Problem
Chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension impose a heavy financial burden—costing over ₦100,000 annually per patient—yet they are largely preventable. Half of those with diabetes or hypertension are unaware of their condition until it has advanced, and limited access to preventive care in the Global South allows avoidable illness and escalating claims costs to go unchecked.
Solution
Myora delivers an AI-powered preventive health and wellness programme designed to help individuals adopt healthier habits and reduce the risk of chronic conditions. An AI health assistant provides 24/7 intelligent support and tools, while qualified nutritionists and fitness coaches offer personalized plans that adapt to food, faith, language, family dynamics, and lifestyle. The platform guides members through wellness assessments, daily check-ins, and progress tracking via WhatsApp and a mobile app, generating health scores and risk insights. By incentivizing healthier behaviors and catching risks early, Myora reports a ₦6 return for every ₦1 invested and a 25% reduction in claims for sponsoring organizations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are employers, HMOs, insurers, and health schemes in the Global South seeking to reduce chronic disease risk and claims costs, as well as individuals who want preventive health support and rewards for healthier living.
