ELANZA Wellness

ELANZA Wellness is a digital health company focused on endometriosis and reproductive health. Its current consumer product sends users one short therapeutic practice each morning by email - breathwork, rest, gentle movement or a cognitive reframe - typically taking under three minutes, with a companion mobile app where the AI component operates more fully. The system is designed to learn which practices help an individual user and to surface more of those over time, positioning itself as a companion rather than a symptom tracker.

Content spans pelvic physiotherapy, nervous-system and breathing practices, pain science, CBT-informed exercises for difficult days, gentle movement classes and nutrition guidance, presented as an adjunct to, rather than a replacement for, clinical care. The company frames endometriosis as affecting sleep, sex, work, mood, relationships and finances, and aims to consolidate modalities that are otherwise split across paywalls, waitlists and specialist referrals. ELANZA also publishes an educational blog (ELANZINE) covering topics such as endometriosis diagnosis and biopsy, thoracic and ocular endometriosis, endometriosis and autoimmune disorders, mental health, sexual health, and distinctions between endometriosis, PCOS and adenomyosis.

An earlier and related offering provided personalized coaching: members met board-certified coaches by video through the ELANZA platform to work on stress management, resilience and decision-making around fertility, family and reproductive health. The company reports outcomes from that program including a 17% reduction in stress on the PSS10 scale after four to six sessions.

Business model

ELANZA operates a direct-to-consumer digital health service. Users sign up with an email address at no cost and receive a daily therapeutic practice by email, with a fuller app experience available from there. Historically the company also offered one-to-one video coaching sessions with board-certified coaches delivered through the ELANZA platform. An affiliated non-profit arm, ELANZA for Good, funds free or discounted access to ELANZA's services for endometriosis patients using individual and corporate donations.

aVenture classifies ELANZA's revenue as recurring SaaS software; the consumer product is offered with a free entry point, and coaching sessions and other services can also be subsidized or made free through the ELANZA for Good donor-funded program.

Traction

aVenture reports 30 employees as of February 2024 and total funding of $435,000 as of March 2021. From its coaching program, the company reports a 17% reduction in PSS10 stress scores after four to six sessions, 93% of participants feeling clearer and more confident about their fertility journey, and 100% of members saying they would be likely or very likely to recommend the service.

Latest developments

The company's consumer-facing product centers on a daily email practice for people with endometriosis, with an AI-supported mobile app available to users who begin with the email program.
