Sidekick Health is a Reykjavik- and Boston-based digital therapeutics company that builds disease-specific care programs delivered through a mobile app, combining behavior-change design, gamification, AI-driven personalization, and clinician oversight to help patients manage chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular risk, and certain cancers. Its programs are sold primarily to pharma companies, payers, and health systems that wrap them around drug therapy or chronic-care pathways, and the company has signed deals with several top-20 pharmaceutical manufacturers to run companion digital programs in multiple therapeutic areas.
Founded by two Icelandic physicians, Sidekick is one of the most internationally visible examples of Icelandic health-tech, and together with Kerecis it shows that the country's life-sciences output extends from physical regenerative materials into software-as-medicine.
