I’m confident that the expanded leadership team will deliver on Helfie AI’s mission to become the most trusted AI health company in the market.”

Helfie AI's advanced AI technologies analyse pictures, videos, sound recordings or face scans to check for indications of potential health conditions. Helfie AI generates instant results and offers the user information and options on what to do next. Importantly, the user owns and controls all of the data provided as part of the checks.

About Helfie AI
Helfie AI was founded in Melbourne, Australia in 2021 and has expanded operations to Europe, North America, Africa and Asia with multiple active B2B partnerships with top tier companies already in place.

Helfie AI tackles two of healthcare’s most fundamental challenges: the lack of participation in preventative healthcare and the under-utilisation of health data. Every facet of healthcare, starting with the quality and longevity of human life, can be dramatically improved if everyone actively participates in preventative health and if health data is actively utilized throughout the healthcare system.

The accessibility made possible by Helfie AI can significantly reduce the $7 trillion spent annually on treating preventable conditions.

Helfie AI provides users with clear next steps, connects them to medical care if/as required, allows interaction around numerous health conditions, from cardiovascular to skin health, and enables sharing AI findings with their own carers and doctors.
