HealthMe Technologies thrives in Valais’ digital health ecosystem

Valais-based start-up HealthMe Technologies has been making waves recently after being selected for the CSS and EPFL’s Future of Health Grant programme.

HealthMe Technologies has developed software that empowers patients by enabling them to better understand and assess information provided by medical professionals during consultations. CEO Mohamed Alibashe, a former doctor, was driven to entrepreneurship by his passion for research, patient well-being, and a desire to address challenges faced by patients in the current healthcare system.

HealthMe is dedicated to improving patient-doctor communication by empowering patients to take a more active role in their healthcare, resulting in higher engagement and satisfaction. The company’s technology aims to revolutionize the healthcare industry by addressing communication difficulties, enhancing understanding, and promoting personalized care. With a focus on keeping patients at the heart of the consultation process, HealthMe generates customized outputs in real time that are directly accessible to patients and clinicians.

Supported by Greater Geneva Bern Area (GGBa) and Economic Promotion Valais, HealthMe has chosen the canton of Valais as the location due to its exceptional expertise in digital health, which has fostered a dynamic ecosystem with a highly qualified labor pool.
