Hi, My name is Brian Jacob, and I am Co-Founder and CEO of Waitsup.com

What is Waitsup.com – The Elevator Pitch.

    “Think OpenTable in the front-end, and Facebook in the back-end for a complete patient/physician interaction.”

The goal is to empower the patients to be able to find the right kind of doctor, at the: right time / location / gender / accepted insurance /  and with the best reviews. And of course help them wait less everywhere while they do those things! We do all of this and still offer the service for free for both doctors, and patients!

Our approach starts with search and schedule. We already have 3 million medical profiles.

Our 2nd focus is waiting room automation, and reducing non clinical waiting (tele-medicine, and pharmacies etc). Fill in your initial medical consultation paperwork once. The system will ask questions in a timely fashion (ex did you stop smoking, drinking etc). Don’t you just hate filling this in each and every time you see a new doctor? Also get notified if the office visit is running late on your mobile or in your email.

Our 3rd focus is connection. Connecting the patient to the Doctor.  By allowing the patient to control their complete medical records, post op care guides etc, they hold a greater entitlement to their health history. Integration with nike+, mapmyride, mapmyrun and more creates a way for the patient to use the tool more often, and their doctors to monitor the progress. When they change doctors, they control the record. They can share them in whichever way they would like. Allowing the doctors to incorporate their blogs, social networks, and media, they help create a live conversation.
