The first e-health book was published by Dr. Tolf in collaboration with Max Holding. Doctorto is a leading e-health platform in Iran, which has been operating for many years in the field of online appointment scheduling, online consultation of doctors all over Iran, and recently added Doctorto Clinic to its previous services. Doctorto Clinic is a platform where people can receive the best clinical and paraclinical services. Doctorto's health magazine is one of the most important online magazines in the field of health, which has been the most visited among Iranians in the past years.

In 2023, due to the lack of a comprehensive and uniform definition of e-health industry terminology, in cooperation with Max Holding's content team, the doctorate content team decided to write and compile the first e-health book, and the book "Electronic Health in Iran and the World" was finally published in January 1402. To access this book, you can download it for free from the electronic health book page.

The first electronic health book in Iran

We cannot live without the Internet! This is not a big claim. Health is not a separate issue and it is more synchronized with technology day by day, so that in the era of electronic health (e-health), in order to improve the health of the society, the way of communication should also be reviewed and updated. By removing some traditional service delivery barriers, e-health improves access to care by making it easier for patients to communicate with healthcare providers. E-health also increases the quality of care by increasing the accuracy and completeness of medical records, increasing patient safety, improving patient outcomes, and increasing patient participation and satisfaction.

To achieve these goals, electronic health (e-health) should be established in the country with a correct infrastructure, codified rules and laws, and active supervision. Although several years have passed since the start of health startups in Iran, this ecosystem still faces many challenges. In this regard, the book "Electronic Health in the World and Iran" was published by the doctor team and in cooperation with Max Holding in 1402.

In this book, for the first time, we have given a precise definition of e-health and its background in order to review the rules and market size of this industry by relying on consistent and correct terminology. In addition, by collecting the opinions of other activists of this ecosystem along with the report of "Electronic Health Platform Doctorate", we have tried to get a clearer picture of electronic health in Iran.

Doctor, a pioneer in improving e-health literacy

Iran, like any other country and in sync with the world, has realized its urgent need to create electronic health (e-health) infrastructure in the country. In the past decades, with the development of the ecosystem in Iran, startups in the health field have also grown. These startups are in various health fields, such as health education and public awareness in the field of personal health, diagnostic tools, electronic health record (EHR), remote medical consultation, online appointment, online medicine services, testing and medical equipment in addition to caring for people and lifestyle. Of course, it seems that after Corona, telecare based on electronic services (e-service) has expanded. For this reason, the growing trend of a number of digital health startups should be considered.

"Electronic health platform Doctorto" is one of the most important players in the field of electronic health (e-health), which has been able to play a big role in online scheduling and online consultation. Doctorate also covers a large share of health awareness and information. Dr.to is an online appointment system and online medical consultation, which in recent years, in addition to these services, has been with the people of Iran and other Iranians abroad with online insurance and providing clinical and paraclinical services. Doctorto's main concern is facilitating the patient's access to the doctor.

Has your doctor been able to improve the health behaviors of the community or not?

It seems that doctorate, as one of the effective factors in promoting the country's electronic health communication (e-health communication), has also been effective in people's health behavior. In order to reach a definitive answer to this question, the result of which is given in a comprehensive report in the electronic health book, we tried to analyze and interpret the quantitative and qualitative data obtained from the Doctorto company, analyzing more than 300,000 views and a research of 10,000 people, to consider the impact of electronic health (e-health) on the behavior of Iranian people.

For this, we need to know what characteristics people consider for a suitable health and care system. In other words, what do people expect when visiting a doctor? Has the electronic health system been able to meet the demands of the Iranian people in terms of facilitating access to doctors? In order to answer these questions and by analyzing the data, we have reached interesting results.
