We're on a mission to make good health last a lifetime. More than 1 billion people live with obesity worldwide, driving preventable chronic conditions. We're here to build better long‐term care.
Euc is the company behind Juniper, one of the world's largest weight‐management programs that combines GLP‐1 medication with personalised nutrition, movement support, and clinician‐led care from prescribers, nurses, health coaches, pharmacists, and dietitians. Our published clinical research shows that our combined clinical and behavioural approach helps patients lose significantly more weight during their treatment with Juniper by four times.
About Eucalyptus
Founded in Australia in 2019, Eucalyptus (or 'Euc' for short) is a digital healthcare company tackling chronic conditions such as weight loss, diabetes, and mental health. We have helped over 500 K patients globally by combining technology, design, and operational excellence to help patients access the best clinical support whenever they need it.
