DoctorOnCall embarks on initiative to help battle Covid-19. [Newspaper] (2021)
Abstract
KUALA LUMPUR: The National Technology and Innovation Sandbox (NTIS) that was launched under the National Economic Recovery Plan (PENJANA) initiative plays an important role in propagating the use of emerging technology particularly in the battle against the Covid-19 pandemic. One of the NTIS key target sectors is medical and healthcare technology where DoctorOnCall, Malaysia's first and largest digital health platform was approved to be part of NTIS, to accelerate the development of healthcare related innovation, looking towards creating a smooth regulatory pathway. Together with NTIS, DoctorOnCall's DOCPod project aims to expand access to patients, particularly those with chronic illnesses, in rural areas through mobile clinics placed in the rural communities. The project received a RM500,000 grant funded under NTIS via the Malaysian Technology Development Corporation (MTDC) to facilitate DOCPod's prototype design and testing activities.
