How does guided photo intake work for clinicians?

No. Virtual Consultant Online is designed to work alongside existing practice management software rather than replace it. The platform focuses on front-end patient acquisition and remote intake, covering the period from initial enquiry through to a confirmed treatment start, complementing the clinical and administrative workflows already in place. Appointments, clinical notes, imaging and billing continue to live in the practice's own software. What the platform adds is the pre-booking stage, a structured set of patient photos and answers that the team can review before the first appointment, so the first visit can start from a clearer picture.

Yes. Practices can register for a free trial to explore the platform before committing to a subscription. The trial gives access to core features including the guided photo intake workflow and quote generation tools, allowing the clinical team to assess the system before going live with patients. A trial is a practical way to see how a practice's patients respond to a photo request link and how much time the clinical team spends reviewing submissions. Practices should check the plan details on the pricing page before the trial ends so there are no surprises about what continues afterwards.
