Norwegian Health-Tech Launches to Target Fibromyalgia, a $700B+ Productivity Crisis

Helfi announces its international launch of a digital app targeting one of the largest & most overlooked drivers of economic and healthcare costs: chronic pain.

This is not just a personal health issue; it’s a societal and economic crisis. The healthcare system is overburdened. Our goal with Helfi is to reduce disability rates by giving patients control.”

— Elsa Braadland, CEO for Helfi

NY, UNITED STATES — Fibromyalgia, a condition affecting millions, is a leading cause of disability. It contributes to a “systemic void” in healthcare, where “crushing access issues” and long wait times lead to poor outcomes. The economic impact is staggering, with chronic pain costing the US alone an estimated $722.8 billion annually in medical bills and lost productivity.

Helfi is a clinically vetted digital tool designed to bridge this void. It empowers patients to manage their condition, providing a path to improved function and a stated goal of helping users stay in work.
“This is not just a personal health issue; it’s a societal and economic crisis,” said Elsa Braadland, CEO of Helfi. “The healthcare system is overburdened. Helfi provides a scalable, data-driven tool that empowers the patient, makes the clinician’s job more efficient, and gives employers a tool to support their staff. Our goal is to reduce disability rates by giving patients control.”

Developed in Norway, Helfi moves beyond simple tracking. It uses an insight engine, co-developed with pain specialists, to find correlations between lifestyle factors (sleep, stress, activity) and pain flare-ups. This provides both the patient and their GP with objective data to inform treatment plans.

Helfi is available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
