Information available and accessible over the internet has witnessed a surge over the last couple of years. One can now literally get details about almost anything online. Many are seeking and searching for information about politics, history, latest news and sports.
This is the age of digital media and solutions to almost everything in a typical day of an individual is being proffered online. Booking an hotel ahead of your trip, can be done online. If you're super tired and need food to be energized, you would be able to order it online. If you are looking to change houses or need a new space, lots of options are available online. You can even decide to do your grocery shopping online too.
Medical related searches has not taken a back seat as well. There are daily searches about symptoms, prescriptions and even possible diagnosis. One in 3 people self-diagnose on the basis of information gotten off the internet which isn't proven to be very reliable in addition about 80 percent of Internet users are seeking medical advice and health solution daily.
If we take all these into consideration, it becomes obvious that medical practitioners have a lot to gain by having an online presence and also need to leverage available technology and tools to increase their online visibility.
While there may be services that cater to patients needs online, it has become important for doctors to embrace the digital space.

It is important to point out that these data stems from the number of times an individual doctor was searched for by people on the DokiLink database.
