More than an app: the infrastructure powering every Fresh clinic with David Bolton & Dave McPherson
You open the Fresh app dozens of times a week - but do you actually know what's powering it? In this episode of Fresh Pod, Loz McGlynn and Dr John Delaney sit down with the two Daves - Fresh Clinics' CTO David Bolton and Head of Engineering Dave McPherson to pull back the curtain on the technology keeping your clinic running safely, compliantly, and efficiently. Together, they unpack the origin story of the Fresh app, what it really means to build technology for healthcare (not just for users), and why the whole goal of great tech is to get out of your way as fast as possible. From how JD accidentally stumbled onto product-market fit while trying to avoid handwriting paperwork, to how the team applies AI carefully so it enhances rather than disrupts human connection - this is a conversation that'll change how you think about the tool you use every day. Whether you're a curious Fresh Member who's wondered why certain features take time to arrive, or a clinic owner trying to understand what "compliance infrastructure" actually means for your business, this one's worth clearing your schedule for. How the Fresh app was born from a desire to never handwrite compliance paperwork again and accidentally became exactly what the industry needed What "middle of house" and "back of house" actually means, and which parts of your clinic the app is already covering Why the goal of the Fresh app is to get you out of it as fast as possible and why that's the opposite of how most apps are designed The "invisible hand" philosophy: how compliance is baked seamlessly into everyday features you barely notice, like telehealth calls that automatically surface a prescribing practitioner's credentials How a team of 30+ engineers decides what to build next and why the answer always starts with listening to practitioners, not chasing what's shiny What AI can and can't do in an industry built on human connection, and why not every new technology deserves to be adopted quickly What's coming next Why the best healthcare technology follows one simple rule: don't make me think David BoltonChief Technology Officer, Fresh Clinics. David has spent his career building and scaling technology across some of Australia's most complex platforms, including Woolworths and Westfield. He brings deep expertise in product strategy and infrastructure to Fresh focused on building systems that make practitioners' lives measurably easier without ever getting in their way. Dave McPhersonHead of Engineering, Fresh Clinics. Dave leads the engineering team responsible for bringing the Fresh platform to life day-to-day - overseeing how code is built, tested, and continuously improved under the complex demands of regulated healthcare. He's driven by a simple belief: the best technology disappears entirely, leaving practitioners free to focus on their patients.

Whole person care: What happens when you add Fresh Health to your clinic with Carly Heckendorf, Porcelain Skin Clinic
Your patients aren't just asking how to look better anymore - they're telling you they can't sleep, they feel foggy, they don't feel like themselves. And if you're only treating what's on the surface, you're missing half the picture. In this episode of Fresh Pod, Dr John Delaney and Loz McGlynn sit down with Carly Heckendorf, founder of Porcelain Skin, to explore how she evolved her aesthetic clinic into a hybrid healthcare model by adopting Fresh Health - and what that shift has meant for her patients, her team, and her business. They discuss what it actually looks like to introduce women's health and weight management services into an existing aesthetic clinic - from updating intake forms and training your team, to the moment a long-term patient walked out feeling like herself again for the first time in years. Carly shares the hesitations she had, the structures she put in place, and why she believes whole person care is the future of other clinics like her own. Whether you're a cosmetic nurse quietly noticing your patients are telling you more than they're booking for, or a clinic owner wondering what your next evolution looks like, this conversation will help you see a clear, practical path forward. We cover: Why hormonal optimisation directly impacts the longevity of cosmetic treatment results - and how Carly explains this to patients using the "bouncy mattress" analogy How one long-term patient's complete transformation - internally and externally confirmed that whole person care was the right direction for Porcelain Skin Why value perception was Carly's biggest hesitation, and how quickly her patients put that concern to rest How patient retention measurably increased after introducing women's health consultations and how a new nurse went from gaps in her schedule to being fully booked The shift from treating external concerns to facilitating internal wellness - and why Carly believes this is where aesthetic medicine is heading How to start if you're curious: Carly's practical first steps for any practitioner wanting to expand into this space Carly Heckendorf, Founder, Porcelain Skin. Carly is a registered nurse with a background in dermatology and emergency nursing who opened Porcelain Skin three years ago. She has since evolved her clinic into a hybrid healthcare model integrating women's health and weight management consultations alongside aesthetic treatments - driven by a belief that real, lasting results start from within.

If your clinic got hacked tomorrow, would you be okay? with Nicole Neil, Head of Information Security and Privacy, Fresh Clinics.
Your patients trust you with their most sensitive information - but is your clinic actually set up to protect it? In this episode of Fresh Pod, Dr John Delaney and Loz McGlynn sit down with Nicole Neil, Head of Information Security and Privacy at Fresh Clinics, to break down what clinic data security actually looks like in practice, without the jargon, and without the overwhelm. Nicole makes the complex feel genuinely manageable, covering everything from phishing and AI-powered scams to Wi-Fi networks, password managers, and what to do if something actually goes wrong. Whether you're a solo practitioner trying to get the basics right or a growing clinic owner wanting to audit your systems, this conversation will leave you feeling informed, not scared. We cover: The difference between personal information and health information and why clinic owners are legally responsible for both What it means to be a "controller" of patient data, and how Fresh acts as your processor behind the scenes Why credential reuse (one password for everything) is one of the biggest security threats facing small clinics right now How AI is supercharging phishing scams and social engineering and how to spot what even security professionals can miss The three things every clinic should set up first: multi-factor authentication, a password manager, and basic security training for your team Why photos stored on your phone or in a generic booking platform are medical records and what that means for your obligations How to audit the apps and subscriptions you've signed up to, and the free tool that tells you if your email has already been breached What actually happens after a data breach including your legal obligation to report it Nicole NeilHead of Information Security and Privacy, Fresh Clinics. With over a decade of experience in cybersecurity across global organisations and fast-growing med tech companies, Nicole brings rare expertise to the aesthetics space and we are so glad to have her on our team!
