Onnikka, devel­oped by Oulu-based Onnikka Health, is a smart­phone-opti­mized pro­gram to sup­port behav­ioral and lifestyle change man­age­ment. The pro­gram has been proven to help over­weight and obese peo­ple change their atti­tudes, thoughts, and behav­iors in a health­i­er direc­tion. Exten­sive clin­i­cal stud­ies have shown that it results in sus­tained weight loss. The Onnikka solu­tion includes the Onnikka appli­ca­tion for end-users, cus­tomer train­ing, sup­port, and month­ly sta­tis­tics and usage reports.

The company’s first cus­tomer in Nor­way is ViGØR Reha­bili­ter­ing Syke­hus.

‘We are con­tin­u­ous­ly devel­op­ing our reha­bil­i­ta­tion ser­vices. As part of our inno­va­tion pro­gram, we were look­ing for an evi­dence-based lifestyle inter­ven­tion appli­ca­tion that could sup­port our patient’s reha­bil­i­ta­tion process­es. We found Onnikka and were impressed with the sci­en­tif­ic approach to their method. We were also hap­py to pro­vide our exper­tise in local­iz­ing the appli­ca­tion to Nor­way. We believe that now we have an excel­lent ser­vice port­fo­lio for our cus­tomers, Onnikka being one of the ser­vices’, com­ment­ed Syn­nøve Føn­nebø Knut­sen, MD and Chair­woman of ViGØR.
