Founded in 2016, EVEDA is building one of the world'"'"'s first fully integrated platforms of health hardware, software, solution delivery, analytics, and service solutions. Designed in Melbourne. Manufactured in Australia. Deployed across Oceania.
Healthcare systems around the world are designed around treatment, not prevention. Diagnostic pathways are fragmented, slow, and inaccessible for the communities that need them most.
EVEDA exists to change that. We built an integrated platform, device, software, patient access, and analytics, that delivers comprehensive health screening wherever care happens. From a corporate office in Sydney to a remote community in the Pacific Islands.
Our goal is not to replace the healthcare system. It is to fill the structural gaps that leave chronic disease undetected until it becomes an emergency.
Our board and advisory team brings together expertise in Indigenous health, public policy, medical innovation, law, nursing, communications, and commercial strategy.
