HA Telehealth is a telehealth application that provides a private liaison between a physician and a patient who is suffering from a Herpes outbreak. Through our platform, the physician will have access to a patient’s basic information, photos of the herpes outbreak, and an answered questionnaire that the patient previously filled out. The physician will use the application to diagnose a patient who is experiencing herpes symptoms and whether the patient would need a prescription. HerpAlert ensures protection through our encrypted and secure algorithm. Patient privacy and security is our utmost concern. The patient's information is only seen by their assigned physician. Furthermore, after receiving a diagnosis and prescription, the patient's personal information is completely deleted and destroyed from our database. The Herpes Simplex Virus is one of the most prevalent STDs and unlike its counterparts, HSV can’t be cured. Research shows that 2 in 3 people are infected with HSV1 while 1 in 5 people are infected with HSV2. An estimated 776,000 new cases of HSV2 occur each year in the U.S. HerpAlert will help millions of people receive a prescription before and during an outbreak. HerpAlert has teamed up with physicians who share the same passion in relieving the Herpes Simplex Virus stigma by helping our patients receive a prescription before a nasty outbreak.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iVisit at 85% against DocAlert's 0%. iVisit also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). DocAlert's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
