Even though the COVID-19 is forcing people to stay indoors to be safe people cannot step down the roads for essential services. People cannot survive without the basic services that they require in their everyday life. They need to consult a doctor if they feel sick or unwell. But they cannot risk themselves getting out of their house or traveling to hospitals. As the people need doctor consultations now they can easily consult a doctor m from their homes with modern technology. Smartphones are proven to be a solution to this problem as telemedicine services can also be provided to users just like grocery or food delivery services.
So several entrepreneurs are approaching telemedicine software development companies for launching their own platform. An on-demand doctor service app should have certain key features integrated into the app to increase productivity. There is a rise in the number of online platforms.

- Push Doctor, a Manchester-based online doctor platform, has reported medical consultations to shoot up by 70%.
- AccuRx, a London-based healthcare platform, witnessed the rise in video consultations with the doctors by 20,000 by every day.
