• €17.05 immediate savings per patient shifted from specialist to primary care
• €2,597 expected value from preventing melanoma progression through early detection

---

1. Comprehensive Value Analysis

1.1 Direct Cost Savings (Immediate, Quantifiable)

Primary Care Shift Value

The device enables 49% of dermatology cases to be managed in primary care instead of specialist settings:

$\text{Savings per shifted patient} = 74.00 - 56.95 = 17.05 \text{ EUR}$

Where:

• €74.00 = Cost of first dermatology specialist consultation
• €56.95 = Cost of primary care consultation

Teledermatology Enablement Value

Spanish teledermatology studies demonstrate consistent savings:

Study	Location	Savings per Patient
Catalonia (Bages County)	Spain	€11.40
Skin Cancer Triage	Spain	€49.59
Valencia Estimate	Spain	€8.61-11.40

Conservative estimate: €8.61 per patient

Total Direct Value

$\text{Direct Value} = 17.05 + 8.61 = 25.66 \text{ EUR per patient}$

1.2 Catastrophic Cost Avoidance (Probabilistic)

Melanoma Stage Progression Costs

Stage	Treatment Cost	Difference from Stage I
Stage I	€1,689	-
Stage IV	€88,268	€86,579

Expected Value Calculation

Given that 3% of dermatology caseload involves malignant melanoma:

$\text{Expected Value} = 86,579 \times 0.03 = 2,597.37 \text{ EUR per patient}$

1.3 Total Quantified Value

$\text{Total Value} = 25.66 + 2,597.37 = 2,623.03 \text{ EUR per patient managed}$

1.4 Non-Monetized Benefits

• Political Value: 84.37% reduction in waiting times addresses Spain's healthcare crisis
• SLA Compliance: Helps regions avoid penalties and outsourcing costs
• Patient Satisfaction: Reduces voluntary exits from public system
• Healthcare Equality: Improves access in underserved areas
• Quality of Life: Earlier intervention reduces morbidity

2. Pricing Recommendations

2.1 Per Diagnostic Report Pricing

Conservative Pricing: €22

• Rationale: 60% value share of upper scenario savings
• Calculation: $36.76 \times 0.60 = 22.06$ €
• Use Case: Public tenders, market entry
• Healthcare System ROI: 11,823%

Standard Pricing: €25

• Rationale: Benchmark with "Radiografía simple" (X-ray)
• Justification: Provides more diagnostic value than basic imaging
• Use Case: Direct hospital contracts
• Healthcare System ROI: 10,393%

Premium Pricing: €30.63

• Rationale: X-ray benchmark plus 33% of direct triage value
• Calculation: $25 + (17.05 \times 0.33) = 30.63$ €
• Use Case: Performance-based contracts with guarantees
• Healthcare System ROI: 8,367%

2.2 Per Capita Pricing Models

Per Episode Model (All Images in Clinical Episode)

Tier	Price	Value Capture	Healthcare ROI
Conservative	€50	Direct savings + 0.5% catastrophic	5,146%
Standard	€75	Direct savings + 1.5% catastrophic	3,397%
Premium	€100	Direct savings + 2.5% catastrophic	2,523%

Annual Per Capita Model

Coverage Level	Price	Application	Healthcare ROI
Basic	€75	Limited population	3,397%
Standard	€100	Regional coverage	2,523%
Comprehensive	€138	Full integration	1,796%

Formula for comprehensive model: $138 = (25.66 \times 0.33) + (2,597.37 \times 0.05) \text{ EUR}$

---

3. ROI Justification

3.1 Return on Investment Calculations

At €25 Per Report:

$\text{ROI} = \frac{2,623.03 - 25}{25} \times 100\% = 10,393\%$

At €75 Per Patient:

$\text{ROI} = \frac{2,623.03 - 75}{75} \times 100\% = 3,397\%$

At €138 Per Capita:

$\text{ROI} = \frac{2,623.03 - 138}{138} \times 100\% = 1,796\%$

3.2 Breakeven Analysis

The device pays for itself through immediate direct savings alone:

• Direct savings: €25.66
• Device cost at standard pricing: €25.00
• Net immediate benefit: €0.66 per use

The catastrophic cost avoidance of €2,597.37 represents pure additional value.

"We need to see Spanish evidence"

"We have documented results from Valencia, Catalonia, and multiple Spanish teledermatology studies showing 11-50€ savings per patient. Our 49% primary care shift rate is validated in Spanish healthcare settings."

"Budget constraints"

"This isn't a cost—it's a savings generator. Start with our outcome-based model where you only pay from the savings we generate. Zero risk, guaranteed positive ROI."

"Prefer subscription model"

"Perfect. Our per-capita model at €100/year gives you unlimited use for covered patients. With average usage, this translates to under €10 per diagnostic report—60% less than our standard pricing."

8.3 Elevator Pitch Variations

For CFOs (30 seconds):

"Legit.Health costs €25—the same as an X-ray—but delivers €2,623 in value per patient through reduced specialist visits, earlier cancer detection, and 84% shorter wait times. Your ROI exceeds 10,000%. We can start with a risk-free pilot where you pay only from documented savings."

For Clinical Directors (30 seconds):

"Our AI analyzes skin conditions with accuracy improvements of 15-63% over current practice, enabling 49% of cases to be managed in primary care. This means your dermatologists focus on complex cases while patients get answers in days, not months."

For Politicians (30 seconds):

"Legit.Health reduces dermatology waiting lists by 84% within 6 months—addressing your region's top healthcare complaint. At €25 per use, it's budget-neutral from day one through care pathway savings, while delivering visible results before the next election."

Appendix: Calculation Methodologies

A.1 Direct Triage Value (DTV)

$DTV = R \times (C_s - C_p)$

Where:

• R = Shift rate to primary care (49%)
• C_s = Specialist consultation cost (€74)
• C_p = Primary care consultation cost (€56.95)

A.2 Systemic Telehealth Value (STV)

$STV = A \times E \times (C_f - C_t)$

Where:

• A = Teledermatology adoption rate
• E = Remote resolution efficiency (44%)
• C_f = Face-to-face consultation cost (€74)
• C_t = Teledermatology consultation cost (€38.61)

A.3 Probabilistic Malignancy Cost Avoidance (PMCA)

$PMCA = P_m \times (C_{IV} - C_I)$

Where:

• P_m = Probability of malignancy in caseload (3%)
• $C_{IV}$ = Stage IV melanoma treatment cost (€88,268)
• C_I = Stage I melanoma treatment cost (€1,689)

A.4 Total Quantified Value (TQV)

$TQV = DTV + STV + PMCA = 25.66 + 2,597.37 = 2,623.03 \text{ EUR}$

A.5 Return on Investment (ROI)

$ROI = \frac{TQV - Price}{Price} \times 100\%$
