MEGI Health
Our mission is to transform patients from helpless, scared and passive bystanders, to confident and active participants in their treatment. Megi is a virtual heart nurse, that in a human-like interaction guides every individual patient through daily life with their disease and treatment plan. Megi is built on the shoulders of one of the largest cardiovascular centers in the CEE @Magdalena Clinic, serving as a laboratory for continuous development and experimentation. Clinical knowledge and patient experience are fused with digital tools and behavior science to drive meaningful change. And patients love her. 70% of them engage with her daily. She first learned about blood pressure. Unregulated blood pressure is the number one risk factor for death globally, affecting more than 1 billion people, leaving us with many challenges.
