The web-based application from Bright.md makes it possible for patients to choose an electronic consultation with a physician who will determine a diagnosis and treatment plan that may include prescriptions. The visits are for minor issues, such as bladder infection, burn or sunburn, cough, cold and allergy, ear pain, flu and rashes, sinus issues and sore throat. (4/5/17)
