[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Remote medical platform DoctorNow announced on the 15th that the number of users exceeded 900,000 last month.
According to DoctorNow, the number of users in February reached approximately 900,000, and app downloads were about 600,000.

DoctorNow has partnered with over 600 medical institutions nationwide, making it the platform with the most medical professionals in the industry.
