My name is Eve, and I am the founder of rehealth.co.za and agentichealth.co.za. I have been in the “digital” space for 30yrs+, and in the “healthcare” space for 10yrs+. Today, I am more excited than ever by the healthcare shifts happening around the world, and especially about the increasing agency patients have over their own wellbeing.
I contribute to solutions that help South African patients lead longer, healthier lives – tools and content that co-ordinate the patients, the service providers, the medical aids and government. We also need protocols that encourage accessible, affordable and ubiquitous healthcare, and I am eager to explore all these. My focus is on overall prevention and early detection.
I think of all this as Agentic Health. The name is a deliberate double meaning. Agency, because you have to look after yourself. Agentic, because the tech can be smart enough to help you. Human and machine intelligence, aimed at the same goal: more good, healthy years. I definitely do not have it all figured out, but I do have a clear view of the problem, and the independence to look at it with a fresh pair of eyes. I’m aware that the healthcare market is fragmented, conflicted, highly regulated and expensive. But I also know it’s filled with people and companies who want to offer accessible, effective healthcare. We just need to figure out how to get this right, quickly.
rehealth is where this work started for me. It has helped over 500,000 South Africans get to grips with medical aid — comparing schemes and gap cover, finding the right doctors and facilities, and getting real value out of the cover they already pay for. It’s a helpful aide to exercising agency: making the healthcare system you fund every month actually work for you. Within Agentic Health, rehealth is the South African piece.
