- Canada’s Ismaël Koné fractured both his tibia and fibula in the second half of the World Cup match against Qatar. Within moments, the medical staff was on the pitch. He received immediate care and underwent surgery soon after. That response was possible because elite medical
Most people do not have that infrastructure. The gap between “Something is happening,” and “I know what to do next," can feel enormous. That uncertainty is the gap Doctronic was built to help with. Free, instant AI-powered health guidance when you need help understanding your - Doctronic reposted
I LOVE this opinion in @washingtonpost from @ZekeEmanuel and Miriam J. Paramore. When a generic drug costs nothing, patients abandon it less than 5% of the time. But as the costs go up so does the abandonment. Makes sense, right? Past $125 and abandonment hits 45%. Past $500, - Doctronic repostedSo @doctronic fixed primary care pricing. A doctor visit that runs $150-300 uninsured? Ours is $39. No insurance needed (though we accept it if you want to use it), no surprise bill, no games, and a money back guarantee! Oh and prescription renewals in Utah are $0 and are $19
- 100+ medical incidents were reported during opening day celebrations at Houston’s FIFA Fan Festival. Four people were transported to hospitals for heat-related concerns. That was just one day in one city. The World Cup runs for 39 days across 16 host cities, including 11 in
Doctors are already preparing for one of the most predictable risks: heat-related illness. But for millions of international visitors, there’s another challenge waiting in the background: Understanding the US healthcare system. Many visitors come from countries where - It was sepsis - and it nearly killed her. Fever. Body aches. Exhaustion. The symptoms of sepsis can look almost identical to a common illness. For one Virginia Beach mother, that confusion led to 10 days in the ICU and 5 days in a medically induced coma. She said if she had
Every hour sepsis goes untreated, the mortality rate increases by up to 8%. Most people have never heard of sepsis. That gap in awareness is part of what makes it so dangerous. Knowing when something feels wrong and getting an expert read on it quickly can be the difference - Healthcare shouldn’t be hard to access. The price shouldn’t be hidden. @doctronic now connects patients to @costplusdrugs at the point of care — low-cost, high-quality medications at a fair, transparent price. Joining forces to make affordable healthcare a reality. More to
- Doctronic repostedToday at the AWS Summit NYC I'm on a panel on building autonomous workforce systems. The questions are difficult and deserve meaningful answers: where does the agent live, when must it defer to a human, and what's the metric that proves it works? @doctronic is putting agents in a
- 32 million Americans were under heat advisories in May. It was only the second time New York City had ever issued a heat advisory in May. Cities including Boston, Raleigh, and Washington, D.C. saw record-breaking temperatures. Heat illness can move fast, especially for older
- Researchers just demonstrated a contact-lens-shaped device that can reshape the cornea using electricity. No lasers. No incisions. Just about one minute of treatment in early laboratory tests on rabbit eyes. Researchers were able to reshape corneal tissue in a way that could
The implications, if this approach proves safe and effective in human trials, could be significant. LASIK today requires trained surgeons, specialized equipment, and access to an ophthalmology center. A simpler approach could one day help make vision correction available to more - AI found cancer hiding in a scan his doctors said was clear. Fang Jiacai is 54. He went to his local hospital in eastern China for a persistent cough. His chest CT came back normal, so he went home. Days later, the hospital called. An AI system reviewing his scan had flagged a
His first reaction: "I almost dismissed the call as a scam." Tests confirmed a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, the same rare cancer Steve Jobs was diagnosed with. Because it was caught early, surgeons removed it with minimally invasive surgery. Fang made a full recovery. - One donation. Up to three lives saved. Today is World Blood Donor Day. Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. About 6.8 million people donate each year. The need is always greater. New gene-editing therapies for conditions like sickle cell disease are showing
- You've probably been there. Something feels off. You call to make an appointment. The earliest opening is a month away. So you wait. Or you spiral through Google. Or you just hope it resolves on its own.
A 2025 AMN Healthcare survey found the average wait time for a new doctor is now 31 days. That number has real consequences for real families. Doctronic doesn't replace your doctor. But when the answer can't wait 31 days, it makes sure you're not left without one.
