it meant that we had to suddenly think about not just what we were going to be but what we weren't going to be," he said.Over the past two years, Dr Hurst said HotDoc closed the gap with larger competitors like HealthEngine and this year has become one of the key GP software tools in Australia.
"I think over time telehealth will show itself to be a very valuable complement especially in terms of global health management," Dr Hurst said.
