Practo is one of the oldest online platforms that offer various services such as doctor appointment booking, booking diagnostic tests, consultations, etc.  It has come a long way from being a simple information website to one of the largest and complete healthcare-related online service providers.

The Practo clone script is an innovative solution built on the same attributes of the older Practo App but with much, more advanced features.  It not only provides options such as consultation and diagnostics booking but also caters to doctors, patients, global caretakers, and many other industries associated with the health sector. 

It also offers end-to-end health industry solutions such as services like telehealth, telemedicine, telecare, and digital health care services.

Similar to every other service and sector that is now turning towards technological advancements and easier-to-use online solutions, the health sector is witnessing a revolutionary technological change too. 

Even before the pandemic, almost 40% of the western nation doctors had embraced digitized consultations and appointment bookings.  After the pandemic, the online bookings and consultation numbers are now close to 100 percent. 

In fact, Practo has witnessed a 500% increase in user engagement since March 2020.  The app now boasts of more than 5 crore subscribers who access its health care services online. 

An online report suggests that by 2025 the Telemedicine market in India is expected to create $ 5.4 billion worth of market opportunities.

What is a Doctor’s Appointment App?

The doctor’s appointment helps users or patients to find the best primary care doctor near them.  It also allows them to book appointments via smartphones or web pages, making the process more convenient and easier for the health care industry. 

The Practo clone not only acts as a bridge between the patient and doctor but with the added features, patients and users can now also order diagnostic tests and medicines online.

Why develop a Doctor’s appointment mobile App or Practo Clone for your business?

Whether you are an individual, organization, or owner of a hospital or clinic, most growing medical practices, and health care solutions are going online with appointment scheduling systems.

With the advancement in technology, the doctor’s appointment app is now touted as the future of modern medicine and is a boon for patients and caretakers alike.  These days, with the online doctor’s on-demand app, the typical patient wait time is just 5 minutes. 

This is a revolutionary achievement since the previous wait time was for hours.  Similarly, services such as diagnostic bookings and medicine online ordering are witnessing a huge change and success in business dynamics. 

The market for online health care services is growing at massive speeds and the potential for profits and business growth is exponential.  Looking at the current statistics, the market for Doctor’s booking app is not yet saturated, making it a great option to venture into.

Also, with the advent of the worldwide pandemic, government across the globe have relaxed regulations around remote/online delivery of healthcare services and now allows telemedicine advice and appointments via video, audio, or text, etc.

India already has a shortage of 200 thousand doctors and around 2 million nurses.  Your online healthcare and doctor appointment app has the opportunity to fill in the huge vacuum materialized due to a lack of experienced healthcare professionals.

How can you make money with the Doctor appointment/Practo clone app?

After creating an online doctor’s appointment/telehealth services app, you can start generating revenue by using these business models:

  1. Commissions – You can generate revenue through commissions for every sale happening through the platform.  This option is used by almost all types of health care teleservice apps including Practo, Doctor on Demand, mfine, etc.
  • Featured listings advertisements – Your Practo script app can be integrated with an advertising algorithm that pushes up the Doctors, pharma companies, etc., profiles on top of search to enhance their visibility.  In this way, you can charge an advertisement fee to various telehealth service providers.
  • Subscription-based model – Doctors, various health care service providers,  pharma companies, etc., can subscribe to access your health teleservices app platform on a monthly or annual basis which can generate a substantial income for your app.
  • Shipping fee – In case your Doctor Appointment app is integrated with Online Medicine booking features, you can utilize private logistic firms to deliver them to the patients.  This feature enables you to charge them a shipping fee based on distance!

The most important aspect is that your Doctor appointment or Practo clone app should add value to the user’s time and money.  A slow app with technical issues and constant breakdowns is the last thing your users would want.
