Problem and implemented solution

Over 90% of global healthcare costs can be traced back to preventable conditions like stress, anxiety, depression, cardiovascular disease, obesity & diabetes, additionally, there are over 350,000 health apps available in the market right now and over $300 000 billion has been invested privately in health-tech in the past decade. However, this rapid growth has not been without its challenges and while organisations play a critical role in supporting life quality, they need accurate data to choose the most impactful initiatives. Most solutions are fragmented and siloed, focusing on specific conditions without addressing overall individual needs, and often lack scientific validity. Additionally, data privacy and a failure to understand real individual and employee needs are widespread issues, leading to low user engagement and high costs without significant impact. By addressing these industry-wide challenges head-on, syd™ is optimally positioned to serve both individuals and organisations. syd™ is an AI-powered platform leveraging >1 million scientific papers, designed to enhance life quality for people through personalised recommendations and improve the organisational health, productivity and retention of companies with science-backed solutions.We are revolutionising preventive health as a pioneering B2B SaaS company, uniquely leveraging scientific research and artificial intelligence to offer an all-in-one scalable solution. With over 4 years of R&D, syd™ delivers personalised, science-backed and preventative recommendations to individuals globally via its user-friendly Super-App, resulting in a 48% reduction in stress, anxiety and depression. This Super-App is connected to a population insights Dashboard. Through its population insights Dashboard, syd™ has proven to improve the organisational health, productivity (+23%), retention (+15%) and ROI (12-20x) of companies - by delivering robust, actionable employee insights and enabling data-driven strategies. At the heart of our App and Dashboard is the Life Quality Index™ – a unique metric redefining how life quality can be continuously and comprehensively measured across 9 key interlinked life dimensions (physical health, career, financial health, brain power, purpose, self-awareness, emotional health, social life, and environment). Our mission is to enhance life quality for 1 billion people and empower individuals to discover a life they love.

Description of competitive advantages

Our competitive advantages are as follows: - Science-Backed and Research-Driven - More than 1 million scientific papers continuously contribute to syd’s output and user-experience. This is possible only through our unique way of leveraging AI and technology, setting us apart from others in the industry. The recommendations provided are specifically tailored to meet the distinct needs and goals of our members and organisations, without compromising on scientific rigour and accuracy. You are welcome to visit our science page if you want to dive deeper into this aspect. - In-House Proprietary AI Foundation - Our advanced artificial intelligence models are constantly evolving, offering hyper-personalised and human-like interactions that surpass those of other AI conversational companions—and even some human interactions. - All-in-One App Covering All 9 Dimensions of Life - Unlike the multitude of specialised apps on the market (health apps, mental health apps, financial apps, social apps, career apps, etc.), syd uniquely addresses all core areas of life in one comprehensive application. Physical health, career, financial health, brain power, purpose, self-awareness, emotional health, social life, and environment - syd covers it all. Furthermore, this is based on the Life Quality Index (LQI), a proprietary metric developed by syd to accurately measure life quality, which has been recognised as a gold standard by several esteemed global institutions. - User-Friendly, Innovative Platform - syd bridges the gap between employees and organisations through an innovative, user-friendly platform that delivers impactful solutions and insightful data integration, in an actionable manner. In other words, we possess a deep comprehension of the multifaceted problem encompassing individual and organisational strains - such as escalating burnout, anxiety, depression, a diminishing sense of purpose, alongside corporate challenges like absenteeism, disengagement, high turnover, and soaring healthcare costs. Despite the plethora of existing solutions and platforms, none offers a comprehensive solution. Our all-in-one approach is holistic, integrating a Super-app for employees and a Dashboard for companies, interconnected and evidence-based. This integration ensures a customised experience for individuals and delivers critical data to organisations, addressing the issues comprehensively from both bottom-up and top-down. This results in happier people, higher life quality and organisations performing better.
