Doctorselite innovation is to try to create a directory of medical experts based on different segments, and it's a good attempt to start with a database of 500,000 medical experts. Users can search for databases based on diagnostics, therapies, medical accounts, and so on, and there is no charge for patients and relatives to use it. Patients can also store their medical records in an area on the site, not only very safe, but also very convenient for medical experts and their own view.

Doctorselite also set up a forum for doctors to discuss and consult each other based on their cases, through open forums or direct messages to achieve better treatment for patients. Doctors and patients are free to check cases, and other value-added services require a certain fee.

As with many startups, Doctorselite's generation is also rooted in one of the founders, Cyril V.k. Bethala own experience. He was an interventional cardiologist from Mississippi State Golfppott in the United States who had been working in a hospital and had been temporarily shut down in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, who himself had been stranded in hospital for several days.

When many doctors and patients left the disaster area, it was difficult to get a record of millions of patients, and it was difficult for the patient to reach the doctor. So Cyril V.k. Bethala wants to build a system that better improves the communication situation in the healthcare industry to prevent the same crisis in the future.

"Every place in the United States is likely to have natural disasters or other crisis situations, and when the crisis comes, the doctor and patient communication becomes extremely difficult," he said. Even under normal circumstances, it is sometimes difficult to find the right hospitals and doctors, let alone in special situations or in certain unpopular medical subjects, "Cyril V.K Bethala said.

Cyril V.K. Bethala based on the needs of people to build a doctorselite, however, whether the site can continue to grow as a business is still unknown. After all, the competition is fierce in this field, with other social networks based on patients and doctors including Sermo, Doximity, Carezone and HealthTap (last December, just from Eric Schmidt's Tomorrow Ventures and the Mayfield Fund and other successful financing 11.5 million dollars). There is also a more comprehensive health care portal WebMD.

In addition to Cyril V.k Bethala, Doctorselite's founders included Bethala several brothers, including gastrointestinal specialist Vivian Bethala, and Vasanth K. Bethala, a physician with interventional cardiology, Physician Yashashree Bethala.
