DocMatter operates a specialized, global collaboration platform designed for the medical community. Founded in 2012 by brothers David and Eric Applegate, the San Francisco-based company aims to translate the dynamics of in-person medical consultations and conferences into a secure, online environment. David Applegate, the CEO, previously worked as a Portfolio Manager at HQ Trust and in Asset Management at Thomas Weisel Partners. Eric Applegate serves as the company's President.
The core of DocMatter's business is a peer-to-peer collaboration platform that enables healthcare professionals to share knowledge, discuss complex clinical cases, and stay informed about the latest research and best practices. The service is built to support various forms of peer learning, such as case conferences, journal clubs, and discussions on emerging technologies. The platform is structured to be a secure and private forum, distinguishing it from general social media sites. A key feature is the human-supported element; content is reviewed by DocMatter staff to ensure it complies with a code of conduct and legal standards like HIPAA before being published. Additionally, each member is paired with a DocMatter team member who provides technical support and helps personalize the user experience.
The company's business model appears to be centered on partnerships with medical associations and societies, offering the platform as an exclusive member benefit. These partnerships provide physicians with a dedicated space for professional discourse without advertisements. The platform facilitates discussions on a wide range of topics, including clinical challenges, practice management, and coding issues. DocMatter reports representation from over 30,000 institutions across more than 140 countries, covering all medical specialties. The company has raised a total of $10.5M in funding, including a Series A round of $8.54M on March 13, 2018, with investors like Tullis Health Investors and Katalyst Ventures.
