Andiamo

Andiamo is a digital health company that has developed a platform focused on providing personalized and coordinated care for families affected by Cerebral Palsy (CP). The company was co-founded by Samiya and Naveed Parvez in 2014, two years after their son, Diamo, who had severe CP, passed away. Their personal journey with the challenges of the healthcare system, particularly the slow and often ineffective process of obtaining custom orthotics, inspired them to create a better solution for other families.

The company's core offering has evolved from initially focusing on 3D-printed orthotics to a comprehensive digital clinic model. Andiamo utilizes a proprietary AI-driven platform, Avanti, which integrates 3D scanning, automation, and digital twin simulation to design and prescribe personalized treatments, such as Ankle-Foot Orthoses (AFOs). This technology aims to significantly reduce wait times from months to as little as one week and lower pathway costs. By creating a digital twin of the patient, the system can simulate the outcome of a prescription before the physical device is manufactured.

Andiamo's business model targets integration with health plans and children's hospitals, offering its services through value-based payment arrangements, including risk-based programs. This approach is designed to extend the reach of high-quality CP care, leading to better patient outcomes and reduced costs for payers. The company also plans to embed data sensors into its devices to record compliance and activity, providing valuable data to clinicians, families, and payers for demonstrating outcomes and supporting reimbursement. While initially focused on CP, Andiamo aims to scale its platform to serve other complex conditions within the broader disability market. The company has received funding from investors including Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator, Bethnal Green Ventures, and WeWork.
