Uber for Therapy

a startup idea shared by Ollie Coombe on 12/09/2014

Problem - Therapy is expensive. - It is often hard to book times with therapists, even online ones. - Many therapists have high running costs such as for space, marketing - Many therapists spend a lot of time on business matters - invoicing, chasing customers, getting more business Solution - Offer an app that lets people find and speak to the relevant therapist through the app. - Billing is taken care of - Possible to schedule future appointments for multiple sessions - Can choose from available therapist Advantages - Cost lower for patient and therapist - Patients can talk where they feel most comfortable and whenever they like, not just when they are at a computer. - Removes stress of finding a therapist. - Easier for people in remote areas Challenges - Do people want it? - Crowded market (multiple online services, but NO mobile/tablet first)
