The Convergence of Wearable Health Tech and Telemedicine

You're looking for a convenient, discreet way to manage your health needs, and Hi Doctor provides just that. Whether it's for hair loss, weight management, or sexual health, you can get the medication prescription online from an EU-licensed doctor. We connect you with qualified medical professionals who review your case individually, ensuring you receive appropriate care. The process is simple, fast, and entirely online: a €25 flat online consultation fee, a prescription issued in under 24 hours if appropriate, and it's valid at any pharmacy across the EU. And there's no risk — if the doctor determines the treatment is not right for you, your €25 fee is refunded.

How it works: get your prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill out the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor decides the treatment is not appropriate, your €25 is refunded automatically, so there is no risk.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for the medication

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to ensure the medication is safe and effective for you. They review your medical history, current health status, and any contraindications. For weight management medications like GLP-1s, for example, the doctor will consider your BMI, any existing health conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, and other factors to determine if the treatment is appropriate for you. Your safety is our priority, and our doctors adhere to strict medical guidelines.

What the medication actually does (and doesn't do)

The specific medication prescribed will depend on your individual needs and the doctor's assessment. For instance, medications for hair loss work by targeting specific hormones or stimulating hair follicles. Weight management medications, such as GLP-1 agonists, often work by regulating appetite and blood sugar, leading to reduced calorie intake and weight loss over time. It's important to understand that these medications are part of a comprehensive treatment plan and are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes. Results vary by individual, and it's not a quick fix but a tool to support your health journey.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, there can be side effects. Our doctors will discuss potential side effects relevant to your prescribed medication during your consultation. Common side effects are often mild and temporary, such as nausea or digestive issues for weight management drugs. It's crucial to inform your doctor if you experience any severe or persistent side effects. You should stop the medication and seek immediate medical attention if you experience serious adverse reactions. Your doctor will provide clear guidance on what to watch for and when to discontinue treatment.
