Our mission
Kaia is a mission-focused health technology company.
Our story began in 2016, when our founders Konstantin Mehl and Manuel Thurner set out on a mission to bring affordable and accessible relief to millions of people with chronic conditions. No strangers to chronic pain themselves, they decided to innovate ways to remove obstacles many people face in accessing leading-edge care to live their best lives.
Kaia apps use a dynamic AI-powered algorithm. Our programs are based on multimodal rehabilitation, a holistic approach to managing chronic conditions. Users can access our programs for back/hip/knee pain and COPD via smartphone and tablet using this evidence-based approach.
Five years into our story, we are a leader in digital therapeutics with over 500,000 users worldwide. Having raised $125 million from investors such as Optum Ventures, idInvest, and Balderton Capital. We aim to create a global footprint in digital self-care; Kaia is patient empowerment made easy.
The regulatory landscape is adapting to the digital ecosystem. Our mission and strategy bring new opportunities for exceptional talent to join our journey. With over 100 “Kaianeers” globally, we need specialized talent to advance our mission further.
