Our take

Education is key for people to optimize their physical, mental, and financial health, and mobile applications aiming to provide this are common. However, existing applications will generally focus on lengthy materials within a single subject such as exercise or meditation, as opposed to providing a unified wellness program.

Optimity provides a micro-learning mobile application for wellness education, providing a gamified learning experience around the subject areas of physical activity and nutrition, social and mental health, and financial management. Furthermore, through its gamified and personalized approach, the company is able to provide data-driven insights to the healthcare sector to optimize the way health products are approached.

Although there are several other mobile applications aiming to provide wellness microlearning, Optimity stands out through its unified approach, aiming to reward users with vouchers and discounts for improving their overall wellness. Furthermore, the company has smartly partnered with health services to suggest appropriate solutions to users whilst providing valuable health data insights to the healthcare sector.
