Why

We're excited to introduce Hilja – a AI powered solution that provides personalised approach to pain relief, reducing the need for medication. Chronic pain affects 20 percent of the global population, impacting daily life, and self reliance on pain relievers has created social challenges. Medication, while common, is not a one-size-fits-all solution. The amount of people affected is estimated to increase almost 50% in the next 30 years. Based on several medical professionals we interviewed, there is a need for a solution that integrates seamlessly to medical patient journey, educating and promoting personalized pain relief methods.
