Psychologist Online Airpersons is a new mobile App available today on GOOGLE PLAY that allows any psychologist to provide therapy to a patient via video-chat and collect the payment at the end of the session.
The application has been developed entirely by two Spanish entrepreneurs who after living in the U.S. decided to dedicate their time to online services solutions. “In Psychological therapy, many patients cancel their appointments or are late due to travelling issues, mostly bad traffic, so we thought a mobile video-chat platform could solve the problem” Says Leo Lauper, AirPersons co-founder.
The App operation is very simple, just download it on GOOGLE PLAY ( iOS version will be soon available). Once downloaded, it registers automatically and the psychologist can create a service on the website setting their conditions: cost per minute of session, cancellation cost, availability, etc. From that moment the psychologist may receive, while choosing to be ONLINE, a call through the App. Before the consultation can take place the platform demands the service buyer to have enough credit to pay for the session (using credit card, Paypal or other methods), so there is no chance of unpaid services. Since it’s not a phone call, the patient never knows the professional’s mobile number. AirPersons ensures total privacy.
“The best thing about Psychologist online AirPersons is that it’s a whole package that allows the psychologist to provide a service and collect the payment”. There are some psychologists using Skype but it has the disadvantage of dealing with how the patient will pay; besides there is no anonymity,” Says M. Luis, AirPersons CEO.
The main incentive for any psychologist to use this App is the opportunity of providing services on the go. There’s no need for a computer, only a Smartphone with Internet access.
Advantages for clients:
- Available 24 hours / 7 days a week. There is always connected AirPersons.
- Price: there are sessions available as low as 5 Euro per hour.
- Convenience, no need to move from house to have a session with a psychologist.
There are over 3,000 health professionals registered in AirPersons, from more than 20 countries. Besides, AirPersons gives away up to $40 in credit to spend in services to all new users and professionals who sign up.
INSPIRED BY THE TELEVISION SERIES "Web Therapy"
What until now was only possible in the world of fiction, as in the TV series ‘Web Therapy’, starring Lisa Kudrow: talking to a psychologist on a remote consultation via video-chat, is now a reality thanks to the web airpersons.com.
Airpersons is a video-chat marketplace, or put in another way, a place where any professional can sell their services through video chat, needing just a webcam and an internet connection. There are services such as psychological counselling, consultations with lawyers and doctors and so alike in more than 1000 categories.
The website is available in 25 languages and in just ten months is offering more than 12000 services.
“There are already users from the US, Canada, Britain, Australia, and more countries all over the world. Two persons speaking the same language can always meet on a video-chat consultation”, says M.Luis, AirPersons CEO.
The website integrates a booking system which shows each professional's free hours. The service buyer can book a session or connect immediately with an available professional psychologist to start a consultation right away, at any time, 24 hours a day.
“One of the advantages of AirPersons is that there is always someone available. By being present in nearly 200 countries we can take advantage of time zones. For example, when it is 2 in the morning in Sydney, in Chicago it is 9 pm and in London 3 pm, so you can find a Psychologist to assist you in an anxiety attack, an urgent problem, or simply when you find the need to talk to someone. That was not possible before the arrival of AirPersons.com"”.
AirPersons also eliminates the problem of moving for some patients. Many bookings are cancelled due to patients' low morale and the added effort that moving in that state involves. Airpersons removes that barrier and is especially useful in some cases.
While for the patience in need of a psychological consultation the advantages are low prices, accessibility and availability, for the professional are getting clients worldwide and the possibility to exercise their profession without the need of an office, a waiting lounge, nor the traditional couch... now just a table and a computer or Smartphone with an Internet connection are enough.
A PSYCHOLOGIST'S OPINION ON AIRPERSONS
Beatriz Romero, a certified psychologist, manager of two Cabinets of Psychology organizing five practitioners in total tells us her experience: “We installed the Airpersons App to minimize appointment cancellation. Thanks to this mobile application if the patient can’t keep the appointment the consultation can take place through video-chat. The patient receives therapy and the professional doesn’t miss the appointment”.
Airperson wishes to settle soon in Silicon Valley and is actively looking for Venture Capital Funds that would like to be part of the company’s growth.
