Docola

Docola is a healthcare startup that provides a platform for healthcare providers to share information with patients individually or as a group between medical appointments. The company's mission is to enhance clinician-patient conversations and access to information, as they believe these are critical to making a positive difference in health outcomes. Founded in 2013 by clinicians, Docola consolidates thousands of free and low-cost patient educational resources from leading nonprofit, government, and commercial organizations into one marketplace. This unique approach ensures that individuals are informed and understand their condition or procedure, leading to better decisions and more trusting relationships with their care team. In February 2016, Docola received a $300,000 Seed Round investment from StartUp Health, indicating confidence from a prominent investor in the startup's potential. Docola operates in the Education, Health Care, and Information Technology industries and is headquartered in the United States. The company encourages content creators to proactively meet people’s informational needs before or between in-person or virtual visits and invites healthcare providers to join live demos or create a Free Clinician Account to experience how Docola can help in connecting and educating patients. This innovative approach to patient education and communication marks Docola as a promising player in the healthcare technology sphere.
