What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Doctor on Demand

  • Patients seeking urgent care for acute conditions (cold, flu, UTI, strep throat) available 24/7not Lunit

Lunit

  • A tuberculosis or lung screening programme in a high volume, radiologist scarce setting using chest radiography triage to prioritise filmsnot Doctor on Demand

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Doctor on Demand

  • Out-of-pocket costs without insurance: urgent care $99, therapy $134, psychiatry $299 per visit; no subscription model disclosed
  • Limited scope: urgent care only for non-emergency conditions; does not handle hospital-level care or complex surgeries

Lunit

  • The regulatory permission differs by product and by region, and INSIGHT Risk has been filed with the FDA but not cleared, so a buyer who reads a corporate press release rather than the specific clearance for their product and jurisdiction will plan a deployment they cannot legally run.
  • Detection AI changes recall rates in screening, and the downstream cost of additional diagnostic workup lands on the programme rather than on the software budget, which is the cost most screening business cases omit.
  • Performance is sensitive to the mammography vendor and acquisition protocol, so published results from a Hologic estate do not transfer to a GE or Siemens estate without local validation the buyer must fund.
  • MMG, DBT and CXR are licensed separately and Volpara modules are separate again, so a breast centre wanting detection, density and risk pathways is assembling four line items rather than buying one product.
  • Using AI as a replacement for one of two human readers is a workforce and liability decision that regulators and professional bodies treat differently in each country, so the saving that justifies the purchase may not be permitted where you operate.
