DoctorLink
Doctorlink is using tech and machine learning to democratise access to healthcare. We help patients get the right medical advice, faster and more conveniently. Isn’t that a crowded marketplace? Maybe, but we’re different as we’re certified to give health advice without the need for confusing disclaimers. It’s this differentiator that has set us on a path of rapid UK and international growth.
Our vision is to reach over 500 million people. With backing from Eight Roads, the VC arm of Fidelity, and led by a team of clinical and technology professionals, we’re on a mission to drive market disruption by adopting tech as the key enabler.
Our automated CI/CD pipeline allows engineers to produce solutions that are valuable to real users the moment you finish typing semicolons.
By using these latest technologies and agile practices, our tech team is guiding DoctorLink on its way to becoming the de facto route for health and wellbeing.
The technology: C#, ASP.NET Core, Azure, Kubernetes, Event Driven Microservices, Serverless, Elasticsearch, Kibana, BigQuery, Kafka, React, Swift, Kotlin, GitHub, CircleCI.
