DOC2US Wins Award at The SOBA 2022 for the second consecutive year
Malaysia’s leading digital health and the largest e-prescription solution provider wins silver in the Best Innovation category for 2022, following their Rising Star category in 2021 at SOBA.
Malaysia, April 5, 2023 - DOC2US, has once again been recognised at the annual The Star Outstanding Business Awards (SOBA) 2022 held in March, 2023. This time, the company has won the Best Innovation award for their Electronic Prescribing System (EPS) technology. In 2021, DOC2US was awarded the Rising Star category, for their innovative approach to their digital healthcare services and stellar growth of the company in Malaysia.
"We are honored that our contributions are given recognition by SOBA for the second year in a row," said Dr. Raymond Choy, the CEO & Co-founder of DOC2US. "Since then, our hardworking team has grown significantly in both size and competence, which is reflected in our milestone today. The award also gives homage to our innovative solution provided to Malaysians, and we are grateful for this. We remain motivated and committed to our purpose of making healthcare accessible and affordable to everyone."
DOC2US’ EPS technology is the first digital prescribing solution that allows medical doctors to remotely prescribe medications electronically, directly linked to more than 1,500 partner pharmacies’ systems nationwide. This solution is refinement of the way prescriptions are traditionally processed and has made it more traceable and transparent for patients when receiving their medications. The system also eliminates errors associated with traditional paper prescriptions, such as illegible handwriting and missing information.
The importance of telehealth services has been emphasised more than ever before. DOC2US has been at the forefront of providing high-quality primary care medical services to patients, without the need for physical visits to clinics. The company aims to free up resources and manpower at physical medical facilities, allowing them to tend to more serious and urgent cases in addition to alleviating the burden on the public healthcare system.
“After our recent achievement last year of 1 million e-prescriptions generated nationwide, we foresee the application of digital health and e-prescriptions becoming more apparent. We want to make primary level healthcare more convenient, equitable, affordable, and available for patients without the need to travel long distances or wait in long lines, especially those who are disabled, pregnant, bed-ridden, aged or have mobility issues.” Dr Choy added.
The Star SOBA Awards is an annual event organised by The Star Media Group, that recognises the outstanding achievements of up-and-coming, non-listed, small-medium businesses and start-ups, and their contributions to the Malaysian economy. The Best Innovation category is awarded to companies with the most innovative ideas, processes, products, and services that have contributed to the success of the companies and their stakeholders.
