Offers exist but are not found
Exercise programmes, nutrition courses and advice services are scattered across flyers and unknown websites. People who need them do not find them in everyday life.
For health insurers and health promotion
Health promotion in neighbourhoods. Measurably effective.
Close supports health insurers and health promotion partners in anchoring primary prevention in everyday settings. Existing offers become discoverable, participation becomes easy to access and impact becomes measurable.
GDPR compliant · Impact evidence for funders · Neighbourhood activation measurable · Community health infrastructure
The problem
The offer is rarely the problem. Access is.
Impact is hard to evidence
Health insurers need usage evidence and activation data for prevention reporting. This data is missing or costly to collect manually.
Socially disadvantaged groups are not reached
Classic prevention programmes often reach people with high health awareness. People in difficult circumstances are left out.
Coordination between actors is fragmented
Welfare providers, sports clubs, municipalities and insurers work alongside each other rather than together. A shared infrastructure is missing.
Solution
Close creates the digital bridge between everyday life and health offers.
The platform makes prevention discoverable, participatory and measurable in people's daily lives, not in administrative systems.
Make health offers in the neighbourhood visible
Exercise, nutrition, relaxation and social offers are discoverable in a shared local infrastructure, easy to access for everyone.
Enable participation without barriers
Residents find offers via web or app without mandatory registration reachable offline via QR codes and local partners.
Activation signals for prevention reports
Aggregated usage data gives health insurers the impact evidence needed for prevention funding reports and evaluations.
Neighbourhood coordination for health partners
Health kiosks, providers and municipal actors manage offers through a shared partner workspace without duplicating effort.
Impact monitoring for ongoing programmes
Close measures aggregated activation signals not individuals: participation, recurring use, offer reach and social connection.

FAQ
Common questions.
How does Close support community based prevention requirements?
Close is designed as digital infrastructure that makes community health promotion visible and measurable. The specific funding eligibility depends on programme design and the insurer framework. We are happy to discuss this in a first conversation.
What data does Close collect?
Close does not collect personal behavioural data. All signals are aggregated and anonymised: participation per offer, activation level per neighbourhood, offer reach. No individual profiles, no tracking at person level.
Can Close be combined with existing health programmes?
Yes. Close is designed as a complement to existing prevention programmes, health kiosks and provider structures not as a replacement.
How is Close funded?
Close pilots in the health context are typically funded through health insurers, prevention funds or grant programmes. We clarify the right model together.
Who can become a partner on the platform?
Health kiosks, sports clubs, welfare providers, municipal facilities and other local health actors can set up free partner profiles.
