Questionnaire-based recommender service for healing products & services.
Recommender
Instead of trying to secretly scrape customer data to anticipate their needs, why don’t you just ask them what they want?
Welcome to HealthFinder (formerly called JumpStart): a survey-based recommender service for products and services that can be applied to any problem–whether health & wellness, personnel on-boarding, or financial planning–to close the gap between customer awareness and customer action.
In this case, we are developing it for healer services & healing products.
