Congrats on launching! As someone whose parents have been increasingly having eye issues in the past few years, this is a godsend. So excited to see how the product continues to develop!

This is great, guys! I have IBS, and there's always been a lack of research-backed options for alleviating symptoms besides the low-FODMAP diet. I actually have a friend who has tried this program and has had tremendous results, and it

Hmm... I'm seeing that it links to mailto:support@mightyhealth.com - are you referring to the "Contact Us" at the very bottom of www.mightyhealth.com/gift, or somewhere else?

Coaches interact with the members every day. The vast majority of our coaching touchpoints are asynchronous -- either checking in or replying to members via SMS, or configuring member's daily plan (step goals, exercise videos, lessons,

Wow, thank you for sharing your personal experience and such a thoughtful response. We'll definitely take your concerns into account as we continue to improve the product. 100% agreed that the underlying issue is not knowing what to do

That's a great question. We're definitely seeing a large shift toward the consumerization of healthcare in the US -- especially starting with product/services that folks are already accustomed to paying out of pocket for (i.e

Yes, we only focus on people over 50! It's in the sub-headline of our site, but we could make it a lot more prominent / repeated throughout -- thanks for the feedback. All of the exercises in our app are specifically designed for

Yes, absolutely! At the start of the program, we ask about nutritional preferences / restrictions, and the coach can also hop on a call to clarify anything.

Agreed! Unfortunately, most people don't think of it as an acute problem until it's too late.

Thanks! Great question. Our coaches are trained to help members develop habits (using a framework similar to Atomic Habits or The Power of Habit) -- to successfully create or replace a habit, you need a trigger, the routine (in our case, th

Yes, that's a great idea. Live video would have even more of a community feel--plus, we could probably capture and edit the streams into re-usable workouts for the future. We'd love to integrate with provider medical records in th

Thanks! We've been working hard on developing our new workout videos, especially since everyone's been stuck at home with little to no equipment recently. Soup can curls look a little funky, but are still effective!

Thanks for the idea! Definitely something to consider for the future, though we'll need to bring on a few experts to develop the content and pathways first. We've seen online solutions like https://donefirst.com/

Our older users have been much more tech-savvy than we anticipated when we first started working on this. Roughly 10k people turn 65 each day, and many of them are in the generation that is used to relying on an iPad every day. That said, w

Agreed! It's such a struggle encouraging people to take preventative health seriously, even as chronic issues start creeping in. Rising insurance deductibles in the US certainly don't help as well. We've found that the member

Thanks for the great feedback. We started with text as it seems more integrated with daily life than in-app chat, but we'd love to expand out channels in the near future. Would love to hear what method you'd prefer instead so I ca

So true -- deductibles are getting higher every year, and my parents are always facing hard decisions on whether or not they should go in for elective visits. Excited to hear your mom's feedback!
