The problem

The offer is rarely the problem. Access is.

Offers exist but are not found

Exercise programmes, nutrition courses and advice services are scattered across flyers and unknown websites. People who need them do not find them in everyday life.

Impact is hard to evidence

Health insurers need usage evidence and activation data for prevention reporting. This data is missing or costly to collect manually.

Socially disadvantaged groups are not reached

Classic prevention programmes often reach people with high health awareness. People in difficult circumstances are left out.

Coordination between actors is fragmented

Welfare providers, sports clubs, municipalities and insurers work alongside each other rather than together. A shared infrastructure is missing.

Solution

Close creates the digital bridge between everyday life and health offers.

The platform makes prevention discoverable, participatory and measurable in people's daily lives, not in administrative systems.

Make health offers in the neighbourhood visible

Exercise, nutrition, relaxation and social offers are discoverable in a shared local infrastructure, easy to access for everyone.

Enable participation without barriers

Residents find offers via web or app without mandatory registration reachable offline via QR codes and local partners.

Activation signals for prevention reports

Aggregated usage data gives health insurers the impact evidence needed for prevention funding reports and evaluations.

Neighbourhood coordination for health partners

Health kiosks, providers and municipal actors manage offers through a shared partner workspace without duplicating effort.

Impact monitoring for ongoing programmes

Close measures aggregated activation signals not individuals: participation, recurring use, offer reach and social connection.

Value

What health insurers and health promotion partners gain.

Impact evidence for prevention reporting

Reaching socially disadvantaged groups

Easy everyday access to health offers including for people with limited digital access or language barriers.

Coordination without extra overhead

Health kiosks, welfare providers and sports clubs pool their offers on one platform without building their own infrastructure.

Community based health promotion prevention in everyday settings.

Close is designed as a digital infrastructure that makes community health promotion activities visible, participatory and measurable for impact. It is built to complement existing prevention frameworks and produce the evidence funders require.

  • Activation data for prevention reporting and evaluations

  • Privacy compliant aggregated reporting

  • Neighbourhood specific representation of funded activities

  • Complementary to existing prevention programmes

  • No individual data, no tracking at person level
