At Aktivo they believe that a healthy population lays the foundations for happy, productive and connected societies. To reach this goal, the Singapore-based startup harnesses science to empower the population to live long and healthy lives and thereby reduce the growing burden of non-communicable chronic disease. They created Aktivolabs to take on the challenge of improving population health. At Aktivolabs, they are building digital behavioral modification tools using best practices and scientific methods to improve the health of people across cultures and countries.

Their flagship health app, Aktivo, is powered by a proprietary algorithm generating the Aktivo Score, which is a digital biomarker for health and longevity. The Aktivo app empowers users to take control of their daily lifestyle choices. A proprietary algorithm, it is derived from scientific evidence that weighs the physical activities over a 24-hour period and provides information on what an ideal healthy physical lifestyle is, to improve health and longevity. The Score improves individuals’ lives by engaging them with their health, insurance companies by helping them manage their risk better, companies by encouraging a healthier workforce and society by democratizing digital health.

Aktivo is currently active in Egypt, Thailand, India, SG, UAE.

Innovative solutions to three categories:

• For the user: Aktivo helps busy working individuals make the right lifestyle choices within the rush of their professional and personal routines. To get the right guidance on leading a long and healthy life, they just need their smartphones to get started and try and reach their optimal Aktivo Scores. The Score is a useful indicator of how they are doing with regards to 4 most important health-based pillars of lifestyle and they can also team up with their family and friends for custom challenges to keep each other on the Aktivo track as they improve their Aktivo Score
• For corporations: Aktivo gives corporations a low touch, high impact platform that gives their employees the information to make the right choices for healthy lifestyles and long-term health
• For insurers: Aktivo helps life and health insurers to engage and acquire high value customers, price and manage risk at scale, and provide a deeply valued service for meaningful interaction with customers. Using historical and customer-behavioural data, the Aktivo Analytics Engine provides deep insights into Customer Lifetime Values and Population Health Models

How it works

Key-benefits:

• Aktivo does not require a wearable in order to work, unlike other players in this sector. For the user, Aktivo breaks the cycle of generic notifications without actionable insights, and generating data points, but failing to provide meaning to the end user
• For life and health insurers, Aktivo provides a new and compelling product design, the options of accelerated and dynamic underwriting, and machine-based analytical insights to strengthen their portfolio. It also gives them the ability to attract a younger population, unlock high risk segments and design exclusive group products.
