About the solution

Wellpepper is a patient engagement platform designed to improve healthcare outcomes by ensuring continuity of care.
Anne Weiler, CEO and Co-founder, aims to transform the patient's journey through a user-friendly interactive care plan.

Anne's pivot into healthcare was catalyzed by her mother's experience with a rare autoimmune disease. After her mother spent six months in the hospital and was discharged, there was a lack of continuity in her care, prompting Anne to question why this was the case in an era of constant connectivity.

Wellpepper's mission is centered on creating engaging, actionable experiences for patients, ensuring they understand their care procedures and requirements. This patient-centric approach, combined with the platform's ability to scale via technology, has the potential to revolutionize healthcare provision by providing important information about different sources of care.

The company's impact is already evident through its research partnerships, which include a successful randomized controlled trial for Parkinson's patients.
The intervention group using Wellpepper showed an 11% improvement in mobility compared to a 12% decline in the control group.

This is just a glimpse into the potential of Wellpepper's technology to transform healthcare. The platform's focus on patient engagement, continuity of care, and improved outcomes is poised to make a significant difference in the industry, ultimately reshaping the patient experience in healthcare.

In 2020, the Seattle-based health technology startup Wellpepper was sold to Caravan Health in a deal that promises to expand the reach of Wellpepper’s technology for digital patient treatment plans. As part of Caravan Health (Signify Health), Wellpepper will continue to work with its existing customers, while also integrating with Caravan’s offerings.
