FAQs

What is NOVI Health?

NOVI Health combines clinical care with personalized health coaching and state-of-the-art technology to help you prevent, manage and even reverse diabetes and other metabolic diseases such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and fatty liver.

Is NOVI Health a clinic?

Yes, and so much more. Our specialist medical clinic, which houses our specialist doctors and care team, is in the heart of the city (in the Central Business District). However, under NOVI Health, your care doesn’t end at the clinic – with personalized health coaching and our proprietary mobile application NOVIFY, we are able to help you understand, target and change your lifestyle behaviors on a real-time basis, wherever you are.

What is NOVIFY?

NOVIFY is our proprietary mobile application that helps you better understand, in real-time, your current health status and how your lifestyle behaviors influence your health. NOVIFY tracks and monitors your key physiological variables (like your glucose, blood pressure, weight), and your behavior (like your diet, physical activity, sleep). This allows you to see how your daily choices impact your body. This information also helps us set goals, tailor interventions and provide advice that is personalized to you.

NOVIFY is also a one-stop solution through which you can communicate directly with your care team and make your clinic appointments anytime, anywhere.

I am perfectly healthy. Why would I need NOVI Health?

First, to get a better understanding of your metabolic health. Traditional health screenings merely assess for presence or absence of disease. Yet, 90% of your health is determined by factors that these screenings cannot measure. NOVI Health’s evidence-based, state-of-the-art, personalized risk profiling incorporates assessment of your lifestyle, genetics and physiology to give you a more comprehensive view of your health.

Second, if you are interested in how your body and health are affected by your existing lifestyle, NOVI Health will give you a much deeper understanding of how your diet, exercise, work stress and other variables impact your health.

Finally, if there are certain health-related behaviors you would like to address (such as eating or exercising better), NOVI Health will help and empower you to make the right changes with specialist advice from your care team.

I am at risk of or live with metabolic disease. What can NOVI Health do for me?

Studies have shown that changing lifestyle behaviors can be more effective than drug therapy in reducing diabetes risk. If you are at risk of developing metabolic disease (for example, if you have pre-diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver, positive family history or are overweight) or suffer from metabolic disease (e.g. diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol):

  1. We can provide you with the clinical care you require (including prescribing medication).

  2. Through our innovative and state-of-the-art NOVIFY mobile application and health coaching, we can help you make the right choices, alter your lifestyle behaviors and achieve your health goals

  3. You will have convenient access to your personal care team, which will comprise specialist doctors, nurses and health coaches.

I already have my own doctor. Can I still use NOVI Health’s services?

Yes! If you have your own healthcare provider but would like access to our team of health coaches and professionals, and our NOVIFY mobile application, contact us for a discussion on how we can partner with you and your doctor to provide complementary care.

Do I have to be tech-savvy to benefit from NOVI Health?

No, you don’t! We believe that your healthcare should be delivered in as straightforward and informative a manner as possible – we designed NOVIFY to be simple and user-friendly, so that it can be used by anyone.

Will NOVIFY reduce my interactions with a clinical doctor?

Definitely not. We believe that technology is just one component of how we deliver care. It complements and supports, but does not replace, the relationship between you and our specialist doctors and care team – so you can be assured that your personal preferences and needs always come first.
