SeriousMD

SeriousMD was founded by Dennis Seymour, growing into the Philippines’ leading electronic medical records (EMR) and telemedicine practice-management platform for doctors, generally dated to between 2014 and 2016 depending on the source.

The platform gives individual doctors and clinics a way to manage patient records, appointments, and telemedicine consultations digitally, without the cost or complexity of enterprise hospital-grade EMR systems built for large institutions rather than solo or small-group practices.

SeriousMD has grown to more than 20,000 doctor users as of 2025 entirely on a bootstrapped basis — the founder has publicly stated the company has never raised external venture capital — making it one of the more notable self-funded scale stories in Philippine healthtech.

SeriousMD reached more than 20,000 doctor users without ever raising outside venture capital, according to its founder's own public statements — a genuinely rare bootstrapped-to-scale outcome in a healthtech category where most competitors have raised institutional funding to reach comparable size.
