Digital healthcare solution for digestive health and disease MoreLess

Vivante Health, founded in 2016, is transforming the landscape of digestive health and wellness through its innovative program, GIThrive. The company focuses on improving outcomes for individuals suffering from digestive diseases while simultaneously reducing healthcare costs. GIThrive is an all-in-one digital gut health program that combines interactive technology, targeted nutrition, and 24/7 personal support. This comprehensive approach not only addresses the physical symptoms but also provides emotional and nutritional guidance to help users lead healthier lives.

Vivante Health primarily serves health plans and self-insured employers who are looking to manage healthcare costs and improve the well-being of their members or employees. The market it operates in is the healthcare and wellness sector, specifically targeting digestive health, which is a significant concern given that there are 8.3 million emergency room visits annually in the U.S. for digestive issues.

The business model of Vivante Health revolves around offering its GIThrive program to health plans and employers. These clients pay for the service, which in turn is provided to their members or employees. The company makes money through these contractual agreements, which are often based on the number of users enrolled in the program. By improving the digestive health of users, Vivante Health helps reduce the frequency of costly medical interventions, thereby offering measurable cost savings to its clients.

In summary, Vivante Health leverages advanced science, clever technology, and human support to tackle digestive health issues, providing significant benefits both in terms of health outcomes and cost savings.
