CareFirst, the flagship virtual healthcare platform by First Care Solutions, has unveiled a major platform upgrade, enhancing both its service offering and user experience. The newly updated platform now includes advanced AI-powered dermatology scans, flexible payment options, and customisable health bundles further cementing CareFirst’s position as a leading virtual healthcare solution in Africa.
Introducing Ai-Powered Dermatology Scans
Among the most exciting additions are two AI skin scan tools ACNE and General Skin Analysis—developed in partnership with Belle AI, a cutting-edge medical AI company based in the United States. These features allow users to scan affected skin areas using their mobile devices and receive an instant AI-generated report estimating the likelihood or severity of a skin condition.
Flexible Follow-Up Options After Your Scan
This round-the-clock, on-demand dermatological screening offers users three flexible follow-up options:
- Speak immediately with a CareFirst doctor via online consultation
- Email the scan result and book a virtual follow-up
- Download and share the scan report with their own doctor.
Pay-As-You-Go Or Add-On Options
Currently, the skin scan services are available on a fee-for-service basis, separate from CareFirst subscriptions. Users pay per scan, with an optional additional fee to consult with a doctor.
New Payment Features For Better Access
In addition to these clinical innovations, CareFirst has also introduced new payment features designed to improve accessibility and affordability:
- Discount codes for promotional offers
- Subscription bundles for healthcare credits
- Flexible purchasing of individual services or prepaid packages
These updates are available to all CareFirst users, offering more choice, more value, and more convenience than ever before. Visit www.carefirst.co.za to explore the new features and start your virtual health journey today.
