Success to Date

  • TCE Group* has launched in Canada and in Egypt.
  • TCE Group provided services to over seventy patients through relationships with local clinics and US specialists.
  • TCE Group is in discussions with a multi clinic business in Egypt to use TCE Group’s Echo technology.
  • There are current efforts to expand 2MDOpinion into Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the UAE.

*TCE Group, a Canadian company that is solely owned by Amr Bannis (CEO of the Company), is an IBM business partner that uses watsonx.AI impeded technology in TCE Group's Echo technology for instant audio translation and automatic medical report generation.

Problem

Patients with serious medical diagnosis normally have multiple options of treatments each with its own benefits, risks and cost or insurance coverage. Every patient is seeking the best option that suits his/her particular medical and personal case. Finding the right medical specialist to confirm or suggest the best alternative treatment in a convenient & short time is often challenging. Normally patients have limited access to alternative treatment options within their geographical location. Also, connecting specialists in different languages or different time zones limits the patients’ access and makes providing medical service prohibitive.

Solution

The increasing complexity and severity of chronic diseases is compelling patients to seek second opinions from other physicians and healthcare experts to ensure proper diagnosis and optimal treatment plans. This is resulting in rising demand for medical second opinions.

The cancer segment dominated the medical second opinion market in 2024 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Rising prevalence of various types of cancers such as lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer and others is a key factor driving the segment. As per the WHO, cancer burden has risen to 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million cancer deaths in 2018. Growing awareness about seeking second opinions for complex cancer cases is also contributing to the growth of this segment.

2MDOpinion provides patients with convenient access to global specialists resolving complex appointment scheduling, using IBM watsonx.AI to automatically generate EMR medical reports and provides AI language translation, unlike competitor’s solution offered in one language in local regions with a limited number of specialists. With 100 languages supported and more than 50 specialities, the services reach is much higher than comparable services. Also, health insurance providers are encouraging the use of second medical opinions to avoid unnecessary medical interventions and curb healthcare costs.

In addition, 2MDOpinion offers triage support to patients helping them identify the most appropriate specialists to their medical case. Such convenience increases patients’ adoption and upsells other services such as medical tourism and offshore treatment generating additional higher value commissions & revenue.

Commercializing our language translation and automatic generation of EMR reports as a service directly to clinics, hospitals and physicians may generate additional high revenue streams as it can save clinicians 8 minutes per each encounter and up to 160 minutes per day.

The global medical second opinion market size is calculated at USD 7.12 billion in 2024 and is expected to be worth around USD 20.45 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 16.3% from 2024 to 2031.
