BOCA RATON, Fla., October 21, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VSee Health, Inc. (Nasdaq: VSEE), a provider of comprehensive telehealth services that customize workflow streams and enhance patient care, announces the launch of a specialized program designed to tackle obesity and associated health risks through the integration of GLP-1 prescription medicines within its existing telehealth service offerings. This initiative underscores VSee Health’s commitment to addressing the health challenges faced by communities with high rates of obesity and limited access to care.
VSee Health’s GLP-1 program builds on its existing infrastructure offering of virtual urgent care, primary care and wellness services. This initiative combines telehealth access, prescription drug support and behavioral intervention, leveraging socioecological, transtheoretical and health belief models designed to deliver impactful care through virtual channels.
"We are excited to expand the company’s capabilities with the launch of this GLP-1 initiative," said Imo Aisiku, MD, co-CEO and Chairman of VSee Health. "By facilitating access to GLP-1 drugs through our telehealth platform, we are better positioned to impact populations with the highest need while empowering individuals in underrepresented communities to take immediate control of their health, reduce cardiovascular risks and avoid long-term complications. We are working with various organizations, including the National Black Baptist Association, to raise awareness of obesity and cardiovascular disease. This effort reflects our company’s mission to deliver meaningful health outcomes while reducing the cost of care for those who need it most."
Participants in the GLP-1 program will benefit from personalized care plans, access to GLP-1 medications and virtual support sessions to ensure adherence and sustained weight loss. The program's impact will be assessed through quantitative and qualitative methods, tracking outcomes at both the participant and the community level.
