About Sonoa Health®
Sonoa Health® is an Australian-owned company that specialises in finding innovative digital solutions that will improve:
- Productivity
- Cost-efficiency
- Accessibility
- Quality of care
- Population health
Over the past ten years, Sonoa Health® has established world-class research and development capabilities in health promotion and disease prevention, with an Australian-based multidisciplinary team of 100+ professionals including doctors, scientists, content creators, engineers, and quality assurance specialists. All backed by some of Australia’s most-eminent doctors, who serve on its Medical Advisory Board.
The team confirmed early on that only digital could satisfy the needs of all stakeholders (consumers, providers, business and government) by interconnecting each group’s interests with the protective power of prevention, participation, personalisation and sound population health management.
Success meant finding new ways to collect and analyse data, personalise information, automate preventive care, improve health literacy and activate engagement.
