Altius, a company that uses AI to improve well-being, is led by Timothy State and David Hoke, who previously worked at Humana and Walmart. They have announced a long-term exclusive partnership with Syd Life AI, a UK-based company that develops preventive health technologies. Through this partnership, Altius will introduce Syd Life AI’s personalized AI model to the United States, making its preventive health and life quality tools available solely through Altius. Syd Life AI’s solutions are already used in 26 countries, and this collaboration aims to shift the focus of American employers and healthcare systems from treating illness to preventing it.

Lorena Puica, founder and CEO of Syd Life AI, said the partnership helps achieve their common goal of changing healthcare by using AI and scientific research to prevent diseases. She noted that the technology can help Americans stay healthier, lower healthcare costs for employers, and save healthcare systems hundreds of billions on preventable expenses. The U.S. spends about $4.5 trillion annually on healthcare, mostly on preventable chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and mental health issues. About 60% of Americans now live with chronic illnesses and need long-term medication, and this partnership supports federal and state efforts to reduce chronic disease through prevention.

Through Altius, organizations will get access to the first enterprise-level preventive health platform that includes several key features. One of these is Alti, a private AI wellbeing companion available on iOS and Android in December 2025, designed to help individuals lower health risks and improve their overall quality of life. The platform also offers predictive analytics for employers to understand workforce health, cut down burnout, boost employee retention, and lower healthcare costs. Additional features include access to genetic and lifestyle analysis for more advanced preventive care, as well as AI-powered human advisors to support population health and resource management strategies.
Timothy State, founder and CEO of Altius, said the partnership allows organizations to rethink how they support human potential. By combining Syd Life AI’s scientifically tested technology with Altius’ platform and knowledge of the U.S. market, employers and healthcare companies can use preventive care as a strategic advantage, improving quality of life while achieving real returns on investment. Syd Life AI was founded in 2015 by Lorena Puica, who moved from investment strategy to AI and data science after facing personal health challenges. She created a platform that turns peer-reviewed health research into practical, personalized advice, helping organizations spot health risks early and improve long-term life quality for employees.
The platform is powered by the Life Quality Index, a scientific measure based on 1.2 million peer-reviewed studies and validated with researchers from Stanford, Oxford, and Toronto. It looks at over 750 indicators across nine dimensions of well-being, translating complex research into useful insights. Clinical trials with the UK National Health Service showed that Syd Life AI can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression by 12 to 16 percent in just three months and generate up to 25 times ROI for organizations through better employee health and productivity. The platform’s proprietary 70-billion-parameter large language model analyzes 8.3 billion years of health data, placing it among the world’s most advanced preventive health systems. Privacy and security are a top priority, with compliance to HIPAA, SOC2, and ISO standards.
