Our take
When a patient is in hospital, they’re treated by doctors and nurses - people who can operate on you, take tests, check you’re ok and give you your medication until you're better. But what’s much harder to treat is a patient at home, living their life, who has to take regular medication - but doesn’t. Wellth is on a mission to change that.
It draws on the science of behavioural economics to boast over 90% care plan adherence in patients who use its services, and its platform is very simple - financial incentives for looking after yourself. Users post a picture of their medication, their blood sugar readings, or whatever it is they should be doing every day, and Wellth’s AI algorithm checks for inconsistencies (and notifies the relevant parties if anything seems wrong). The patient receives reward points to be spent in participating establishments.
Its model is a unique one and has been proven to get results, bagging it major healthcare providers as partners such as Axa and Wellcare. Looking forward, the company is further investing in is use of AI to expand its platform.
