RelyMD Makes Seeing a Doctor Even Easier With Mobile App

Raleigh, N.C., July 7, 2015 (Newswire.com) - RelyMD, North Carolina’s only online urgent care service that provides safe, effective and convenient medical care for both children and adults via video appointments, is now available via mobile app. This development allows for patient-doctor interactions through Apple or Android smartphones or tablets.

The statewide online urgent care service that averages wait times for patients of less than 10 minutes, provides 24/7 access to board-certified doctors for both children and adults. RelyMD’s telemedicine approach allows the patient to quickly schedule a video appointment – via an internet connection and web browser or the newly released app on a smartphone or tablet – with one of RelyMD’s 90 doctors. The platform is a time- and cost-effective alternative to emergency rooms and urgent care facilities where the visit can last for hours and often cost more than $1,000.

While convenience has always been a primary benefit of RelyMD, seeing a doctor is now more accessible than ever with the development of the mobile app for Apple and Android devices.

“People do everything from banking to planning a vacation on their smartphones and tablets,” said Bobby Park, director of telemedicine at RelyMD. “Why should seeing a doctor be any different? We’re very excited to be able to provide affordable, secure and convenient care through our new mobile app.”

The new mobile app is free to download and the fee for an appointment with a RelyMD physician is $49.95. RelyMD recognizes the sensitive nature of a doctor’s appointment and has designed the app on a highly secure platform created by a company that specializes in cybersecurity for the Department of Defense, in which the protection of data is essential.

The RelyMD app is available in the Apple and Google Play stores by searching “RelyMD.”
