papa Health


The Papa platform offers social interaction and medical care to seniors. The platform once began as a place to connect seniors and (mostly) students in order to (virtually) combat loneliness and isolation. In addition, the so-called ‘Papa pals’ could support seniors in everyday tasks. Thanks to the platform, seniors can seek the virtual company of one of the ‘Papa pals’ whenever they need it. Today, the platform has been expanded with Papa Health, offering a holistic services package to fulfil both social and medical needs. With Papa Health, the platform now includes ‘Papa healthcare providers’. The family business recently received a multi-million investment to improve and expand their healthcare offering.
