“Nexus is creating a global movement in the health and wellness space. Our approach is inclusive, and we empower our users to change the way they think about their wellbeing on a bespoke basis.
We have shifted from treating people once they fall sick to providing a personalised, proactive, and prevention-based digital platform that enables users to take control of their wellbeing and
live a healthy, happy lifestyle.”
Mona Hayat, Founder & CEO, Nexus Digital Technology
Executive Summary
Nexus is a digital platform that educates and empowers users to take control of their health and wellbeing. Through the Nexus app and web-based platform, the company digitally connects users with health and wellbeing coaches, telemental health support, lifestyle activities, educational tools, and valuable resources that enable them to make informed decisions.
The platform tracks users’ progress by aggregating data and information (via wearables) to inspire lifelong behaviour change.
Nexus is not a clinical platform, nor does it seek to disrupt the medical sector. It significantly complements medical services by focusing on proactive initiatives and early intervention that ultimately benefits its users.

The asset class where the market has no vote
Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
Reinventing the Condom: How an Australian Deep-Tech Startup Plans to Disrupt a $12 Billion Market
For more than half a century, the global condom industry has remained fundamentally unchanged, constrained by standard materials like latex and solid synthetic polymers. Despite widespread consumer demand for better alternatives, product design has treated the device strictly as a mechanical barrier, sacrificing feel for function. Sydney-based Eudaemon Technologies is setting out to upend that […]
