Based on recent analysis of the wellness analytics market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes dacadoo as the recipient of the 2016 Global Visionary Innovation Leadership award. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that best employs analytics for wellness solutions and demonstrates leadership in delivering technology affecting the health and wellness industry. The award recognizes the efficacy of the recipient’s innovative process and the impact it has on business and society at large.
Dacadoo has proved its commitment to tracking health in real time by providing users with a solution to assess their overall well-being and employers with a tool to ensure healthy behaviour among employees. Dacadoo sets itself apart by truly quantifying health. The company assigns a score to an individual’s health after analysing real-time input from body makeup, emotions, and lifestyle. This scientifically based score is based on more than 100 million person-years of clinical data and forms the basis of dacadoo’s wellness platform.
“The dacadoo model qualifies 115 outdoor and indoor activities as exercise, and automatically tracks the activities using the dacadoo smartphone app or other fitness tracking apps that easily integrate into the dacadoo system,” said Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Siddharth Shah. “Furthermore, dacadoo features a nutrition coach that is based on a behavioral model as opposed to a logging model and it is backed by an artificial intelligence engine that guides and motivates users to follow healthier diets.”
“Having established a leading market presence across Europe, dacadoo is gradually making its presence felt in the United States as well,” noted Siddharth. “In less than five years, dacadoo already has clients in the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, Japan, South Africa, Norway, Sweden, and Czech Republic as well as in its home base of Switzerland. This is a strong foundation for the accelerated growth of dacadoo’s health score-based platform in the global market.”
