Exponential Digital Health
$68B annually is lost in health and productivity due to sedentary lifestyle, causing health problems for 2 billion people, intensified by the pandemic, quarantine and telework. For this reason, we created the first virtual therapists, aquatic and land mode, using a mixed reality lens, natural language processing and machine learning, to guide a digitized methodology of exercises with the highest scientific evidence, including nutritional advice and gamification when interacting with virtual objects, turning the session into a game, increasing adherence to treatment, to rehabilitate injuries, eliminate diseases and promote healthy lifestyles, from the comfort of your home.
$68B is lost each year in health and productivity due to physical inactivity. In addition, the WHO indicates that 60% of the world population is sedentary, causing health problems for 2,000 million people, such as body aches, tiredness, stress, obesity and various diseases, generating absenteeism, medical leave and low productivity. These data are prior to the arrival of the pandemic, which have been intensified by quarantine and telework, negatively impacting people on a psychological, physical and work level.
We created the first virtual therapists, aquatic and land mode, using a mixed reality lens (union between virtual and augmented), natural language processing and machine learning, to guide a digitized methodology of exercises with the highest scientific evidence, including nutritional advice and gamification when interacting with virtual objects (eating fruits, save marine animals, destroy viruses and catch legendary monsters), turning the session into a game, increasing adherence to treatment, according to objective and health condition, to rehabilitate injuries, eliminate diseases and promote healthy lifestyles, from the comfort of your home. In addition, they are integrated into a clinic with doctors and digital influencers who recommend them.
Customer Segment: Patients with health problems, which can be solved with an optimal prescription of physical exercise and rehabilitation, such as body aches, fatigue, stress, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and various pathologies, which generate absenteeism, medical leave and low productivity , who want to access technological services and products of digital health, that solve their problems in a simple, safe way and in the comfort of their home, without transfers, valuing their time.

A small virus has immobilized everyone and that is why it is beating us, it's true that we need a vaccine, but later other viruses will emerge that will challenge us again, the problem is how we respond, we must not stop moving, in our homes We can fight without going out on the battlefield, that is, we can stay in our trenches (quarantine) and strengthen our bodies, in this way we will fight this enemy, but how? Through physical exercise, it's possible to improve the immune system, strengthen respiratory muscles and many more benefits, through the first virtual therapists.
- Growth: An organization with an established product, service, or business model rolled out in one or, ideally, several communities, which is poised for further growth.
We have experience in creating virtual therapists, before the pandemic we developed Kaenz, the first virtual aquatic therapist, which we applied in +700 sessions in Aquatic Center, Teletón Institute and residential pools, in people with different diseases or health conditions (obesity, cancer, osteoarthritis, body pain, hypertension, diabetes, pregnant women, children with disabilities and post-surgery). They pay us 90 USD for 8 monthly sessions. Being the immediate impacts, a feeling of relief with energies recharged by endorphins, serotonins and dopamines that are stimulated with this exercise methodology. Obtaining integral benefits by reducing 3 kilograms of fat, 95% of pain and improving quality of life, treating various diseases in the same therapy, putting the patient at center.
Finally, since 2019 we created Asdisal, with an active community of 256 startups with a scientific-technological base in healthtech in Iberoamerica, which promotes synergies and collaboration networks, promoting the Latam healthtech ecosystem to the world.
- A new technology
We have 4 differentiating attributes: 1) Platforms with virtual therapists, based on machine learning, mixed reality and gamification. 2) Innovative exercise methodology, based on Clinical Reasoning, Training Principles and Physical Exercise Prescription, validated with +700 sessions in people of different ages and health conditions (pregnancy, obesity, chronic diseases and body pain, in the water), digitized in software. 3) Integrated in a Clinic interoperable with health systems, through high international standards (Snomed-CT, HL7/FHIR, GDPR and HIPAA), with doctors and digital influencers who recommend them. 4) Triple impact, because by carrying out Kaenz or Kaibaz, they improve people's well-being and healthy habits, helping the environment with their products (eco-design and circular economy).
