Well, the "Uber" business model is actually pretty hard to do in an industry as heavily regulated as medicine (and honestly it's a difference between getting into an unrated driver's car or putting yourself under the knife of an unrated developing country's doctor)...
Then again, our friends at Medigo seem to do great service in this direction so far and have just raised a series A ( https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/medigo#/entity https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/medigo#/entity ), the competition seems to be heating up in this space and honestly, I can't think of anything to truly "disrupt" this industry, as the margins are pretty well known, the market is reasonably mature and the order volume is very low.

- dalore 11y agoWouldn't the "Uber" business model mean they are rated? Bad doctors would not get 5 stars and then get dropped. Vs the current state of affairs where the doctors aren't rated at all. If people were going to travel for medical tourism anywhere wouldn't you want to go to a doctor that has been rated 5 stars vs one that hasn't? Bearing in mind they all have qualifications.
