The Oviva Method
At Oviva, our mission is to build a healthier future for all. We offer digital programmes designed to support people with weight-related conditions, including obesity, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension.
While weight loss is the main goal for many of the people we support, our approach isn’t just about the numbers on the scales – it’s about improving your health, self-confidence, and quality of life.
To this date, more than 700,000 people across Europe have benefited from Oviva’s support.
We’re here to help you reach and stick to your goals, and we’ll be with you every step of the way.
What makes us unique
Made for everyday life
Our method is designed to take the stress out of improving your health. We know life can be hectic and making healthy changes alone can feel like a challenge. Our approach is to find small, actionable steps that fit your goals and your lifestyle, and then to support you as you move forward with tools, tips, strategies and feedback to boost your chances of success. This approach prioritises compatibility with real routines over instant results, to make sure it lasts.
Thanks to our digital service, we’re available to you in every life situation: no matter where you live or what your routine looks like. With the Oviva app, you’ll have access to cutting-edge technology that is easy to use and always in your pocket.
Weight loss that lasts
At Oviva, we emphasise a sustainable, holistic approach that gradually improves eating and movement habits through achievable, stepped changes – for lasting results – and avoid short-term, restrictive diets.
We promote healthy and conscious eating without the stress of calorie counting, instead giving you guidance on the quality of what you’re eating when, and how much. You’ll discover an approach to balanced eating that will last you a lifetime.
Quality care at little or no cost to you
We believe that better health should be accessible to everyone who needs it. That’s why most of our programmes are covered or reimbursed by health services, ensuring that cost doesn’t prevent you from receiving the support you need.
Your health, your choice
We believe that your approach to better health should be as unique as you are. That’s why we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution. With Oviva, we guide you to find and implement the approach that suits your lifestyle, body, preferences, and needs. This may include specialised solutions, such as the supported use of weight loss medication.
Rooted in science – proven to work
Our programmes have been clinically proven to help many participants achieve significant weight loss. On average, people who take part in our programmes lose 6.55 kg at 12 months.
We develop our programmes based on national guidance, and we also prove their effectiveness by running our own clinical trials.
How we do it: Our method
In order to reach your health goals, Oviva leads you through a stepped approach to behaviour change, delivered through an engaging app, structured content and support from our coaches. Our method is designed to empower you with the tools and knowledge to take actions that improve your health, self-confidence, and quality of life.
1) Understanding and changing your behaviours
The key to losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight is understanding your behaviours and making small, manageable changes to your lifestyle that help you develop healthier habits.
By tracking your food and drinks, daily activities, and symptoms in the Oviva app, you can reflect on your choices and make healthy changes. You’ll also receive instant feedback on the quality and quantity of your meals and snacks in the app, which will help you understand and practice balanced eating.
We will start by suggesting small and actionable goals and later empower you to set and track your own goals – each designed to build habits around what you eat, moving more, and improving your wellbeing. These small steps give you direction and keep you motivated and focused. They’re also designed to evolve with you: you’ll set and adjust your targets based on your progress, and your insights into what works for you.
2) Actionable advice
Many of our participants are already familiar with the theory behind losing weight. We’ll provide you with practical advice for putting that theory into action, as well as tips and strategies in case you get stuck.
Our evidence-based content spans topics on food, movement, and forming new habits, as well as managing stress and sleep. Our in-house psychologists develop advice to help you build a healthier relationship with food, tackle any emotional factors behind your lifestyle choices, and improve your mental health.
3) Support from a caring team
We understand that change can be hard. Our experienced healthcare team of more than 250 coaches are here to guide you and help you navigate challenges – whether you’re just starting out or maintaining new-found habits.
You will have access to a team of experts through the Oviva app, providing timely and helpful chat responses to your questions and challenges.
Our coaches are there to empower you by giving you the tools and knowledge to take action on your own – opening the door to a healthier future, so you can walk through it.
