About
What We Do
By combining best practices from health science and social science, Healthiby has created a behavior change solution that empowers and incentivizes teams of peers to take back control of their health, together.
After setting their own personalized health and wellness goals, participants at-risk of or diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, hypertension or high cholesterol join teams and earn virtual rewards, HealthiBucks, when they take various HealthiActions, individually and collectively.

Mission | Vision | Values
Purpose Driven
Healthiby aims to reverse the rising tide of preventable chronic conditions, like Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol, by making behavior change more engaging, rewarding and lasting.
Our innovative behavior change solution includes team and individual contests, team coaching, targeted evidence-based learning content, and customizable incentives for over 20 HealthiActions, which are the ‘building blocks’ towards better health outcomes.
What We Value
Rewards that Matter
Healthiby rewards measurable improvements from baseline conditions over time.
We value evidenced improvements in health and wellness. We incentivize taking small actions and achieving goals that are scientifically proven to change behavior and improve health. We believe that rewards ‘earned together’ are more motivating and engaging than rewards earned alone.
Empowerment
Healthiby’s solution empowers teams of peers to make behavioral changes
Fun & Openness
Openness to new ideas and ways of doing things enables us to have more fun in our health and wellness journeys.
Sharing new and creative ways of eating healthy and competing or collaborating in exercise contests with peers can be fun and inspiring when we’re open to the possibility of new ideas and new ways of reaching our goals.
Co-Learning
We value continual learning and experimentation, both among participants and as a startup focused on solving complex health and behavioral challenges. During and between team sessions, participants share their progress and challenges and learn from eachother. We learn from participants how to meet them where they are, engage them and continuously improve our solution.
Evidence-Based Outcomes
We value good data and evidence-based outcomes. We require baseline data for every behavioral or biometric goal set and provide strong accountability mechanisms for behavior change. This data-driven approach separates us from the herd of wellness solutions on the market, and enables us to do more substantive experimentation and engagement.
Commitment & Accountability
Wellness journeys are unique and personal for each individual. We personalize the experience to increase buy-in and ownership, while also providing strong accountability and creating new norms through team contests, team learning and more.
Our Beginnings
The original concept for Healthiby comes from a physician’s frustrations with preventable chronic conditions. Considering nearly half of the U.S. population will have at least one preventable chronic condition by 2025, the health and social problems associated with chronic conditions are increasing, and many of the current prevention and management approaches are insufficient for achieving meaningful, measurable health outcomes.
Founded in 2018 with the belief that financial benefits should align with health benefits, Healthiby set out to create a solution that rewards health and wellness, together.
