Ask The Doctor launches virtual healthcare platform for employers – ATD Works

ATD Works

Ask The Doctor, the world’s most popular medical question and answer platform, is launching the Virtual Healthcare Platform for Employers, called ATD Works, in Ontario.

The platform allows employers to provide their employees with virtual access to a physician through email, SMS, phone or video chat on the Ask The Doctor app. Employees will also be able to receive prescriptions filled at their nearest pharmacy, as well as access their health records, including lab reports and imaging.

“This revolutionary platform will help the Ontario Healthcare System save hundreds of millions of dollars in unnecessary emergency room and clinic visits and give families peace of mind knowing that they have a physician available to them immediately 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,” Dr. Suneel Sharman M.D., co-founder and chief medical officer of Ask The Doctor’s global operations, said in a statement. “Ask The Doctor’s platform already receives over 20,000+ visits a day worldwide and we are excited to launch ATD Works as a benefit to employees of member companies in the province of Ontario.”
