History

The company was launched in March 2011 by co-founders Nate Gross, [4] Jeff Tangney [5] and Shari Buck. [6]

By 2013, it became one of the largest networks for U.S. healthcare professionals, with approximately 10 percent of U.S. doctors as members. [7] [8] [9] By the beginning of 2014, 40 percent of U.S. physicians became members. [10] [11] In 2018, the company announced that it had reached 1 million members, accounting for more than 70 percent of U.S. physicians. [12] Today, Doximity serves more than 2 million registered members, including over 80 percent of U.S. physicians and over 50 percent of nurse practitioners and physician assistants. [13]

In 2016, the company was ranked #6 on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list. [14]

In November 2019, Doximity was listed on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list for the fourth consecutive year. [15]

In May 2020, Doximity Launched Dialer Video, a video telehealth app allowing physicians to video call patients through personal smartphones. [16]

In June 2020, Doximity Acquires THMED and launches the Curative Brand. Curative is a staffing and recruiting company offering permanent and Locum/Temporary placement services. [17] [18]

In May 2021, Doximity, a professional network for physicians with telehealth and scheduling tools, filed for an initial public offering (IPO) seeking to raise $100 million. Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan Securities were the lead underwriters for the IPO. Doximity raised nearly $606 million in its IPO. [19] [20]

Investors

In April 2014, the company announced it had raised a $54 million financing round led by the venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson and the mutual fund company T. Rowe Price. Morgan Stanley Investment Management also invested. This investment brought Doximity's total funding to $81 million. [21]

In 2016, Doximity built Dialer, a free communication tool for physicians to call their patients. The Doximity Dialer app allows physicians to call patients from their personal cell phone, and the patient sees the doctor's office number on caller ID. [24]

Dialer Video

In May 2020, Doximity released Dialer Video, a telemedicine tool that allows physicians to video call their patients directly from their own smartphones. [25]

In July 2020, Doximity said that more than 100,000 U.S. Doctors use Dialer Video, its telemedicine app. [26]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Telehealth</span> Health care by telecommunication

Telehealth is the distribution of health-related services and information via electronic information and telecommunication technologies. It allows long-distance patient and clinician contact, care, advice, reminders, education, intervention, monitoring, and remote admissions. Telemedicine is sometimes used as a synonym, or is used in a more limited sense to describe remote clinical services, such as diagnosis and monitoring. When rural settings, lack of transport, a lack of mobility, conditions due to outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics, decreased funding, or a lack of staff restrict access to care, telehealth may bridge the gap as well as provide distance-learning; meetings, supervision, and presentations between practitioners; online information and health data management and healthcare system integration. Telehealth could include two clinicians discussing a case over video conference; a robotic surgery occurring through remote access; physical therapy done via digital monitoring instruments, live feed and application combinations; tests being forwarded between facilities for interpretation by a higher specialist; home monitoring through continuous sending of patient health data; client to practitioner online conference; or even videophone interpretation during a consult.
