Twentyeight Health, the leading digital-first healthcare provider delivering convenient, affordable, and judgment-free care to all women, has officially announced the launch of its Personalized Care Program, which arrives on the scene bearing three new, specialized services.
According to certain reports, the stated assortment of services includes, at launch, Get Care Now, on-demand prescription consultations for common health concerns; Weight Care, medically guided weight management; and Skin Care, personalized, medical-grade skincare plans.
To understand the significance of such a development, we must take into account how a staggering 50% of all women in America admit to skipping or delaying medical care due to cost, access, or negative experiences with providers.
This is despite demand for weight management medication and professional skincare being high among women. We say so because women represent 65% of all GLP-1 users in the U.S., as well as nearly 88% of patients at medical spas that offer prescription-strength skincare.
Talk about the new services on a slightly deeper level, we begin from the one called Get Care Now, which offers you a simple yet discreet mechanism in the context of accessing rapid treatment for common, time-sensitive health concerns, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), bacterial vaginosis (BV), and yeast infections, along with medication such as emergency contraception and nausea relief for pregnant women.
Making the proposition even more attractive relates to how users aren’t required to book an appointment in advance. In case this wasn’t enough, they can also come expecting to receive their prescription in six hours or less.
As for how it works, patients can kickstart the proceedings by completing a brief online medical questionnaire. Once they do so, a licensed provider then reviews information. If found eligible, users get a prescription sent to their local pharmacy for pickup.
Next up, we have the Weight Care service coming into play. This one is essentially a program geared towards supporting sustainable weight management with high-touch provider guidance from start to finish. More on the same would reveal how users who avail this particular service can come expecting a personalized treatment plan and on-demand access to licensed providers and nutritionists for follow-up consultations, medication adjustments, and compassionate guidance.
In practice, one can sign up for Twentyeight Health’s Weight Care service by completing an online medical questionnaire, which is then reviewed by a licensed provider either asynchronously or through a live video consultation, depending on patient needs.
If deemed as eligible, users are provided with a prescription for an FDA-approved GLP-1 medication, such as Ozempic or Wegovy, which is again sent to their local pharmacy for pickup.
Rounding up highlights would be the Skin Care service. The stated offering is essentially focused on providing users a personalized brand of treatment for common skin concerns, including acne, anti-aging, dark spots, eczema, rosacea, and Actinic Keratosis, all provided under the guidance of a licensed provider.
Among other things, it ought to be acknowledged that Twentyeight Health will launch Weight Care to users in Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, and New York first, with plans to expand geographic availability in the coming weeks. On the other hand, Get Care Now and Skin Care will be available in all 43 states where the company operates, aside from Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma.
Founded in 2018, Twentyeight Health’s rise up the ranks stems from facilitating high-quality telemedicine consultations, fast at-home deliveries, and ongoing access to providers for life-changing medical services, including reproductive and sexual health treatment, weight care management, and medical-grade skincare.
The company’s excellence in what it does can also be understood once you consider it has already been named in 2024 Digital Health 100 (DH100), Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies, Forbes Next 1000, Top 50 in Digital Health by Rock Health, NYC Digital’s 10 Most Innovative Companies with fewer than 100 employees of 2022, Health 100, and more.
“This expansion marks a pivotal moment in Twentyeight Health’s journey. Since our inception, we’ve been meeting urgent reproductive and sexual health needs to fill gaps in our healthcare system and become a trusted partner for more than 200,000 women throughout the U.S.,” said Bruno Van Tuykom, CEO and co-founder of Twentyeight Health.
