Part Two: Ozempic & the business of telehealth

Correction: In a previous version of this podcast, TDA incorrectly stated that Juniper receives an average of 41 mental health-related patient interactions per week. This should have said Juniper receives an average of 41 mental health-related per month.

In a new three-part series, TDA is investigating the complex world of medicated weight-loss. In part two, we explore Ozempic's telehealth boom to understand how virtual clinics are reshaping prescribing practices. We'll hear first-hand accounts from patients and practitioners as we take a closer look at the country's most popular online provider in this space. Just a heads up, this is the second episode of a three-part series. Listen to the first episode, 'The young Aussies using Ozempic', here.

Note: We've changed the names of some of the people you'll hear from in this episode. These sources are known to TDA, but we've kept some of their personal details private to protect their identity.
