Culture

Kos Inc. derives its name from that of third largest island of the Dodecanese and its healthcare mission is inspired by Hippocrates of Kos (c. 460 – c. 370 BC), a Greek physician who is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is traditionally referred to as the “Father of Medicine” in recognition of his lasting contributions to the field, including the use of prognosis and clinical observation, the systematic categorization of diseases.

Kos Inc., or simply Kos, approaches the modern challenges of health and wellness, including quality of care and cost, by leveraging information technology, smart devices, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to bring health and wellness practice into the home and our daily activities. Our product observes and monitors our health continuously and informs our decisions and the care of our healthcare professionals. It contextualizes this information to help us, and our care givers, to better understand how health and disease express themselves and are experienced in our daily lives.

Kos views health and wellness outcomes in a multidimensional way, including dimensions of patient experience, treatment strategy and treatment efficiencies. These dimensions can be viewed as an array of treatment goals, states and actions, called the Kos Health and Wellness “Cube.” Patient activity, symptom monitoring and analytics are integrated. Through the combination of wearable monitoring technology and AI/ML-enabled analysis in the context of daily activities, Kos enables its users to optimize outcomes against treatment and treatment costs.

Kos Health and Wellness ‘Cube’
Kos, through the products it offers, is committed to improving healthcare outcomes and patient experience, growing the collaboration between us and our care givers, and decreasing the cost of health and wellness to all healthcare stakeholders.
