Swedish startup KRY lets users access healthcare virtually via its video chat platform and is available for both iOS and Android devices. The mobile app allows patients to conveniently book video appointments with certified practitioners in areas such as family health, psychology and child psychology, making in-person trips to the doctor's office a thing of the past.
In addition to bookings with a specific time slot. KRY also accommodates impromptu or "walk-in" bookings and aims to save both patients and practitioners time by treating conditions that don't require a physical exam virtually.
Furthermore, the KRY video chat platform allows for same day treatment, connecting users to a licensed psychologist or doctor right when they sign up versus having them wait for medical advice or treatment options.
