What is Curv Health and what does it do?
Curv Health is Toronto and Halifax-based health tech startup which connects employers and insurers with healthcare providers.
The initial focus of Curv Health was to use AI, computer vision, and machine learning technologies to measure human movement.
Today, using the same technologies, it delivers online rehab & fitness services to employees and clients of the insurers through the mobile app itself.
In addition to this, Curv Health also provides several other wellness and healthcare services that include physical, nutritional, and mental health care.
Using Curv Health mobile app, users can connect to physiotherapists, psychotherapists, counsellors, dietitians, and certified diabetes educators.
Not only this, but Curv Health also serves several support needs of the users by connecting them with registered financial & investment advisors, online estate & will planners, career coaches, and registered insurance advisors.
Recently, Curv Health has bagged $5.1 million in its second round so far from Build Ventures and health tech-focused iGan Partners.
Who are the target audiences of Curv Health and how does it help them?
As of now, Curv Health isn’t available to individuals and that’s part of their strategy.
Because, for early-stage health tech startups, acquiring an individual customer and acquiring a corporate customer, both are overwhelming. But corporate customers help health tech startups make more revenue as a single corporate customer brings in 100+ customers!
Thus, Curv Health targets employers or companies and insurers.
- Employers:
Curv Health enables employers to let their employees have easy access to healthcare providers for their healthcare and wellness needs.
Curv Health’s online employee assistance program helps employees to achieve their financial and healthcare goals with the help of professionals.
Curv Health offers several plans to employers. The most basic plan starts from just $1 per employee.
- Insurers
Like employers, Curv Health also facilitates insurers to give Curv Health platform access to the members. In a more specific way, insurers can provide members with a single app for mental, physical and nutritional health.
How does Curv Health use cutting-edge technologies for better patient outcomes?
As we discussed before, Curv Health leverages three game-changing technologies, AI, machine learning and computer vision.
Out of its all services, Curv Health majorly utilizes these technologies in its physical health service.
How?
Well, the app module working on AI, ML and computer vision measures the body movements of users while they are going through virtual fitness and rehab classes.
Based on the real-time body movement data of the users, the app module determines the precise progress of users that helps coaches to provide some personalized tips to improve the performance, ultimately resulting in quicker recovery and an enhanced outcome.
This way, Curv Health enhances the patient outcome using a data-driven approach.
