Health and wellness social network bridges the gap

A common question for most locals is where to go for information on the best health and wellness providers in the area. Most people turn to friends, family, or the internet, but it’s hard to make a confident choice especially when searching the web. 
 
Loopit, a health and wellness social network, aims to change that. From local medical doctors to fitness centers, Loopit connects consumers with local health and wellness providers and is dedicated to help both professionals and consumers find better online resources.
 
Daniel Island resident and plastic surgeon, Dr. Dennis Schimpf, originally created Loopit as a verified authentic review platform for the medical industry. 
 
Initially, it was specifically for plastic surgery, but over time the company evolved into a website for both businesses and consumers. 
 
“In early 2021, we turned our attention and focus to building not only a web-based browser site for reviews, but more importantly an app which would function as a social network for the health and wellness industry but with better information,” Schimpf explained. “A platform where both the business and consumers received value.
We used LinkedIn as a model in some ways with the difference being the product was not employment opportunity or job connections but rather health and wellness options.”
 
“Loopit is a better way for consumers to find and evaluate a broad range of health and wellness providers, so they can make more informed decisions on these matters,” said CEO Jeff Brady, who came on board in 2020. “Our definition of health and wellness is broad, spanning from traditional primary and specialty care providers to fitness businesses to veterinarians to senior care living. Consumers will use Loopit because it will provide them better information.”
 
Promoting the launch of their app at this year’s Credit One Charleston Open, Kayla Dadisman, marketing coordinator, said consumers were impressed with the versatility and variety found on the app. “They like that there is one dedicated place to discover health and wellness providers. When you’re making health and wellness decisions Loopit is a better place to find, evaluate, and compare local providers in your area.”
 
Schimpf believes the timing of the app is perfect. “I think Loopit has come to fruition at the right time. I believe the recent issues with misinformation and censorship on different platforms has left the consumer confused and hesitant. We believe there is nothing more important than the health and wellness of you, your family, and your pets.” 
 
In May, Loopit will be launching an updated version to the current app with more providers and functions. They plan to expand in Charleston and branch out to the Raleigh and Greenville markets.
