Company overview

Heads Up Health unifies labs, wearables, and device data into one longitudinal dashboard, and its integration breadth in functional medicine is the best in this group: Apple Health, Oura, Dexcom, Whoop, InBody, and a deep lab bench. We share almost exactly the same buyer. The difference is the mechanic. They watch, and we conduct. Their model asks the patient to install a companion app and keep feeding it data. Ours asks the patient to read a text.

Who each is built for

Heads Up Health

Concierge, longevity, naturopathic, and functional medicine practices tracking outcomes
The strongest lab and wearable integration bench in this segment
The patient surface is a companion app they install and feed

Helose

Exactly the same practices, approached from the conversation rather than the chart
No app download for check-ins. Text first; Patient Store opens from the link for reorders
Reorders run in that same thread, which a dashboard cannot do

What patients get

Clinic branded contact card (your name and logo in the thread, not a rented short code)
Blue bubbles on iPhone, SMS everywhere else. No app or new account
Short Habit check-ins answerable from the lock screen
Reorder link in the same conversation when supply runs low. Your clinic fulfills and collects payment
White-labeled to your subdomain

What staff get

See how patients are doing while Habit runs
Choose your Habit texts once. Helose sends them on your schedule
Not an EHR. Nothing to migrate and no chart to maintain
Pay only for patients actually texted

The bottom line

Want patients maintaining a dashboard → Heads Up Health.Want patients who actually reply between visits → Helose.

Frequently asked questions

Do we still need a data dashboard?

If your practice runs on longitudinal tracking, keep one. Helose is the contact layer: it runs the protocol between visits and hands your team a short summary before the patient comes back.

Can we use both?

Yes, and it is a reasonable pairing. They hold the data, we handle the between-visit contact that gets patients to actually do the protocol.

Do patients need to install anything for Helose?

No app download for check-ins. Messages arrive as iMessage on iPhone and SMS everywhere else. Reorders open Patient Store from the link in the same thread.
