Problem
Families seeking pediatric speech, occupational, or physical therapy often face long waitlists, limited provider visibility, and the need to coordinate in‑home or virtual sessions through multiple channels. Therapists, meanwhile, lack streamlined tools to manage scheduling, payments, and documentation, making private practice inefficient.
Solution
Patch offers a marketplace app that directly connects families with licensed pediatric therapists for in‑home or virtual care. Parents can search therapist profiles, compare rates, view real‑time availability, and book appointments within the platform. Therapists control their schedules, accept bookings, and receive automated support for payments, session documentation, reminders, and communication. By removing intermediaries, Patch accelerates access to care and provides a unified workflow that lets therapists run sustainable private practices while families receive timely, personalized therapy.
Target Audience
Primary customers are families with children requiring pediatric therapy services and independent licensed pediatric therapists looking to grow their private practice.
