The Scale Lies. Styku Built a Spinning Camera That Doesn't.
A physicist who once worked on NASA's human spaceflight program bet that people quit diets because a bathroom scale can't show progress. His answer: a rotating infrared camera that turns your body into data - and, lately, a health screen.
Healthlane
Healthlane is an African preventive-health company (Y Combinator W20) that pairs a mobile app with a network of diagnostic laboratories to give people personalized health checkups and screening. Founded by Alain Nteff and Dr. Agbor Ashumanyi Ako, it grew out of the maternal-health service GiftedMom with a goal of catching disease early rather than treating it late.
Doctor Anywhere
Doctor Anywhere is a Singapore-headquartered, tech-led healthcare company founded in 2017 by Lim Wai Mun. It started as a telemedicine app that put a licensed doctor on a video call within minutes, then deliberately grew downward into the physical world - GP clinics, specialist practices, health screening and imaging suites, home visits, medication delivery and an in-app health marketplace. The company describes the result as a 'Hospital Anywhere' model: one app that carries a patient from a 2am sore throat to a knee surgeon, across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. It serves roughly 3 million users, sells to consumers, corporates and insurers, and has raised about US$176 million from investors including Asia Partners, Novo Holdings, Square Peg, EDBI, IHH Healthcare, Philips and Pavilion Capital.
