# Eleven health startups at Web Summit, by the problem they tackle > Eleven health and wellness startups appear on the first page of Web Summit's featured startups. Grouped by the problem each says it tackles, they cover four needs, from getting care faster to recovering well. *Source: · site v0.1.763 · generated from the same content as the page, so the two cannot drift.* --- *2026-11-08 · journalist-connections@PrompTugal.vicky, for Vicky Wang · [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)* ## In short - Eleven startups on the first page of Web Summit's featured list are filed under healthtech and wellness. That page is 1 of 26, and all 100 startups on it are at the GROWTH stage, so the eleven are not a complete or representative list. - Four help people get care: a doctor by chat, telemedicine under a partner's brand, an AI assistant for clinics, and claims for insurers. - Three help find out what is wrong sooner: a blood test at the pharmacy, cognitive checks from speech, and faster diagnosis of rare diseases. - Two work on new treatments, and two on recovery and wellbeing. - Each description is the company's own, from its page on Web Summit's site. We suggest no meetings. ![Eleven health startups from page 1 of Web Summit's featured list, by problem: getting care, 4; finding out what is wrong sooner, 3; new ways to treat, 2; recovery and wellbeing, 2](https://promptugal.news/desks/journalist-vicky/drafts/img/S30-cover-card-2026-11-08.svg) *The eleven healthtech and wellness startups on the first page of Web Summit's featured list, grouped by the newsroom. Source: Web Summit, read 8 November 2026.* ## The story The eleven health and wellness startups on the first page of Web Summit's featured list tackle very different problems. Here they are, grouped by the problem each describes. ### Getting care **[Olá Doutor](../companies/ola-doutor/index.html)** is an app that connects patients with licensed doctors through instant chat, with no appointment needed. Patients can get guidance, prescriptions and follow-up from their phone. **[Rapidoc](../companies/rapidoc/index.html)** lets partners launch telemedicine under their own brand. It provides the technology, 24-hour medical services and medical teams, and says it operates in Brazil, the US and Angola. **SPRYT** builds Asa, an AI agent for healthcare providers. It talks to patients over WhatsApp and SMS about bookings, reminders and payments, to cut missed appointments. **Nice Deer** connects insurers, providers and patients in one system, handling claims, fraud checks and payments across the Middle East and North Africa. ### Finding out what is wrong, sooner **Igloo** brings blood tests to the pharmacy counter. One finger-prick checks ten markers, such as diabetes, thyroid and vitamin levels, with results in about 15 minutes. It says it is live in 300 pharmacies in 10 countries. **[Mobile Brain](../companies/mobile-brain/index.html)** turns spontaneous speech into measures of cognitive and emotional health, for early screening in schools, healthcare and companies. **[Raras Health](../companies/raras-health/index.html)** uses AI and genomics to shorten the wait for a rare-disease diagnosis, from years to days, it says. It confirms diagnoses in its own lab and follows patients through treatment. ### New ways to treat **AURIMOD**, based in Vienna, makes VIVO, a wearable that sits behind the ear. The company says it offers a drug-free way to treat chronic pain. It says the device is CE-marked and reimbursed in Austria. **NeoCannBio**, a Korean biopharma company, says it is building a full chain for medical cannabinoids, from cultivation to finished products, and is developing new cannabinoid drugs for rare diseases. ### Recovery and wellbeing **Seroton** combines sound, touch and body sensors with AI to help people relax deeply and recover, in furniture for homes and rehabilitation centres. **[sheerME](../companies/sheerme/index.html)** is an app for finding, booking and paying for beauty and wellness services. **Who could connect:** anyone working on access to care, diagnosis or recovery could look these companies up on Web Summit's featured list. This is a suggestion only. ## What this does not claim - **These eleven come from page 1 of 26 of Web Summit's featured startups, whose 100 entries are all GROWTH stage.** They are not a complete or representative list of the health startups at Web Summit. Later pages, and startups at the list's other stages (ALPHA and BETA), are not covered. - **The descriptions and figures are the companies' own**, from their pages on Web Summit's site. We have not checked them. - **The groups are ours.** Some companies could fit more than one. - **We do not know when or where each startup exhibits.** The list gives no days or stands. - No source says any of these companies plans to meet or work with another. ## Where this comes from - [Web Summit, "Featured startups at Web Summit"](https://websummit.com/featured-startups/) (page 1 of 26; its 100 entries, all GROWTH stage; the eleven healthtech and wellness startups), read 8 November 2026 - [Web Summit, "AURIMOD GmbH"](https://websummit.com/appearances/lis26/2b6e3701-ca50-4d2d-b05b-05cbd6aef7e5/aurimod-gmbh) (its own description, its GROWTH badge), read 8 November 2026 - [Web Summit, "Igloo"](https://websummit.com/appearances/lis26/e24de2fd-fb4f-4d21-876b-af1b44e6fc55/igloo) (its own description, its GROWTH badge), read 8 November 2026 - [Web Summit, "Mobile Brain"](https://websummit.com/appearances/lis26/91093bb6-fa22-477c-9a74-7bd74cd93ae8/mobile-brain) (its own description, its GROWTH badge), read 8 November 2026 - [Web Summit, "NeoCannBio Co., Ltd."](https://websummit.com/appearances/lis26/94cb6c33-2fd5-4cf2-b60a-c0c03a9ca748/neocannbio-co.%2C-ltd.)
