TALK TO A PSYCHOLOGIST ONLINE VIA WEBCAM
TALK TO A PSYCHOLOGIST ONLINE VIA WEBCAM
What advice do you have to help me grow my idea?
Idea Description
It is my goal to make psychological treatment easily available to everybody across the world. As technology becomes more and more advanced daily, I came up with the idea to offer personal treatments over the internet using a web came. I would like to get a group of psychologist who would offer there services online. This would benefit stay at home moms, elderly people, people who might be embarrassed to bee seen in a psychologist office, and people who might now have the transportation to and see a psychologist face to face.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?

Well I would like to construct it in such a way that it is easy to use for people with all types of tech savvy. I see that as the world becomes more technologically advanced, so do the youth. I want to create a place that targets the youth. Basically I see technology as a key to reach out to children in a positive way. And thank you PAPRO for your comment. Times are changing, and so should the way that psychiatric help is being presented to not only the youth, but to all ages. It’s out there, but it just doesn’t seem too appealing… and even that obtainable
There are many sites out there that already offer these kinds of services; see for example http://allpsych.com/onlinepsychology.html http://tinyurl.com/2yspm7 http://www.metanoia.org/ There is an International Society for Mental Health Online, and a national certification program is now available in the USA through the NBCC for therapists who want to offer their services online. So the field of online psychotherapy is rapidly moving toward maturity. In several areas of the USA, some psychiatrists already do diagnosis and offer sessions via videoconferencing. How would your program offer something that others in the field of online psychotherapy are not already offering, or a different twist on what is already out there?
This is a really terrific business idea, one that deserves a lot of Advanta member voting. Having a quadraplegic brother that has been such for over half of his 46 years after a bad auto accident on Rt. 80 in late '83, I certainly visualize the benefits to people of numerous different medical & pschological conditions. Hats off to you for a truly GREAT concept and business plan, youngmoney86.
