Why Oviva?
Our goal is a healthier future for everyone. That's why we help people with weight-related illnesses through the most accessible and effective therapy.
We offer digital programmes designed to support people with weight-related conditions, including obesity, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension. While weight loss is the main goal for many of the people we support, our approach isn't just about the numbers on the scales – it's about improving your health, self-confidence, and quality of life.
Our proven strategy has helped us become award-winning and the largest digital health provider treating diet-related conditions in Europe. We operate within the healthcare systems to give people access to the medical care they need. We are rapidly expanding across Europe, including the UK, Switzerland, Germany and now Poland. You will be joining an organization that has treated 1 million people to date and is continuing to scale up.
