Abstract

Getting appropriate healthcare is a challenge to the citizens in Malaysia due to the limited facilities, healthcare providers, and cost of healthcare. Uberization of healthcare will help fill this gap. Uberization helps modify the market or economic model with the introduction of a cheaper and more effective alternative service by introducing a different way of buying or using it, with the use of mobile technology. With powerful artificial intelligence engines operating on cloud servers, mobile apps can provide a better healthcare experience for patients. With uberization application, the patient need not come to the hospital to see a doctor before a treatment can be planned. Once a request is made by the patient, the healthcare providers can come to see the patient at an agreed place. This article aims to explore the possible uberization of healthcare in Malaysia.
