Health Scan Booking Service
Health Scan Booking Service is a service that helps users find and book affordable health scans, like DEXA scans, in their local area, along with providing insights on their results. It was pitched on The Side Hustle Show in the episode "714: My 2025 Progress Report: What Worked, What Didn’t, and What’s Next?" (aired December 25, 2025).

The problem it solves
Access to affordable health screening options is limited, and many people are unaware of the benefits of regular health scans for tracking body composition and health metrics.
How it makes money
Commission-based revenue from scan providers for each booking made through the platform, with potential subscription options for regular users.
Skills you need
Website/app development, healthcare knowledge, partnership development, and customer service.
The market, and why this works now
Telehealth regulations have expanded access to remote consultations, making it feasible for a health scan booking service to connect users with local providers. A concrete first-revenue move could involve listing services on healthcare-focused subreddits, where users seek affordable health solutions. A potential risk is the need for significant capital to develop the platform and establish partnerships with scan providers, which may extend the time before profitability is achieved.
