GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Engineers Suleiman al-Lawh, 25, and Tasneem al-Sheikh Khalil, 24, are about to launch an online medical consultation app called Al-Mosheb (The Scientist). The app allows patients to communicate with specialized doctors in the health and psychology fields online in return for a fee.
A pilot app was launched Nov. 1 on Google Play for smartphones, allowing its subscribers in the Gaza Strip to communicate with 120 doctors in the fields of psychological and physical health through text messages, video calls or voice calls, and to attach medical tests or prescriptions.
