Working as a young medico in a Melbourne maximum security prison, Dr Ben Hurst realised that perhaps one-on-one healthcare doesn’t necessarily help the most people manage their health problems, nor did it give him the creativity he desired.

That simple nugget of an idea that a patient could have access to a doctor’s schedule, that Ben Hurst says, just blew u...
