Congrats to the Team - love the idea of empowering the patient in his/her care journey!! I'm wondering to what extent is your product catered to patients with "serious" long-term diseases that require specialist care who would presumably see greater benefit in such a service. Also, how do you plan to monetize - will doctors be paying a fee upon booking of an appointment? And how scalable is the offline booking of appointments? Finally - is it worth adding a functionality to see what payments doctors have been getting from pharma companies or is that taking it too far (I believe that's available via CMMS)?

@matsag123 Lots of great questions in here! We're just getting started, so some of these are open questions for us as well. To your first q, in user testing we did find that people with chronic or serious conditions thought the product was useful, often because it's challenging to find the experts on your own. This is especially true for folks outside big urban centers with research hospitals. That said, we're hoping to make Amino useful for health problems big and small -- whether you just moved and need to find a new primary or whether you have a diagnosis and need to find a specialist. My favorite tweet yesterday was from someone who put off seeing the doctor for years and managed to book an appointment in 5 minutes.
