Company mission
To eliminate health inequities and create a healthier America.
Our take
Between 80% and 90% of a person’s health is determined by environmental and behavioral factors. These Social Determinants of Health (or SDOH) are what Soda Health aims to address, setting out to create more equitable styles of health benefit and ensure better health across social borders.
It works by changing the way health benefits are claimed, offering members a sort of pay-as-you-go benefits credit card. What's covered here are things not traditionally included among health benefits which are impacted by wealth inequity - ability to buy nutritional foods or over-the-counter medicines, and limited access to transport for healthcare appointments.
It’s an interesting model, and not one which has many directly comparable competitors. But the concept of HealthTech for SDOH is an overcrowded market, and Soda Health must be sure to stand out against larger start-ups like Unite Us or Cityblock.
