WellNewMe, along with 15 other innovative enterprises from across the continent of Africa, will present their innovation at the third edition of the prestigious Pitch@Palace Africa event holding at St. James Palace, London in March, 2019.
The exciting start-ups will get an opportunity to demonstrate their businesses to an invited audience of global influencers who can help catapult them to the next level. Established by The Duke of York, in less than four years Pitch@Palace has helped nearly 300 businesses grow, with some now enjoying huge global success.
WellNewMe provides a patented online platform that measures and improves all the key drivers of well-being, health and productivity, spanning personal, emotional, health and work issues. It does this by using an algorithmic approach to determine the health risks of individuals using their medical histories and biometric screenings and then proffers advice to the individuals based on their health risks to developing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes and cancer. WellNewMe also measure stress and environmental safety risks in the workplace.
The Duke of York, Prince Andrew founder of Pitch@Palace, said: “As Pitch@Palace expands around the world, I am determined to encourage ambitious and talented sub-Saharan African entrepreneurs, many of them engineers from all disciplines, to make use of their skills to develop scalable solutions to local challenges.”
“Pitch@Palace Africa is focused on building on the strengths of the African continent to ensure responsiveness to global challenges and delivery of a more prosperous, secure, sustainable and fair future for all its citizens,” he added.
WellNewMe’s major goal is to help individuals live a long and normal healthy life by guiding them on making lifestyle changes to reduce the incidences of lost work days due to absenteeism and presenteeism, identifying workplace stressors as well as pinpointing negative traits that drain the overall energy of an organisation, all of which inhibit productivity.
As the only health services company in Nigeria that provides workplace health solutions targeted to identify organisational health issues supported by the requisite expertise with the aim of increasing productivity and invariably revenue and profitability; WellNewMe is well positioned to provide a service that is second to none.
