Consumer Focused Health

Image via WikipediaI’m excited to announce that HealthShoppr will be going live next week! As I’ve discussed with many of you, we currently don’t have a consumer-centered approach to finding and purchasing health services from health professionals.

HeathShoppr changes that dynamic by helping consumers “match” to best-fit healthcare professionals, based on the elements that they care about: reviews, available appointment times, experience, focus on specific issues, customization to meet the needs of specific populations, and clear prices.

We give our providers flexibility as well– they can charge the prices they feel are warranted for specific services and service levels– rewarding innovation in business models and encouraging the “focused factories” that allow for better orientation to specific needs.

We’ve started with massage therapy, as it is a field offering multiple creative approaches to improving flexibility, joint mobility, circulation, healing, and wellbeing while addressing structural causes of pain and discomfort. Massage can significantly decrease pain in the setting of advanced cancer, fibromyalgia, and headache. Yet for some reason, physicians appear more comfortable with symptom-masking pharmaceutical scripts than root-cause oriented physical therapies.

Look for us initially in Southern California.

I’ve attached a video with our demo. Stay tuned for more details as we launch!
