DocPlexus, an online community for doctors, is building a bridge between pharma companies and doctors to improve clinical outcomes. Phanish Chandra, CEO, Docplexus, shares more details about the platform, role of technology in the lifesciences industry, differentiators offered by his platform for both the pharma and healthcare sectors and more, in an interaction with Lakshmipriya Nair
What does Docplexus seek to achieve? What are the objectives/rationale behind setting it up?
Doctors play the most critical role ensuring that the general population receives care and treatments for various diseases. However, the statistics from the government suggests that seamless connectivity between the doctors across India has been a biggest hurdle in ensuring the delivery to achieve national goals. Docplexus is solving exactly that problem. Docplexus is a community of over 1,50,000 practising Indian doctors. The doctors from all over India are joining Docplexus to stay updated with clinical information, to know more about new treatments and drugs, and get insights about policies that are related to medical community. Over 6000 doctors are joining Docplexus every month making us India’s largest and fastest growing platform.
By providing doctors with updated clinical knowledge, we are helping patients to get most effective and recent treatment. Every day over 12000 doctors log on to Docplexus and over 10,000 patient cases have already been shared and solved by the doctors. Each doctor comes in contact with an average of 25 patients per day. That means Docplexus is helping to achieve better patient outcome for over 2,50,000 patients every day. Our ultimate vision is to empower each and every doctor in India so that they learn something new every day and treat their patients well. Our aim is to create a difference in healthcare by improving patient outcomes for at least 100 million patients every year.
How will Docplexus encourage/promote ethical marketing of pharma products?
