Barcelona, March 14, 2018.- The Spanish company Top Doctors.es®, an online platform for finding and contacting the best medical specialists in private healthcare, audited and certified by the most rigorous doctor selection process in the world, has closed the 2017 financial year with a turnover of over 7 million dollars in the European and Latin American market. The company is doubling figures for the fourth consecutive year and anticipates tripling them in 2018, a year for which it has set a goal of reaching $20 million. With a unique business model, the company offers patients the latest tools to access the most prestigious national and international medical directory, while providing doctors with cutting-edge technological solutions, online presence and brand image.
Its model: medical audits and guaranteed authenticity of patient opinions.
The Top Doctors platform’s proposal for success is based on bringing patients closer to top doctors, verified through certifications, audits and an exhaustive control of their professional trajectory. The Top Doctors physician selection process has 25 years of experience and is unique in the world. “The future is online, the doctor must undoubtedly go digital and the patient has the right to be able to trust the internet”, says Alberto E Porciani, CEO and Co-Founder of the company “Therefore, the key in the process of digitalization of the health sector is to offer the patient a safe and quality access that gives them the necessary peace of mind to make a decision with guarantees. As a company and technological solution, it is our duty to provide sufficient information, check it, assess it, contrast it and manage it appropriately.”
“Top Doctors offers assurance and confidence to both doctors and patients,” he continues. The doctors who are part of the platform have passed an audit and have official quality certification. Likewise, all the comments left by patients about doctors are guaranteed to be authentic. “Our work has earned the trust of our doctors and patients, who frequently rate us highly (at 4.5 out of 5), something of which the whole team is very proud.”
From Barcelona to 7 countries in 5 years
After a strong commitment to internationalization that led it to have a presence in up to 5 new markets from 2014 to 2016 -they are currently in 7 countries- Top Doctors has focused its strategy in the last year on boosting its technology to become the reference platform for access to the best specialists and medical centers. Thus, it presented the creation of its new mobile App with instant doctor-patient chat, videoconferencing and a symptom evaluator, in collaboration with the best artificial intelligence that currently exists, thus becoming the most comprehensive in the market.
“It has been a very important year for the company, in which we have once again achieved our goals. The launch of the mobile application has meant a before and after for us, a breakthrough and better competitive positioning. Our intention is to become a tool that centralizes and optimizes doctor-patient communications, and to progressively incorporate more services for both doctors and patients, always leading the evolution of telemedicine,” says Alberto E Porciani, CEO and Co-Founder of the company.
Objectives 2018: more countries, more technology
After three rounds of financing Top Doctors has an accumulated 4.1 million euros, of which a very important part is being allocated to technological innovation, which will allow it this year 2018 to communicate new developments in this regard “We are to offer new services to doctors and patients through the web and the App that will position us as the reference company in the Digital Health sector”.
Likewise, throughout this year it will enter two new markets, one in Europe and the other in Latin America, which will be added to those already consolidated: Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, Mexico, Colombia, Chile and the U.S. The company currently has more than 60,000 professionals from all medical specialties globally, having increased the number of members by 50% in the last year.
