Company mission

To build products that change the way people think about and act on their health care.

Our take

‘Social’ games have become a major trend this century. That is to say, as the world goes more online the ability to interact and communicate with one another in-game has become as important as the gameplay itself.

Ayogo applies this concept to medical care. By developing games with a uniquely social element, they are able to produce impressive results for medical institutions desperately looking for ways to ensure their patients continuously engage with their medical program.

The company is focusing on widening their product portfolio. However they face competition from other startups seeking to leverage behavioural science to produce similar results. The startup must ensure that they continue to stay on top of these advances in behavioural science and technology in order to stay relevant in the MedTech space.
