I’m excited to share about the telehealth opportunities in the fast growing medical spa industry
SAN JOSE, Calif. (PRWEB)
September 11, 2019
Alain Gazaui, chief executive of SpaKinect Corp–a centralized telehealth practitioners network for real time delivery of medical spa treatment approvals, will be speaking on emerging markets and telehealth models for the medical spa and aesthetic medicine industry at Telehealth Secrets Conference October 2-4, 2019 in Silicon Valley.
Gazaui brings an extensive history in healthcare technology to the firm. After graduating from USC, he started a pharmaceutical repacking business, designed for physicians to offer in office medicine fulfillment for patients, while capturing a much needed revenue stream. He then joined Chartscape, a leading EMR provider with clientele such as UCLA Oncology and the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center. Using those experiences, he then founded a managed service organization that began using telemedicine as a way to offer reduced cost services to medical organizations spanning wide geographic areas. This led to the starting of SpaKinect and the force behind its successful expansion. Alain prioritizes collaborative approaches to operations and the principle that defined business alignment is a dependency to achieve rapid growth.
Telehealth offers on-demand face-to-face video sessions between medical spa patients and providers to meet medical board compliance for aesthetic treatments. SpaKinect has been offering on-demand good faith evaluations (a required initial examination before starting an aesthetic treatment) at the click of a button via VSee telehealth.
All states have some type of rule requiring a physician to prescribe a course of
treatment (sometimes called a good faith evaluation) before medical spa services may be rendered. According to an AmSpa State of the Medical Spa Industry Report, 37% of respondents either do not complete an initial good faith evaluation prior to a patient’s first treatment at the medical spa or do not use an approved provider (physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner) to complete the initial evaluation. These have led to nurse arrests and medical spa shut downs.
Telehealth addresses a key business problem for medspas by providing cost-effective, on-demand initial evaluation coverage for potential patients without the need of an additional onsite provider.
For the past 7 years, SpaKinect has developed a telehealth model that
- More than tripled the amount of coverage time offered
- Lowered patient wait times to 72 seconds.
- Experienced a 94 percent increase in the number of patients seen
- Scale services into 5 states.
“VSee’s powerful platform and amazing support staff have made it possible for us to scale to where we are today,” said Alain Gazaui, CEO of SpaKinect, “I’m excited to share about the telehealth opportunities in the fast growing medical spa industry and how SpaKinect continues to use telehealth to push the boundaries of this emerging space”
Dr. Milton Chen, VSee CEO said, “VSee is proud to be the telehealth software of choice to support SpaKinect’s emerging telehealth service model. We understand that clinical workflows are incredibly complex and require a tailored telehealth platform to achieve success. We look forward to learning more about SpaKinect’s vision for the future.”
Alain Gazaui will be joining 60+ speakers from UnitedHealth, Berkshire Hathaway, NBC Comcast, Salesforce CMO, MDLIVE founder, Zenefits CEO and more. He will be speaking on “The Intelligent Spa: A Collaborative Telehealth Model” on Thursday, October 3, 2019.
