This document talks about our AI journey at iCliniq and the methodologies/assumptions we have taken. The reason we are posting it here is to collect feedback and improve ourselves with our AI journey.

We also hope that there are some takeaways for people who read this as well.

Building in public is definitely the way to go forward in AI.

ConvincerGPT is an expert in crafting compelling, emotionally resonant messages. Try and give your feedback on this. I will continuously improve this.

That is because this generation has lot of diversions. Focus is the key for research.

What is the name of the company you work for?

Guys. A lot of successful companies are getting created in Australia. Cliniko is one among them. Time and again, it's proven that 'perseverance' is the key.

Well. It looks like OUR slack bot was posted way too early even before the early crowd gets on board. :) Anyways we have got the feedback we need to get. Will work to improve the product soon. Especially to role out the enterprise version.

Good question, vkris. Actually the replies come on your personal "slackbot". So its completely secure and private as no one in your company or team can see it. To answer your question in simple words, this is indeed a SECRET way to get in touch with doctors.

Yes. But the concept is unique we suppose. :)

Hi Everyone,

The idea to make an app on slack to access icliniq's medical second opinion services is based on the belief that "messaging app as a platform" is the future. Slack is more than an app and essentially a community.

We are really excited to say that we are the FIRST in the world to do this on slack.

We are looking to launch on product hunt soon. We are looking forward for your comments and feedbacks to improve our product before launch. :)

Well. Guess you are specifically talking about USA.

We have users across 160 countries and we CLEARLY say we are a second opinion platform. Our doctors are licensed to practise in their respective geographies.

We get the best of doctors from each country to answer questions. This is another reason why icliniq is the most cost effective second opinion platform in the world.

We are able to leverage the best of doctors across borders for cost benefits. That's what we specialise in. Imagine asking a radiology opinion less than $20. :) We do that.

Lot of Americans goto Costa Rica and other countries for their surgical procedures because of the cost benefits and the same quality of medical treatment.

Cuba is supposed to be one of the best in the world for Eye surgeries. Lot of people from other countries go there.

We want to replicate this to the online space. :)

Thank you for your concern. Well. We have taken the best of security practises to avoid being hacked and we continuously upgrade our infrastructure to HIPAA standards.

Thank you very much. :) It looks like you have gone through our site in detail. We appreciate your feedback. Coming from a person like you who has written two books, we understand how lucid a content has to be.

We shall hire a content specialist. Can you suggest anyone?

You have clearly captured the situation. At icliniq, quality matters to us. Every doctor who registers at icliniq is stringently verified. And more than verification, we check every answer of a doctor with in an in-house moderation team. Before a doctor is allowed to answer real health queries, we give them simulated queries to know their quality. If they do not answer it well, we block them from answering any queries. Period.

You can check our quality of our answers here ---> https://www.icliniq.com/qa/medical-questions-answers

We acknowledge the fact there is no HIPAA certification. By certification, Marshal has meant that our developers need to get certification from a reputed training centre. (Although there are no Govt standards for testing). ----> https://www.truevault.com/blog/should-app-developers-get-hip...

Hi Guys, I am Dhruv, founder of icliniq.com. We already have three modes of accessing a doctor on icliniq viz. query, doctor call back and video consultation. And its exciting to say that we have solved 100,000 health issues for users across 160 countries.

With all the above happening, we were thinking of making an iOS app for icliniq. That's when we came across the fact that a normal person has 27 apps on his/her phone. But he/she would only 4-5 apps most of the time.And another 5-6 apps periodically. The most used apps would be IM apps or social network apps. So how do we make ourselves available on the most used app was our thought? We also wanted to be seamless. And that answer was icliniq on telegram with icliniq bot. Simply because telegram had wonderful API's to make it seamless. :)

We also got listed on product hunt --> http://www.producthunt.com/tech/icliniq-on-telegram
