Geoff Rutledge, MD, phd

Physician, Chief Medical Officer and HealthTap Cofounder

I have been active as a physician, teacher, researcher, consultant, and medical executive who applies computer-based technologies to improve healthcare. I combine 25 years of clinical practice as an Emergency Physician and Internist with computer science and informatics training and experience to develop new technology solutions in healthcare.

At HealthTap, we have created the leading technology solution that delivers a highly effective, efficient, delightful experience for people who have health concerns or need health care. The HealthTap service is powered by trusted peer-reviewed answers from our network of credentialed doctors, and incorporates a doctor crowd-sourced AI symptom assessment, immediate access to a primary care doctor, lab testing, electronic prescriptions, referrals, and automated reminders to follow the doctor's recommended treatments. 25% of our enrolled members access the service every month! People love the app (NPS is 65), and doctors enjoy helping people with answers to their questions and by learning from peer-reviewing other doctors' answers. A select set of doctors in the HealthTap Medical Group also give one-on-one care via text, audio and video.

I built the HealthTap Doctor Network, where more than 95,000 US-licensed doctors in 147 specialties have helped hundreds of millions of people online and through their mobile devices, giving 2.7 million answers to health questions (so far), and doing more than 3 million peer reviews of other doctors' answers.

HealthTap's platform demonstrates the power of mobile interactive technology to enable doctors to deliver better, more efficient and cost-effective healthcare that truly delights both doctors and their patients. (Doctors can sign up here:
