Our take
Pelago, formerly known as Quit Genius, was founded by a team of medical professionals who observed the lack of clear guidance from doctors on how to effectively quit smoking.
The core of Pelago's product revolves around cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a proven method for behavioral change. By focusing on replacing negative thoughts and feelings that trigger smoking with healthier, more positive alternatives, Pelago aids users on their journey to quit smoking. Recognizing the staggering $146 billion annual cost of smoking to employers, Pelago collaborates with businesses to reach and support users in their quest to quit.
However, Pelago's mission goes beyond personal wellness, aspiring to address a broader issue. The company believes that by targeting behavioral patterns, it has the potential to prevent a significant portion of the 40% of premature deaths currently attributed to such patterns, a figure that exceeds the impact of the $3 trillion spent globally on healthcare, which currently prevents only 10% of premature deaths. Notably, Pelago's effectiveness is underscored by a study published in JMIR mHealth, which found that it outperformed the NHS Smoke-free app - an impressive feat for a relatively new startup.
