Who We Are

Doctor.am is a medical and healthcare technology platform established in 2004. Originally developed to provide reliable medical information and digital health resources, the platform has evolved to focus on English-language medical education, clinical data, healthcare software, and practical tools for healthcare professionals in the United States.
Today, our work is centered on developing evidence-based digital resources using authoritative medical terminology and clinical data sources, including the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), NIH resources, and the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS).

What We Do

Our current projects include:
Medical and clinical eBooks designed for healthcare professionals and specialized users in the United States. Educational and reference software for U.S.-certified pharmacy technicians, supporting medical terminology, pharmacology, medication-related knowledge, and professional education. Clinical and functional assessment software for functional capacity, strength, force, and other healthcare-related examinations. Structured medical data and terminology resources based on established standards and databases. Digital tools for healthcare professionals that combine medical knowledge, structured data, and practical clinical assessment.
Our goal is to transform reliable medical information and standardized clinical data into accessible, practical digital resources for the U.S. healthcare environment.

Our Approach

Doctor.am combines a long history in medical information technology with modern healthcare data and software development. We use recognized medical terminology and data resources, including NIH/NLM databases and UMLS, to support the development of accurate and structured educational and clinical tools.
While Doctor.am was originally created as an Armenian medical information website, our current content and software development are primarily English-language and oriented toward healthcare professionals and users in the United States.
Since 2004, Doctor.am has continued to evolve—from an early Armenian medical information portal into a broader medical data, education, and healthcare technology platform.

Doctor.am is one of the earliest Armenian medical and e-health websites, founded in 2004 with the mission of making reliable medical information accessible to the public through the internet.

From its early years, Doctor.am focused on digital health education, medical terminology, and structured healthcare information at a time when online medical resources in Armenian were extremely limited.
