Legal changes that will allow telemedicine in Doctolib are set to benefit a local start-up. Doctolib is a platform used by 500 practitioners to organise their calendars, and from January 1st people will be able to book face-to-face and remote appointments on its website. The latter can still only be done with patients known by a doctor, but the company wants those paying for its services to be able to do so and is already testing it with 60,000 practitioners. Doctolib intends to open a specific health centre and hire 60,000 engineers for the service.
