The maker of one of such app mentioned, Clue, is a Berlin based startup: https://www.helloclue.com/company.html

I guess that 4 people do not work for free. I understand that There's a huge potential for health care service providers, but how could this company get money out of this? This app is free for everyone. I do not connect the dots why one health care service provider should fund it. So perhaps you could elaborate it from this point of view?



view as:

In the case of Clue it looks like they are selling data insights, although it looks more like they're interested in overall trends rather than individuals (caveat: based on their marketing). They're already quite big at 22 staff (the 4 you saw on the site are the founders), and they're still hiring. That's all paid for with VC cash at the moment. I don't imagine they can easily cover that level of burn without targeting enterprise customers once the inventment runs out, which likely will be things like white label apps sold directly to health care providers - in European countries there's often one major provider that's run by the government. Selling a white-labelled app to them that can save the provider a large sum of money wouldn't be that hard.

Yes, but this one insurance instance is run by the state or directly controlled by the state.

Are women really so naive that they would provide such information to the state?
