Why we do what we do – and how you can help.
What’s Medically Guided Shopping™ and how does it benefit you?
At first glance, you might think that Myfootshop.com is just another niche web site that’s here to sell things to you. Well, in part that's true. But I think it’s important to understand what we do, how we do it and why we do it.
As a young doctor, I was eager to dive into treating patients with the best skill set that I could provide. But what I started to see over time were the inefficiencies of the way medical care is delivered. For instance, I can have a conversation with a patient regarding a common condition, say plantar fasciitis. The vast majority of that conversation is education – helping a person understand their condition, what treatment options are available and how to proceed with a plan we design together. Seems spot on for medical care, right? But then you enter the next treatment room and have the same conversation. This conversation can be repeated any number of times over the course of a day. The inefficiency was that the treatment didn’t scale. How could I scale medical care?
- Find a communication model that was ubiquitous
- Focus on consumer-oriented care
- Make learning easy
- Provide value that can enhance lives
Think 1999. That’s when Myfootshop.com first set foot on the Internet. What an awesome opportunity. If I could reach every person on the planet who had access to the Internet, I could change lives. I slowly met friends who helped me refine the concept of Medically Guided Shopping™. In a nutshell, Medically Guided Shopping is intended to help customers find the right diagnosis and the right products, the right way. It’s our firm belief that you can’t treat a condition until you understand it (diagnosis first, product second).
At the heart of Medially Guided Shopping is INGRID, our Interactive Graphical Interface for Diagnoses. INGRID makes finding your diagnosis easy. Just hover over the graphical image of the foot and click on a zone where you hurt.
Our mission is the democratization of healthcare. Healthcare should not be behind a wall created by health care insurance, money or privilege. Healthcare should be available to anyone with a curiosity and access to a computer. It’s that easy.
