Barifix helps to improve quality of life after life-changing surgery
Barifix is a healthtech startup developing a digital care platform for bariatric surgery patients and clinics. Bariatric surgery helps people with severe obesity manage weight and related conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
Challenges in bariatric care
Poor Adherence to Post-Operation Protocols
Many patients struggle to follow diet, exercise, and medication guidelines after bariatric surgery, which can slow recovery and reduce long-term results.
Patient Engagement in the Pre-Surgical Preparation
Many patients struggle to follow pre-surgery instructions and complete required tasks, which can increase complications, cause surgery to be rescheduled, and create inefficiencies.
High Cost of Post-Surgery Visits
Bariatric patients who are unprepared or misinformed frequently return to the emergency department (ED), driving up costs
Our collaboration
Barifix came to us to create a digital solution for bariatric surgery, aiming to support patients throughout their entire care journey. They faced challenges such as time-to-market pressures and the difficulty of sustaining long-term patient engagement.
The goal was to build a platform that not only delivered timely, compliant solutions for clinics but also kept patients motivated and engaged over the long term.
Digital platform to support patient on every step of bariatric journey
Together with Barifix, we created a fully digital care platform for bariatric surgery that guides patients from pre-op to recovery with structured care. This solution simplifies daily workflows for clinic staff and makes managing patient care easier, allowing them to focus on delivering better outcomes.
Pre-surgical preparation
With Barifix, we built digital tools that ease pre-surgery anxiety, boost readiness, and improve adherence to medical guidance.
Continuous Patient Journey
Journey for patients from pre-surgery preparation to post-surgery recovery with education, tracking, and ongoing support.
Pre-Op Education Modules
Easy-to-understand, clinic-approved content (video and text) that explains the surgical process, risks, expectations, and preparation steps.
Medical Intake
Questionnaire to collect patient history and health data digitally, reducing errors and saving clinical time.
Post-discharge recovery & follow-up
We build both patient-facing and clinical-side of the solution to help care teams monitor progress, improve adherence, reduce readmissions, and significantly lower emergency department (ED) visits.
Daily AI-Powered Guidance
Personalized daily tips, reminders, and motivation to keep patients on track through every stage of their journey.
Chat Support with Doctors
Enables direct communication between patients and clinicians for timely advice, reducing anxiety and unnecessary visits.
Patient monitoring
Real-time tracking of patient progress and symptoms enables early detection of issues and timely clinical intervention.

Have questions?
How is Nozomi different from other product studios?
Nozomi is different because we care about outcomes, not just outputs—we design digital health products that improve patient lives, not just ship features. Unlike generic studios, we focus exclusively on healthcare, blending empathy, UX, and compliance into every solution.
Do you offer ready-made solutions?
All of our products are fully custom — tailored to your goals, audience, and regulatory context. That said, we often use pre-built components, like our Nozomi AI platform, to accelerate delivery and reduce risk.
Do you have experience with AI in healthcare?
At Nozomi we’ve been building AI-powered health solutions ranging from patient care companions and digital therapeutics to remote monitoring platforms and prevention tools. Our approach is Conversational UX, where users interact with AI not as a tool, but as a companion that guides, personalizes, and supports their health journey.
How do you price your projects?
We price projects based on scope, complexity, and regulatory needs — usually as a fixed-price discovery followed by time-and-materials or milestone-based execution. This ensures partners only pay for what creates real value while keeping flexibility for product evolution.
How do we get started?
We usually begin with a short discovery call to understand your goals and challenges, then move into a scoping workshop where we outline the product vision, priorities, and roadmap. From there, we provide a clear proposal with timelines, costs, and next steps so you can make an informed decision.
