SavvyDoc is a web-based platform for doctors to market their practice and allow patients to make an appointment instantly. Patients will use the SavvyDoc platform to learn more about prospective healthcare providers by researching doctor profiles which will include anonymous patient reviews of doctors. In essence this platform will create a network of doctors similar to social networking sites such as Facebook, LinkedIN and MySpace with the added benefit of an appointment system similar to sites such as Opentable. Currently very few private practice doctors have tapped into the marketing power of the internet and those that have are incurring the high cost of operating a stand alone website and the necessary advertising costs to drive traffic to such stand alone websites. Through the SavvyDoc platform, doctors will be able to easily create a unique profile to market their practice to prospective patients and will be able to incorporate patients into a growing practice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with an internet based appointment system. Our business model entails licensing our software, online advertising targeting physicians and patients separately, a research arm compiling research on the trends in the Health 2.0 space, and although free for patients, we charge the physician per appointment made on the site.
SavvyDoc was founded by Emile Cambry, Jr. and Dr. William Dorsey. Mr. Cambry received his undergraduate degree from the University of Chicago and his MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. Dr. Dorsey received his undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia and completed his medical school studies at the University of Michigan. SavvyDoc intends to target doctors and practice groups that desire to grow their practices through web-based marketing. SavvyDoc will also attract doctors who want to give their patients the added convenience of making appointments on-line. The inherent transparency of an on-line appointment system, which allows a patient access to all open doctor appointments, is a value added to doctors and patients. Thus, patients will be able to make a same day appointment or an appointment three months in advance with any doctor in our SavvyDoc database. The SavvyDoc website will allow patients to search for a doctor by specialty, location, insurances accepted and appointment availability. Each doctor will be able to champion their unique qualities through a profile page that will allow doctors to market themselves with text, pictures and video.
