The startup augments medical expertise with AI to create personalised health plans for customers based on their diagnostic results and wearable data. It guides users through rigorous optimisation cycles throughout their member experience using digital coaching in the areas of diet, exercise, supplements, and sleep.
Mito aims to serve the health-conscious demographic and individuals looking for strategies to maintain their health beyond annual checkups and supplements. The initial focus is Singapore, with plans to expand regionally into other developed markets.
CTO Joel Kek said: “Imagine having an always-accessible medical team that understands you well, helping you to improve health and performance. This currently exists for athletes and the ultrawealthy. Mito Health makes this accessible by combining deep medical expertise with advanced AI models.”
