Making Healthcare Simpler for You
In just two short years, 1Life has already supported over one million patients across all 81 provinces. By using clever, AI-backed systems, they have managed to condense what used to take four separate doctor visits into just one single visit.
The team at 1Life strongly believes that everyone deserves a fair chance at a healthy life, regardless of where they live or their financial situation. As 1Life President Niño Namoco beautifully puts it: “Preventive care only works if people can actually get tested, and that has always been 1Life’s mission… When a patient can receive a comprehensive laboratory workup at no cost, that goes beyond diagnosis. That is an opportunity for a healthier life.”
