mobiOs.lk, an innovative software solutions provider, recently launched docPhone Automated Health Services, a series of apps that aim to revolutionise community medical self-care through telemedicine.

In recent years, medical self-care where individuals make informed decisions regarding diagnosis and treatment of health problems is considered an essential skill in the modern world for optimal health. Telemedicine is a convenient, cost-effective, accessible technology that gives Sri Lankans the opportunity to receive consultations in their own preferred language at their own home at their own pace.

Given that there are limited opportunities to access telemedicine for medical self-care in Sri Lanka, mobiOs has converted the smartphone into a medical advisor with docPhone. A specialist in the field of Family Medicine, Dr. Ananda Perera provides medical advice for entire project.

mobiOs has identified common illnesses Sri Lankans experience daily and has designed a chatbot simulating a virtual consultation between a doctor and the patient, which ends with medical advice or prescriptions. docPhone prescribes over-the-counter medications and non-drug therapies.

docPhone Automated Health Services is now available for the public free of charge for a limited time and the consultations can be carried out in Sinhala, Tamil or English, allowing equitable access for all Sri Lankans. docPhone is available at https://247econsult.com/. Experience the convenience, cost-effectiveness, 24/7 accessibility and 24/7 availability for medical consultation in Sri Lanka.
