How Novi Health Is Tackling the Rise in Non-Communicable Disease

Among some of the key findings from Malaysia’s National Health and Morbidity Survey 2023 includes the fact that 15% of adults in Malaysia have diabetes, 29% have hypertension, 33% have high cholesterol, and that 54% are overweight. These health issues are not unique to Malaysia and in response to similar trends in Singapore, Novi Health has entered the chat in an attempt to address these rising concerns.

Founded in 2019 by Dr. Sue-Anne Toh, Dr. Joanne Tay, and Dr. Kyle Tan, Novi Health specialises in diabetes care and weight management, integrating clinical treatments with behavioural and lifestyle interventions, but expects to expand into health optimization and improving health longevity in the near future. In 2022, Novi Health raised $5 million in a Series A round led by Monk’s Hill Ventures to power this ambition.

Today, on Open for Business, we dive into how Dr. Sue Anne Toh and her co-founders built Novi Health, the business promise and potential, and what the path ahead looks like for this HealthTech company.
