One of the creators of the Uber app is bringing the same idea to healthcare, with an application that lets New Yorkers summon a doctor when they need one. Pager is a new app that will show users a list of available doctors. If the user picks a doctor for an immediate consultation, she should get a call within five minutes. For $40, plus $10 for Pager, the doctor will consult by phone. For $250, plus $50 for Pager, the doctor will make a house call. So far, Pager has just 20 doctors and is available only in Manhattan.
