Knok is an early stage ‘Uber-style’ private health care platform founded by Jose Bastos. The idea came up when his chilren fell ill and Jose was unable to book an appointment with a doctor. Currently based in Portugal, Knok gives patients access to on-demand and in-person medical support. This is achieved through a native mobile app and web-application that allows patients to find doctors around them, request immediate home visits and pay for the appointment.
Knok has displayed clear product market fit (PMF) with strong growth in appointments with a large number of soft-traction points also achieved including pitching at WIRED, Health 2.0 and Porto Business School, with coverage on Portuguese TV and Forbes.
