An integrated health tech solution to battle the rise of chronic health issues in Australia

The current healthcare system is built around treatment rather than prevention. 80% of all deaths are caused by chronic disease which could have been prevented through early lifestyle intervention, and only 1.34% of Australia’s $195 billion healthcare spend goes towards prevention.

A fundamental change is required to move away from a reactive disease care system to a proactive healthcare system that stops illness before it has even started. We need a new proactive and predictive model, empowering global citizens (and their doctors) with personalised health information so they know their health behaviours and patterns, with access to the guidance to avoid chronic conditions early.

The clear problem with existing proactive health solutions is that they are expensive and isolated standalone solutions that claim to help you on your health journey but, in reality, don’t help at all! These solutions act independently and don’t talk to each other so you could miss clear and important information that helps you achieve your health goals. A clear integrated platform ensures-data, insights and coaching are connected, to provide a holistic data driven solution that takes care of your health.

What if the current fragmented proactive health solutions could be integrated into an affordable and connected program?

This is where we come in to ((shake)) up healthcare.

Andi Health is an affordable and connected smart health program. It vertically integrates a program which delivers dramatically better health experience than standalone solutions.

At Andi, we are developing a new proactive health platform that provides you with personalised health guidance, powered by your own health data, so you can get behind the wheel of your health. Think of it as your very own health GPS. Your Andi devices continually monitor your activity, sleep and body metrics, showing you where you need to focus to reach your health goals, prevent chronic conditions early, and achieve long-term health. All with the help of your real-life expert Andi Health Coach.

We provide personalised health coaching powered by data in an integrated, easy-to-use and affordable monthly subscription. Your health devices include: your Andi smart tracker which can be worn using your Andi strap or patch, your Andi smart scale and your very own Andi blood pressure monitor. Your devices continually measure your body stats and the data recorded automatically feeds into the Andi Health Passport-analysing and displaying visualisations and personalised health scores that are simple to understand and track. Andi translates your lifestyle data into actionable and personalised insights that enable meaningful health change. You’re able to keep tabs on your health trajectories and be empowered to improve them.

Your very own Andi Health Coach is the icing on the cake. Your Andi health coaching involves both AI and real (human) Health Coaches, over messaging and monthly 30 minute live video sessions. Members' data is processed in real time to leverage their knowledge and provide the best data-driven advice. Andi health coaching will provide you with data-driven support and provide holistic coaching on nutrition, movement, sleep, mindfulness and supplements.

From our trials, it is validated that participants change habits mostly due to the advice and motivation from human health coaches. People respond better to health coaching from a real human supported by data and technology, over automated chatbots.

We believe that our new smart health platform is a needed global solution for proactive health to become the new norm.
