Centralized dashboard aggregating botulinum toxin safety alerts from MHRA and other regulators for UK aesthetic and medical clinics.

The pain

Clinic staff currently monitor multiple government websites, email lists, and professional forums to catch safety warnings about botulinum toxin products. Missing an alert could expose patients to known risks. The cognitive load of checking disparate sources creates gaps in awareness, especially for smaller practices without dedicated compliance staff.

The gap

No single source consolidates botulinum toxin safety data from MHRA, EMA, and professional bodies. Clinics either miss warnings or waste time cross-checking multiple channels. The 200+ monthly searches suggest real demand, but no obvious incumbent owns this niche.

Build angle

Start by manually aggregating MHRA botulinum toxin alerts into a simple email digest or Slack bot for 3-6 months. Validate that clinics will actually pay for this (even £50-200/year per clinic). Only build the dashboard if you confirm: (1) clinics actively miss alerts today, (2) they'll switch from current behavior, (3) you can legally republish regulatory data. Partner with a clinic group or professional body (BAAPS, BAPRAS) to distribute and fund the MVP.

Strengths

  • Regulatory data is public and free to aggregate, no licensing friction
  • Highly specific audience (aesthetic/medical clinics) makes targeting and sales straightforward
  • Low technical complexity, email digest or RSS feed solves 80% of the problem
  • Compliance-driven purchasing: clinics need this for liability and insurance reasons
  • Search volume (200+/month) indicates real awareness of the problem

Risks

  • Market size is tiny: UK has ~3,000-5,000 clinics doing botulinum toxin work. Even 20% penetration at £100/year = £60-100k ARR, barely viable
  • Regulatory bodies may already have email alert systems; clinics may simply not use them rather than need aggregation
  • Liability exposure: if your alert is late or wrong, clinics could claim damages. You'd need clear disclaimers and possibly insurance
  • Switching costs are near-zero; retention will be weak unless you add real value (e.g., adverse event tracking, compliance templates)
  • MHRA could build this themselves or mandate it as part of licensing, making your business obsolete
  • Demand signal (Google Trends) may reflect one-time searches after a specific incident, not sustained need
