Rachid Maou, an Algerian entrepreneur who earned a master's degree in computer science from Badji Mokhtar Annaba University in 2011, is the co-founder and general manager of DZDOC, a health tech startup.

Founded in 2015, DZDOC developed a multi-service online medical platform. For patients, the platform simplifies access to care by allowing them to search for and book appointments with doctors. The service is free and includes appointment reminders via text message or email.

The platform provides healthcare professionals with management tools for scheduling, video consultations, patient monitoring, and interpreting results. Its stated goal is to improve healthcare accessibility in Algeria through digital tools.

DZDOC also provides medical information content and allows users to save their favorite practitioners for easy access. The company was named Algeria's best health website at the 2016 Algeria Web Awards. It now has more than 21,300 registered practitioners and thousands of daily users.

Maou's first venture was Khidma Tech, an IT company he founded in 2013, and where he serves as director. The company designs, publishes, and develops software, websites, and online platforms. He is also the co-founder and director of Hotelo, a solution for hoteliers to manage their daily operations.
