History

DOC2US was co-founded by Dr. Raymond Choy, a medical doctor, Jack Lee, an entrepreneur, and Agmo Studio Sdn Bhd., an application development company.[10]

The inception of DOC2US was initiated by Dr. Raymond Choy who witnessed his father’s experience battling Leukemia. This experience served as an inspiration to develop an app where consulting a doctor is as simple as a text away.[11]

DOC2US app was officially launched in March 2017 offering its telemedicine services to the public in Malaysia. Dr. Paul Chan, the Director, and Chief Medical Officer subsequently joined the company in 2017. DOC2US is the first telemedicine platform in Malaysia that leverages blockchain technology to ensure data integrity and privacy regarding a patient's medical history is well-maintained.[12]

DOC2US has also partnered with AIA Malaysia, one of the largest insurance companies in Malaysia in 2020 with the aim to provide virtual healthcare services to its clients and consumers. The service includes virtual consultation with doctors, electronic prescription, medication self-collection, and door-step delivery, blood tests, Covid-19 screening, vaccination programs, and home care services. Other strategic Third-Party Administrator (TPA) partners in providing corporate solutions and wellness programs include MiCare, Health-metrics, and IHP Malaysia.[13]

DOC2US in partnership with Alpro Pharmacy launched PILcube, an initiative to facilitate proper dispensing of medication, whereby technology is incorporated into the pharmacy packaging system. All medications under this initiative are placed and sealed in air-tight packages containing all prescribed pills to be taken in a certain period.[14][15]
