Geneva, Switzerland – 19 December 2000 - DrGlobe.com launches its "Secure Messaging Service" with online consulting features for doctors in Europe

Swiss-based DrGlobe.com has launched a new online service, which allows doctors and their patients to communicate with each other through a secure, confidential and central messaging system anytime, anywhere around the world. The service is also a new source for doctors to consult their patients online.

"Doctors want to use time-saving, cost effective and secure online tools to improve communication with their patients and yet ensure revenues from this process. DrGlobe.com messaging service provides just that. Our new online consulting tool makes doctor-patient communication efficient and more productive. Doctors can quickly reduce the time they spend on non-urgent inquiries and also generate revenues by using our online messaging service." states Mr. Ali Kursun, co-founder of DrGlobe.com.

With DrGlobe.com's messaging service, patients can ask specific questions regarding their condition and receive answers from their doctors through a secure, private and confidential system. The system allows doctors to define their own pricing scheme for each message and provides better tracking of patient communication and follow-up. The messaging system includes innovative features such as "waiting for reply listing" and "notification alerts". The new service will be an additional feature in DrGlobe.com's Health Account™ service for individuals and doctors.

DrGlobe.com is a privately owned company based in Geneva, Switzerland. The company provides Health Account™ services for individuals and doctors on the web. Just like a bank account where individuals keep their money, a Health Account™ is the place where individuals keep their personal health information. The Health Account™ service also allows doctors to access their patients' health information and save valuable time and cost in patient management. In addition to the Secure Messaging service, DrGlobe.com is developing a full range of online services for doctors and their patients in Europe.
