Proximus : and Domus Medica join forces with the Doktr app

In June 2021, Proximus launched the Doktr app, which allows patients to consult a qualified doctor digitally in a user-friendly and secure way. From the outset, Doktr has strongly focused on conducting an active and constructive dialog with other players who want to help shape the development of video consultations. This co-creation with local ecosystems should promote the wide accessibility of video consultations in Belgian healthcare and contribute to the continuous improvement of the functionalities offered by the Doktr platform.

Domus Medica welcomes innovations in the field of medicine, especially when these have already proven their worth, such as the introduction of teleconsultations during the pandemic. Consequently, Domus Medica is, like Doktr, in favor of a hybrid care model in which teleconsultations can be a valuable addition to regular consultations. A survey conducted by Domus Medica among 350 doctors shows that a majority of them share this opinion. As early as October 2020, 89% of the respondents could envisage a permanent place for teleconsultations in their practice. The hybrid care model offers advantages not only for the general practitioner, but also for the patient. For example, the patient is not required to travel to the practice to see a doctor every time. Further analyzing and defining where these teleconsultations can be used will be one of the areas on which Domus Medica will focus.
