Direct-to-Consumer Healthcare
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) healthcare refers to a model of healthcare delivery where services, products, and treatments are provided directly to patients without the need for traditional intermediaries such as primary care physicians, specialists, or pharmacies. In this model, healthcare providers and companies interact directly with consumers through various channels, often leveraging technology and digital platforms.
