Ignilife

Ignilife provides a digital health platform centered on prevention, available on both computers and mobile devices. The company was founded in 2013 by Fabrice Pakin (CEO) and David Bessoudo, and is based in Valbonne, France. The platform utilizes an AI-based prediction and recommendation engine to offer users personalized health programs based on an initial evaluation. These programs, developed with medical expert insight, guide users in four main areas: preventive medicine, nutrition, physical activity, and emotional health.

The company's business model targets health insurers, large corporations, and health networks, providing them with a turnkey wellness coaching platform for their members, employees, and patients. This solution aims to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and illnesses by promoting lasting behavioral changes. To foster user engagement and motivation, Ignilife incorporates social networking and gamification features. Key differentiators include a methodology that considers the social, physical, and psychological aspects of users, scientifically validated content, and integrated healthcare concierge services.

In 2016, Ignilife secured major clients in France and Switzerland, including Malakoff Médéric and Groupe Mutuel, providing access to three million insurance holders. That same year, Malakoff Médéric invested €1.4 million in the company. Ignilife has also participated in accelerator programs like Europe4StartUps and the EIT Digital Accelerator to support its European expansion.
