With a focus on preventive care, we are addressing a critical gap in the European healthcare system. Our mission is to enable individuals to attain their healthiest and happiest life by enhancing their well-being and preventing chronic diseases - Diseases that accounts for 70% of all deaths in Europe and cost the healthcare system more than €800bn annually.
Our solution is a revolutionary digital health twin that replicates an individual's health profile by integrating data from various sources including blood tests, DNA tests, wearables, lifestyle habits, and symptom tracking. Leveraging advanced AI and ML technologies, we create hyper-personalized, science-based health plans that not only improve health outcomes but also empower individuals to predict the impact of their health efforts effectively.
