ABOUT US
RENDLE has created a simple, scalable and effective way to improve the health and happiness of populations by using data analytics and metrics for lifestyle improvement. Our KPIs and predictive metrics dissect the process of behavior change from start to finish and help organizations eliminate the guesswork around wellbeing initiatives.
We believe everyone should have access to affordable and quality healthcare. But in order to achieve this aim, it is essential that we reduce the current levels of preventable chronic illness. 80% of all healthcare costs are caused by preventable conditions that could be eliminated if people knew how to lead healthier lifestyles. We educate people what they can do to meet and exceed recommended guidelines for healthy living and follow up with actionable steps for improvement. We then provide organizations with population data. The population data include analytics around behavior change and the desire and needs of the population. We analyze all aspects of lifestyle – sleep, stress management, happiness, exercise and nutrition – and look at the interplay between them.
Whether you're an insurer, government entity, nonprofit or for-profit organization, we can help you improve the health and happiness of your population in an innovative and more effective manner. As a result, you will increase your output and saves costs. Feel free to contact us for additional information.
OUR APPROACH
A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE IS KEY
RENDLE has created a proactive, analytical approach to population lifestyle management across the key areas of sleep, stress, happiness, exercise and nutrition.
WHY DO WE EXCLUSIVELY FOCUS ON LIFESTYLE?
A healthy lifestyle is crucial for preventing illness, overcoming conditions and increasing happiness, and yet it is an area that remains misunderstood and underinvested. Most organizations and governments understand the wellbeing goals they want for their populations - lower absenteeism and medical costs, happier, healthier and more productive individuals - but have not yet implemented a structured and analytical approach to drive lifestyle improvement. RENDLE provides this.
THINK OF RENDLE AS A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE GPS
We help people improve their sleep, manage their stress, understand what drives their happiness, exercise more effectively and discover ways to eat more healthily. You can think of RENDLE as a personalized GPS for healthy living. We help each individual find their own route to better health.
