Oviva was founded in 2014 by Kai Eberhardt (CEO), Manuel Baumann (CTO) and Mark Jenkins (UK Managing Partner & Medical Director). Oviva's solution combines personal advice by a dietitian with a smart app that people use to record information such as meals, physical activity or weight. In addition, the app enables a regular exchange with the dietitian via chat and provides the Oviva user with helpful learning content. Longer-term, Oviva helps its users to lead a healthier life, relieves pressure on doctors to advise weight and lifestyle, and ultimately leads to savings for the health system. Oviva works directly with statutory health insurers and national health systems and operates in Switzerland, Germany, the UK and France. Since 2021, the Oviva app is certified as a medical device.
