Teledermatology Partnerships for Consumer Brands
Supporting the Consumer Journey: From First Use through Ongoing Care
Whether the journey begins with a product or with a dermatologist, guidance matters.
Consumers navigate skin, hair, and nail concerns in different ways. For many, the journey begins with an over-the-counter (OTC) or consumer health product, often without clinical guidance. Others seek out dermatologist-led care first, looking for expert advice before deciding how to manage their condition.
DermatologistOnCall supports both pathways.
Patients may arrive on the platform after trying OTC solutions, seeking answers about what's working, what isn't, and what to do next. At the same time, DermatologistOnCall can serve as a starting point for the consumer journey, where dermatologists evaluate patients and recommend appropriate care, including non-prescription products, as part of a personalized treatment plan.
This dual-entry model creates a connected experience in which products and care are aligned, and consumers are supported at every stage of their journey.
Connecting Products and Care
Supporting engagement before, during, and after product use
By supporting both entry points, DermatologistOnCall enables consumer and OTC brands to engage patients:
- After product use, when consumers are seeking validation, adjustments, or next steps
- At the point of care, when dermatologists guide treatment decisions and recommend appropriate OTC products
Non-prescription dermatology products are explicitly included in treatment plans when appropriate, reinforcing their role in a broader dermatologist-guided care strategy.
This ensures therapies are:
-
Used more effectively
-
Aligned with patient needs
-
Supported by clinical insight.
Education That Happens Within Real Care
Helping patients and providers make more informed decisions
Patient Education
Patients receive clear, personalized guidance from board-certified dermatologists, giving them:
- Personalized, Condition-Specific Guidance
Supporting patients with clear, tailored education based on their diagnosis, helping them to better understand their condition and care plan. - Guidance on Product Use and Treatment Approaches
Instructing patients on how to use over-the-counter and prescribed treatments more effectively with dermatologist-led instruction on proper application and expectations. - Understanding When to Adjust or Escalate Care
Equipping patients with the knowledge to recognize when a treatment is working, when it may need adjustment, and when to seek additional care. - Education on Lifestyle and Environmental Factors
Providing insight into how daily habits, environmental exposures, and product choices can impact skin, hair, and nail health.
Dermatologist Education
DermatologistOnCall supports the compliant sharing of educational resources with providers. This helps dermatologists stay informed about relevant product innovations and patient needs, while maintaining full clinical independence. This includes:
- Support for Digital-First Dermatologists
Equipping dermatologists who practice primarily in virtual settings with resources tailored to asynchronous, digital-first care delivery. - Awareness of New Products and Innovations
Keeping providers informed about new product launches, evolving applications, and emerging categories relevant to dermatologic care. - Evidence-Based Product Education
Providing clinically grounded, evidence-based information to help dermatologists make informed decisions that support optimal patient outcomes.
