Travelling abroad can quickly become stressful when unexpected health issues arise, especially when language barriers, unfamiliar healthcare systems, and limited access to trusted medical professionals delay treatment. As international travel continues to recover and digital healthcare becomes more widely accepted, travellers are increasingly seeking fast, reliable medical support that can be accessed from anywhere in the world. Telemedicine is helping reshape this experience by making healthcare available on demand, regardless of location. Italy founded healthtech startup Doctorsa is building a platform specifically for this growing need, and the company has now secured fresh funding to accelerate its international expansion and strengthen its technology platform.
Doctorsa has raised €1 million in funding in a round led by PranaVentures, with participation from Vento and 40Jemz Ventures.
The investment will support international growth, expansion of the company’s business partnerships, and further development of its digital healthcare platform.
Making Healthcare Accessible for Travellers
Founded in Milan by Nadia Neytcheva and Francesco Maria Serino, Doctorsa has been operating under its current brand since 2023.
The platform connects travellers with qualified doctors through a twenty four hour digital healthcare service designed specifically for people away from home.
Rather than requiring users to purchase subscriptions or long term memberships, the service allows travellers to access medical support whenever they need it.
Users simply describe their symptoms through the platform before being matched with an available doctor, typically within five minutes.
Consultations are conducted through video calls in English, and where appropriate, doctors can also provide medical advice and prescriptions.
Building a Global Medical Network
Doctorsa has established a network of more than 550 doctors operating across 40 countries.
The platform has already supported more than 250,000 travellers during its first three years of operation, reflecting growing demand for immediate healthcare access during international travel.
By offering consistent digital healthcare services across multiple countries, Doctorsa helps travellers receive timely medical assistance without navigating unfamiliar healthcare systems.
Its international network allows the company to deliver care regardless of where customers are travelling.
Introducing Agentic AI to Healthcare
Alongside its telemedicine platform, Doctorsa is investing in artificial intelligence to simplify healthcare access even further.
The company has developed its own Agentic Booking infrastructure, enabling users to arrange medical consultations directly through AI assistants built on open technology standards.
This approach allows travellers to request healthcare using their preferred AI tools while maintaining complete control over appointment booking and consultation management.
Doctorsa believes integrating artificial intelligence into healthcare access will make medical support faster, more intuitive, and easier to use during travel.
Expanding Into New Markets
The newly secured funding will help Doctorsa strengthen its presence in existing markets while accelerating international expansion.
One of the company’s primary priorities is the United States, where American travellers already represent approximately forty percent of its patient base.
Doctorsa also plans to introduce business focused healthcare solutions for travel companies, insurance providers, and employers seeking to integrate global digital healthcare services into customer products and employee wellbeing programmes.
These partnerships are expected to broaden the platform’s reach beyond individual travellers.
Supporting the Future of Travel Healthcare
As international travel becomes increasingly connected through digital services, access to immediate medical care is emerging as an important part of the overall travel experience.
Doctorsa aims to combine telemedicine, artificial intelligence, and a global physician network to make healthcare more accessible wherever travellers go.
With new investment supporting technology development and global expansion, the company is positioning itself to become a leading provider of digital healthcare services for international travellers while helping businesses integrate healthcare into the next generation of travel experiences.
