Description:
Ask The Doctor is a global company operating at the intersection of health and technology. Every day thousands of people from around the world use Ask The Doctor’s question form to ask their sensitive medical questions to a community of over 20,000+ general physicians and specialists. Once the questions are answered, they are published with all personal sensitive information removed, creating the worlds largest library of doctor-created knowledge. These question and answer pairs are proving to be very valuable as they are used by the National Institues of Health for AI research and to identify unmet medical needs.

With the tremendous amount of gaps in healthcare systems around the world, Ask The Doctor is trying to make physicians more accessible and their platform has done just that helping over 13 million plus patients to date.

Because of this demand, Ask The Doctor decided it wanted to help our future leaders who share their vision of using technology to bridge gaps in healthcare. “We are pleased to announce our $1 million scholarship pledge” says Prakash Chand, CEO of Ask The Doctor. “This initiative will help us aid the next generation of leaders who will shape the future of modern healthcare.”

The scholarship is in the name of original Ask The Doctor founder, Dr. Patrick A. Golden’s wife, Mrs. Eloise Golden who passed away in early 2015. “She was an amazing lady, who was always there being our number one cheerleader and supporter even after I took over the site from Dr. Patrick Golden in 2010,” says Chand. “She was very heavily involved in giving back to the community and I know she’s up above smiling down on all of us today.”

Each year Ask The Doctor will be giving away multiple $5000 scholarships to students accepted into 1st year of an accredited college or university with a strong desire to help the advancement of healthcare and technology.
