The company was founded in 2014 by two medical doctors, who had worked for years treating patients with lifestyle-related illnesses. A staggering 86% of all deaths are related to lifestyle-related illnesses and the two co-founders, frustrated with dealing with the consequences, decided to explore ways to prevent chronic illnesses and help patients already suffering from such diseases to better manage them, boosting their quality of life and triggering much improved health outcomes. The result from this collaboration was an idea to create a technical solution built on science, rooted in behavioral economics, which would be scalable across multiple therapy areas and drive it with gamification to maximize engagement and positive health outcomes. Currently Sidekick collaborates with pharmaceutical majors, healthcare payers and providers.
