HealthTap now counts more than 38,000 physicians as part of its network — marking a near quadrupling over the past year, the company says. It also claims that it serves “tens of millions of people worldwide” through its website and apps.

"The results indicate that both awareness and knowledge are crucial to individuals engaging in proactive behavior to improve their condition."
