Problem
Patients with chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema often face long wait times for specialist appointments, high medication costs, and limited ongoing support, which can lead to poor disease control and reduced quality of life.
Solution
Zest Health delivers virtual dermatology care focused exclusively on psoriasis and eczema. Users begin with a comprehensive 30‑minute video consultation where board‑certified dermatologists review medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle factors. Based on this assessment, a personalized treatment plan is created that combines prescription therapy, lifestyle recommendations, and optional at‑home phototherapy when covered by an employer or health plan. The platform provides continuous 24/7 messaging with the care team for real‑time questions, progress reporting, and plan adjustments. Clinical outcomes are tracked through patient‑submitted photos and data, enabling the team to refine therapy and aim for reduced reliance on long‑term medications. The service is accessible across the United States, with appointments often scheduled within days and integrated billing for employer or health‑plan partnerships.
