Diabetes remains one of the most common non-communicable diseases in Singapore. A 2010 report revealed that 1 in 9 residents between 18 to 69 years were affected by diabetes, with another 14% of Singaporeans aged 18–69 years diagnosed with pre-diabetes. To combat this, three medical doctors – Dr. Sue-Anne Toh, Dr. Kyle Tan and Dr. Joanne Tay – came together and founded NOVI Health in 2018. The Singaporean health tech startup specialises in diabetes care and weight loss, with a unique holistic approach that integrates clinical treatments with behavioural and lifestyle interventions.
“Even if you have the best expertise to come up with the perfect assessment and plan to get healthier, human beings are not always rational,” says Dr. Toh, a senior endocrinologist and CEO at NOVI Health. That’s why NOVI facilitates building trusted relationships between users and its care team who can empower them on their journey and support them all the way.
