Problems
People lack understanding and easy access to personalized healthcare.
- Our research shows that neither medical online appointment booking of highly curated doctors nor online self-help (e.g., primary assessment, self-care methods, home remedies) is readily available;
- Many people do not know that holistic approaches can work better with lower risk. Even existing users have difficulty selecting providers or self-care methods most suitable for them.
Conventional western medicine focuses on symptoms in a one-size fits all approach.
- Most prescription medicines are standardized for everyone; the exact dosage is prescribed regardless of size, age and the overall health of the person;
- Side effects from many of these treatments can end up being more damaging than the actual condition;
- Unlike conventional Western Medicine, Holistic Medicine, including self-help, heals the whole person, not just the symptoms.
People lack easy access to lower-cost self-care and an understanding of what's needed.
Without the right tool, it's tempting to either.
- Pay for an expensive doctor's visit when it's not necessary (e.g., issues that home remedies can heal).
OR
- Wait until it's too late (e.g., when a toothache extends to brain infection and more).
