WellteQ Digital Health

Overview

In 2020, the COVID-19 global pandemic shook traditional healthcare structures on a worldwide level. Not only did healthcare institutions need integrated systems to manage the influx of patients and personalized information, but companies needed to keep track of the wellness of their teams as large numbers of employees switched to remote work environments.

In this increasingly digital age, the sphere of telemedicine helped to not only revolutionize healthcare navigation but our perception of wellness management. Telemedicine has proven that the world could use innovative digital technologies to not only manage health complications but potentially proactively prevent them. As the global healthcare market is forecasted to grow to nearly US$11.9 trillion by 2022, investing in wellness technology today is investing in the healthcare of tomorrow.

WellteQ Digital Health (CSE:WTEQ) (OTCQB:WTEQF) is a digitally driven health and wellness company aiding the transition from old school healthcare navigation to a more personalized data-driven patient experience. Through data capture, artificial intelligence and analytics solutions, the company seeks to help people take control of their own wellness and overcome accessibility issues around health.

WellteQ customers currently include employers and insurance companies. In December 2020, Singapore reported stress alone can cost companies an estimated US$3.1 billion per year. To prevent such costs and ensure employee success, companies and insurers are making employee health and stress management major priorities for corporate wellness programs.

WellteQ's philosophy emphasizes rethinking wellness through preventative and proactive solutions instead of focusing on the reactionary treatment of health. In 2017, WellteQ partnered with Garmin to receive biometrics from Garmin's wearable biotech and incorporate that data into its advanced wellness portal and analytic solutions. Future generations of this technology combination are expected to support more health and wellness programming.

Operating out of one of the densest population zones in the world, the company also intends on expanding its APAC user base to larger worldwide markets. The completely digitally driven model means unlimited scalability and international localization. Likewise, WellteQ has designed its program to be a multifaceted digital solution that impacts every aspect of healthcare, including mental, behavioral and physiological health.

The company has plans to leverage the positive trends in telemedicine and upgrade its programming for a more unified user experience. The company has plans to upgrade their accessible API architecture to handle more data and integrated device connectivity. This optimization could allow algorithms to create a complete picture of health on an ongoing basis.

The growing WellteQ team consists of passionate professionals dedicated to innovating global health and telemedicine. With experience in commercial, medical and software engineering fields, the diverse team brings world-class expertise that has provided the foundation for its technical growth and economic success.
