Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Observia is a legitimate, established health-tech company (founded 2011) specializing in patient adherence and behavioral diagnostics (SPUR™, d.tells™). Search verifies significant traction, including the validity of its scientific tools and a recent strategic acquisition/asset deal with Clinical Ink (a global life science tech company). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing factually incorrect claims (audience: 'everyone', traction: 'most people have used my product') and data entry errors ('ShadowStone', 'marketcap: 17000000'). While the underlying technology and business reality are strong (comparable to or exceeding the calibration baseline), the score is penalized heavily for the misleading and unprofessional submission data.

Project Details

Description
Since 2011, we have been a passionate pioneering health tech company committed to driving the healthcare (r)evolution and improving patients’ lives. We work with healthcare stakeholders that aim to create value at every step of the patient journey: industrial companies, healthcare facilities, healthcare professionals, and patient organizations. As a European reference, we help companies to develop personalized, intelligent patient engagement and support solutions, and to define and implement patient strategies. We have created a new generation of evidence-based tools to support efficient patient behavioral change and improve the user experience. d.tells™, our smart engine for personalizing patient solutions, is powered by SPUR™, our behavioral diagnostic tool, and OPC™, our digital cloud platform that supports client’s developments. Our products are anchored in the behavioral sciences and driven by artificial intelligence, two critical pillars that promote effective personalization. These tools successfully help patients to overcome behavioral challenges, such as treatment non-adherence, and deliver clinically measurable results. Observia has been created in 2011 by three founders. After 3 years in Paris Biotech Santé incubator in Cochin hospital, Observia settled in Paris and opened a subsidiary in Shanghai in 2018. In 2021, the company employs more than 50 people and does 60% of its turnover internationally.
