Doctor.One raises €440K from Movens VC to give everyone access to a private doctor
Doctor.One allows doctors to create and run a private medical practice in a subscription model. Unlike most telemedicine platforms, this virtual clinic is not centered around booking appointments. The cornerstone of the unique care model are daily "rounds", allowing physicians to respond directly to messages from their well known patients or check on the progress of treatment. Using the mobile-first platform, the doctors can provide help via asynchronous chat, start a video call without revealing a private number or issue a prescription. If necessary, they can invite the patient to an in-person visit or make a house call.
At Doctor.One doctors know their patients
Care is a relationship. We believe healthcare should be too - says Tomasz Rudolf, CEO of Doctor.One, who previously co-founded and ran The Heart, a corporate venture studio supported by Mastercard. - We have designed a new continuous care model for the 21st century, built around a trusted doctor-patient relationship. The future of care cannot be limited to AI - automated and dehumanized. We need to balance technology innovations with human intimacy. A trusted doctor that knows me well can be a great partner in times of need, helping with acute or chronic diseases, prevention or navigating the complex world of healthcare. Continuity of care makes the doctor also more effective, by avoiding the pressure on the patient to share all relevant facts from his medical history in a compressed visit. We hope this model can contribute to reducing the risk of misdiagnosis, especially in telemedicine.

Pre-seed round investment from Movens Capital
Healthcare is undergoing accelerated transformation. Doctor.One is an outlier, moving away from the fee-for-service model based on visits and creating a platform for doctors to improve care, earn more and get more joy out of work. With such a mission-driven team of accomplished entrepreneurs and healthcare innovators it has the potential to shape the movement of direct primary & specialist care providers - emphasizes Michal Olszewski from Movens Capital.
Benefits for doctors and patients arising from continuous caring relationship
Thanks to our solution, doctors can offer their patients a completely new standard of care, without compromising work-life balance. Patients can write to their doctor directly anytime - without intermediaries and queues - and know exactly when they can expect an answer. If a doctor knows a patient well, he or she can answer a question in a few minutes or write the right prescription, without the need for booking an appointment. - emphasizes Maciej Malenda, co-founder and COO of Doctor.One, who brings years of healthcare innovation experience from IBM, Medicover, and Infermedica. - We hope we can also open doors to more proactive medicine, with a private doctor monitoring patients' health and addressing problems before they become more difficult and costly to treat. It’s a step towards more human, value-based healthcare.
All of that in one monthly payment that you can cancel at any time.
