Over the next 30 years, the number of people ages 65 and older is projected to nearly double, but the outlook for their health is starker than ever. Around 80% of older adults have at least one chronic disease (such as heart disease or diabetes), worsened by high rates of obesity and hypertension.

But the ways we help aging adults make much-needed lifestyle changes haven't caught up with the times: traditional brick-and-mortar gyms or weight loss clinics can often be inaccessible, intimidating, or downright ineffective. And ironically, most wellness apps are designed for motivated millennials and don’t take into account evolving needs as one ages.

That’s why we’re building Mighty Health - the first holistic healthy aging app created for older adults.

Everything is designed intentionally for people over 50:

💪🏼 Exercise: Over 200 beginner-friendly, joint-friendly workouts from the comfort of home, from daily stretches to aerobics and chair yoga

🥗 Nutrition: Personalized nutrition plan and grocery list, customized with foods and recipes members actually love

💁🏻‍♀ Coaching: An dedicated expert health coach providing guidance and keeping members on track

🎉 Community events: Fun live events, including sleep meditations, cooking classes, 10 minute stretches, and Q&As with doctors on self-care

Mighty Health is backed by leading investors including AARP and Y Combinator, and is currently a covered benefit for over 7 million people in the US.
