After telemedicine, the next big thing in healthcare is the marketplace. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Giving a healthcare tech startup idea in the first line of a blog is what makes our blogs special! We believe in knowledge sharing.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, let us give you an example. Because, like you, we also trust data rather than words! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wecasa- a French healthcare startup – recently raised  $17.7 million for its home care and wellness marketplace. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just in April 2021, it has also expanded to London, UK and now eying on the North American healthcare market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Well, if you are planning to build a Wecasa-like marketplace in North America, you better be quick!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, Wecasa offered only hair care services at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But soon it added more verticals and now offers home care and wellness services across hair, beauty, housekeeping, babysitting, sports coaching, and massaging. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(It won\u2019t come as a surprise if they would add senior-specific home care services too in near future!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is getting interesting. Isn\u2019t it? So, let\u2019s understand it more comprehensively.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our other very interesting research on telehealth:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What is a home care and wellness marketplace? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When it comes to wellness or even healthcare, people have two choices.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Either they visit the nearest wellness or healthcare center or call wellness or healthcare experts to their home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Of course, the other choice seems more rational and convenient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We have been experiencing since the pandemic that people have been opting more for virtual healthcare visits rather than in-person visits. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to several studies, more than 60% of Canadians selected telemedicine during the pandemic to seek healthcare services from home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This clearly depicts that people find virtual means of healthcare and wellness the best alternative to in-person care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But how would they find wellness and healthcare experts virtually? Here is where a home care and wellness marketplace like Wecasa comes into the picture. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It leverages the technology to seamlessly connect people with wellness experts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    All a user has to do is select the type of wellness or healthcare service he is looking for. Rest is managed by the marketplace and the technology it is working on! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How does a Wecasa-like marketplace work? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For better understanding, we first need to understand different types of healthcare marketplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • B2B (Business to Business) marketplace<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Here, the entire concept is to connect one healthcare business with another for selling and purchasing medical equipment in bulk or sharing services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • B2C (Business to Customer) marketplace <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Here, the entire concept is to connect healthcare businesses with customers (patients). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • P2P (Peer to Peer) marketplace <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Here, the entire concept is to connect individual healthcare\/wellness service providers with individual users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Wecasa is the P2P marketplace as it allows individual wellness service providers (called Pros) to register themselves on the marketplace and provide services to individual users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          This is its entire workflow. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          • Choose a service<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Using Wecasa\u2019s intuitive platform, a user has to select the wellness service he is looking for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            • Choose an ideal time and date <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Wecasa offers the ultimate freedom to a user to choose the time and date he wants a wellness service provider to visit him at his home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              • Get matched <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Wecasa platform with its sophisticated algorithm finds the nearest and most suitable Pro (service provider) for the user and sends job and address details to a Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Here, it is worth mentioning that there must be a different module in the same platform or a new platform for wellness service providers to receive jobs, to report and track earnings. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                How to build a home care and wellness marketplace like Wecasa?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

                Well, the home care and wellness marketplace is the best healthcare marketplace idea as the competition is yet to heat up.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                By building a home care and wellness marketplace in 2021, you can cover the entire market and leverage the expected market boom of healthcare marketplaces. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                However, when it comes to building one such marketplace, it requires a dedicated healthcare-focused skill set and experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                And most importantly, it is the healthcare IT project execution approach that matters the most! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                We\u2019ve tested several such approaches and finally found the most effective and solid approach that we have been utilizing for years to deliver successful projects. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Why is the senior care marketplace an assured source of revenue? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                If you are going to build a home care and wellness marketplace like Wecasa, we encourage you to consider a senior care marketplace or portal as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                After the most heart-breaking and life-claiming long-term care crisis, seniors prefer to stay at home and seek home health care services through healthcare providers to help them with their daily activities and medical needs. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                They even avoid shifting to TCU (Transitional Care Unit) and prefer to get after-surgery care at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                But where they face the most challenge is finding affordable, reliable and experienced home health care service providers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                By building a marketplace for senior care, you can enable seniors or their family members to quickly hire an experienced home care service provider. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                This is indeed a great business opportunity considering the number of seniors unable to look after themselves! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
