Business:

Docola aims to be a social good organization offering a free care communication platform that seeks to consolidate thousands of free and low-cost patient education resources from the leading nonprofit, government and commercial organizations in one online marketplace called Docola at the following websites: https://www.doco.la/ and https://www.docola.com/ (the “Platform”). (Incorporated in Delaware)

The Company operates in the telehealth industry, which has grown substantially since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic and which continues to grow at this time. According to an article published by McKinsey & Company on July 9, 2021, titled “Telehealth: A quarter-trillion-dollar post-COVID-19 reality?” in April 2020, overall telehealth utilization for office visits and outpatient care was 78 times higher than in February 2020. According to the same article, since the initial spike in April 2020, telehealth adoption overall has approached up to 17% of all outpatient and office visit claims with evaluation and management (“E&M”) services.

Our Platform allows users to easily create and upload their own resources. With the use of our Platform, clinicians and patient-facing professionals can ePrescribe personalized information to an individual patient or groups of patients. Patients can review the information and ask questions in the comfort of their own homes before, between, or after in-person or virtual visits. We aim to enable healthcare providers to proactively meet people’s health informational needs, so they understand why it is important, possible, and safe to participate in their own medical care. We aim to save time both for the patient and provider and improve patient satisfaction and patient outcomes.

Our Platform was developed by a team of clinicians who know from experience that better communication is essential to better patient care, understanding, and outcomes. We believe that patient centricity, collaboration, and transparency are the best ways to improve patient care. In order to continuously improve the Platform, the company aims to learn from millions of digital interactions between the platform and users, conversations with clinicians and patients, and ongoing research in asynchronous education.

Digital interactions occur every time a user, whether a patient, clinician, or content provider, interacts with Platform features and digital content, such as buttons, videos, images, surveys, and quizzes. These digital interactions are recorded through various means, including cookies, log files, and other tracking technologies. We believe that over time, using machine learning and AI technology, the collected data can be utilized to better understand usage patterns, improve our service offerings, identify new market needs, and increase timely patient access to needed information.

As a social good organization, our Platform is free to all healthcare providers, patients, advocates, and content providers. We intend that there always will be a free version of the platform in the future. As we move into the next growth phase, there will also be optional services that users can select on our Platform that come with an associated fee as further described in detail below.

We are passionately committed to unifying the healthcare experience. We believe access to information and care should be available to everyone. We aim to make it possible for clinicians to effectively share the right information at the right time with patients and families, so they can act on it. We believe that when clinicians proactively meet people’s informational needs, they understand why it’s important, possible, and safe to participate in their own care. This also helps people think about their goals and preferences, in order to have better conversations around healthcare. 

As of March 31, 2024, through purely organic growth, our Platform has approximately 61,150 users, including clinicians, patients, and content providers across the U.S., Canada and the U.K. With respect to users on the Platform, approximately 98% are patients and 2% are clinicians. The number of content providers at this time is negligible.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2023, the Platform had 60,348 total users, a 9% organic growth rate.

More from the prospectus: 

“To support the free version of the Platform, we offer optional paid services and license a separate product called DocolaRx, to research organizations, medical devices, biotech and pharmaceutical companies for their projects. The proceeds provide financial funding but they do not have any influence or interaction with our free service offering. The Company has one DocolaRx customer that has been using the Platform for several projects since 2016. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has generated $50,975 (85% of total revenue) and $46,500 (87% of total revenue) revenues from this DocolaRx customer, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023 we onboarded two new customers that are now using DocolaRx. One project fee is $5,000 and the other is $22,950. No new customers were onboarded during the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has also generated aggregate revenues of $9,287 and $6,667 from additional revenue streams including API licensing, content provision revenue sharing, and premium professional licensing. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has also generated aggregate revenues of $3,024 and $6,729, respectively, from additional revenue streams including API licensing, content provision revenue sharing, and premium professional licensing.

“To date, the Company has funded operations primarily through equity and debt financings. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we reported net losses of $516,310 and $2,438,893, respectively, and negative cash flow from operating activities of $308,256 and $132,804, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 we reported a net loss of $216,262, and negative cash flow from operating activities of $180,037. As noted in our financial statements, as of March 31, 2024 , the Company had an accumulated deficit of $4,357,902, and a working capital deficit of $945,218. There is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our historical recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations as well as our dependence on private equity and debt financing. See “Risk Factors—We have a history of operating losses, our management has concluded that factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our auditor has included an explanatory paragraph relating to our ability to continue as a going concern in its audit report for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.”

**Note: Net loss and revenue figures are for the 12 months that ended March 31, 2024.
