MobiDoctor contributes to reintegrate female healthcare providers (HCPs) excluded from the workforce by using a digital health platform that connects remotely-located female doctors (working from home) to health consumers in need, via trusted intermediaries such as tablet-equipped nurse/midwife-assisted video-consultation (telemedicine). By creating a workforce on the supply side, MobiDoctor is able to match the capacity of female doctors to the unmet needs of millions of underserved Pakistanis, including those in corporate value chains (smallholder suppliers, distributors, retailers, micro-retailers, including their spouse, children and parents). Lower-middle income frontline health workers (community health promoters, nurses and midwives) are recruited, trained and equipped with technology - hardware, software and wifi/broadband connectivity. They are then deployed in corporate offices, factories, retail clinics and ambulances where they are able to connect health consumers (especially female workers who otherwise have highly restricted access to women's health) to remotely located female doctors. These intermediaries are trained to conduct sophisticated diagnostic and interventional procedures under the supervision and guidance of a remotely located (home-based) female doctor.
