rapidly growing company that originated from Luxembourg with an
application and website that connect patients and doctors across
Europe. Patients can use _Doctena_ [https://www.doctena.com/about/] to

dentists, and physiotherapists. Geographical and (anonymised) medical
data is used to connect patients with the right health professional.
For example, patients can book an appointment with a health specialist
based on their geographical location, language, and the displayed
waiting times. The user satisfaction for the service is high, as 96%
of the users would recommend _Doctena_
[https://www.doctena.com/about/] to others and 1,400,000 appointments
are booked through the system per month. Patients experience less
waiting time and more flexibility to schedule an appointment 24/7.

Doctors and medical practices can register for the paid service

the subscription are that doctors have more time for their patients
and relieve their teams from some administrative duties thanks to
sharing of data on doctors’ medical expertise, waiting times,
geographical location or language ability.

practices calendars that they have made open, both for client purposes
