title: Online consulting. The experience of a commercial service.
abstract: Doctor Global Ltd began online consulting in April 1999. It was one of the first online medical consulting services in the world. Doctor Global does not derive a significant portion of its income from providing or supervising online consultations via its Website, although experience with enabling them has been important for the development of its core product, a consumer-oriented Web-based electronic medical record.
