Our vision
People should have access to world-class medical expertise regardless of where they live.
The story behind Diagnose.me
In 2002, my first-born son suffered significant oxygen deprivation at birth, damaging his brain and lungs. Instead of us bringing him home, he was rushed to intensive care and hooked to machines for weeks. It was the start of a long fight for his life, filled with uncertainty and fear.
There were many ups and downs, but the devotion of the nurses and a dedicated young doctor were what truly made a difference. Realising the limitations of standard care, the doctor decided to seek alternative solutions. He consulted international specialists and applied methods that would otherwise not have been used. Ultimately, it was this decision, not modern equipment, that saved my son's life.

Stories like mine may be routine for healthcare workers, but they have a profound impact on the families involved. While some families are fortunate to access excellent care and expertise, many others are not. For me, this became a personal mission to ensure that families everywhere can consult skilled specialists who provide accurate diagnoses and treatment plans.

From an idea to reality
Diagnose.me started as a shared vision of co-founders Ivan Štefunko and Lukáš Alner. Shaped by their life-changing experiences and personal encounters with the healthcare system, they founded the company in 2012 to connect people to international medical specialists and help them make informed decisions about their health.
Over twelve years, Diagnose.me has grown into a global platform, supporting patients from more than eighty countries. Thanks to our partners, millions of clients now have access to our services free of charge. None of this would have been possible without our specialists. While balancing busy schedules at international clinics, they take extra time to support patients who would otherwise not have access to their expertise. They do it because they care.
