Liva Healthcare

Scalable and personal health programmes for lifestyle and chronic disease management.

Need:

The prevalence of lifestyle-related chronic diseases is increasing and there is a strong societal and patient need for accessible, personal lifestyle interventions that can help prevent and manage these conditions. Health-positive lifestyle change is hard to achieve and sustain, patients lack the health capital to drive lifestyle change, and motivational support for realizing lifestyle change is inaccessible and impersonal.

Solution:

Scalable and personal health programmes for lifestyle and chronic disease management, through app-based coaching interventions.

A user journey in the Liva programme starts with an easy online booking of a personal health coach. A 45-minutes live video consultation is used to build personalised lifestyle plan and to provide introduction to pharmacotherapy and/or medical device protocol. Digital coaching is available weekly for the first 6 month, hereafter bi-weekly, and group coaching and support is also available.

What our customers say:

Emma, Liva member:
“I started on the Liva programme in November 2020. I was gaining weight every month. As much as I tried on my own to lose weight, I was gaining weight. I’ve achieved what I feel are very good results. I’ve lost 4 stone, 56 pounds in 6 months. By losing the weight I’m more confident, I’m fitter, I’m more agile, and I will continue using it.”

Wayne, Liva member:
“I started using the Liva programme end of January 2021. It was a recommendation from my doctor. So, using the Liva programme, I’ve reduced my weight by 3 stone. I’ve reduced my Hba1c level from 49 to 34 mmol/mol. My coach tells me, that’s amazing.”
