The document introduces InfoDocRx, a service that connects patients in the US with family physicians in India to provide health information consultations. It notes the growing need for such a service due to factors like physician shortages and the rise of chronic diseases. Patients could consult with an InfoDoc for 15 minutes to get personalized health information and advice without a physical exam or prescriptions. InfoDocs would have access to patients' medical histories and could consult specialists as needed. The goal is to empower consumers with health information while reducing costs and wait times compared to a traditional doctor's visit.
