"I like conducting research on the Juniper program because it's a large comprehensive telehealth service;

and large comprehensive telehealth services remain terribly understudied, despite their huge uptake and the ongoing media discourse on their quality and safety."

Research at Juniper

Most medical weight loss programs cite the same general clinical trials. Juniper, however, has multiple peer-reviewed studies showing real-world health improvements for its members.

As part of our commitment to improving digital care standards, we’re sharing our learnings with the wider medical community.

We’re publishing research in the emerging space of digital healthcare on the quality and safety of our programs, along with patient adherence and satisfaction.

We prioritise patient safety

Juniper’s parent company, Eucalyptus, is the only telehealth company in Australia to be accredited by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS). This required an independent assessment of the safety and quality of our clinical service, and our auditing system.

We audit more than 6,000 consults each month to constantly improve the safety and quality of the Juniper program for our patients. We believe this is an enormous benefit of telehealth.

Our medical support team of clinicians, pharmacists and nurses are here to support all of our patients, whenever they need it. It’s our goal to work alongside the wider healthcare industry to support patients with safe and effective care enhanced by technology.
