Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Healthcare

Dr Thom is an innovative healthcare app that removes barriers to healthcare access, particularly for Muslim women who have faced discrimination in healthcare services. The app allows patients to upload pictures of their symptoms, reducing the need for face-to-face consultations and providing a more efficient and accurate consultation process. This market-pull innovation addresses the issue of waiting times for appointments, which is a major problem in patient experiences in the UK government's focus on patient-centered care. An entrepreneur would require human, financial, and physical resources to build this app, including funding from government websites or other organizations.
