ATLANTA, June 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today MYidealDOCTOR, a leading provider of cloud-based telemedicine and mHealth services, announced that it has received an investment from ValorBridge Partners, an Atlanta- and New York-based holding company that invests in leading-edge healthcare companies and adjacent markets. MYidealDOCTOR will use the investment to grow its technology team, expand the functionality of its mobile application, and boost sales and product marketing.

ValorBridge's operating companies include ApolloMD, a multi-specialty physician practice that provides emergency medicine, anesthesia, radiology, and other services to hospitals. ApolloMD has more than 1,000 providers, some of who will be reachable through MYidealDOCTOR. 

"We are thrilled to receive this strategic investment from ValorBridge," said Adrian Davis, CEO and founder, MYidealDOCTOR. "The investment and ValorBridge's healthcare market expertise will allow us to accelerate the delivery of top-notch telehealth solutions in order to give consumers as many options as possible, all while decreasing costs and improving access to care."

"Consumer demand is making its mark on healthcare, and telehealth provides unmatched convenience and value for patients shopping for care."

In the U.S., nearly two-thirds of Americans own smartphones. Of those owners, 62 percent have used their phone in the past year to look up information about a specific health condition.¹ Using a mobile device to consult with a doctor is a natural extension of this already mainstream behavior.
