About Vako
Vako is the company behind BeatObesity and BeatRareDiseases
two AI-powered platforms built to transform how patients are supported, engaged, and retained across chronic and rare conditions. We design each solution with input from patients, advocacy groups, and healthcare professionals. Our goal is to make care more personal, continuous, and effective — especially in areas where support has been historically fragmented or hard to access
Our Flagship Solutions.
Each platform is designed around a single goal — helping patients stay informed, supported, and connected.
