Salú is a digital healthcare company that provides a fast, affordable, and accessible alternative to traditional family doctors. It offers a subscription-based service with unlimited medical consultations available seven days a week in multiple languages (English, Russian, and Estonian). The platform serves expats and individuals seeking convenient healthcare access by enabling online consultations, sick leave issuance, prescription renewals, specialist referrals, and in-person appointments including lab tests. Salú addresses the problem of limited access to timely primary care and simplifies healthcare navigation, showing growth momentum as a preferred digital health solution in Estonia and beyond[3][4][5].
Founded in 1997, Salú initially focused on helping physician specialists and has evolved into a premier vertical Internet healthcare provider. The company is based in Estonia and has expanded its offerings to serve a broader patient base, including expats and those seeking alternatives to traditional healthcare models. The idea emerged from the need to make healthcare more accessible and affordable, especially for populations underserved by conventional systems. Early traction came from its ability to combine digital consultations with in-person services, creating a hybrid model that meets diverse patient needs[1][3][4].
Salú rides the growing trend of digital health and telemedicine, accelerated by increasing demand for remote healthcare solutions and the need for more accessible primary care. The timing is favorable due to rising healthcare costs, patient preference for convenience, and technological advancements enabling secure online consultations. Market forces such as the global push for digital transformation in healthcare and the increasing mobility of populations (e.g., expats) work in Salú’s favor. By bridging digital and physical healthcare, Salú influences the ecosystem by demonstrating a scalable hybrid care model that other providers may emulate[3][4][5].
Looking ahead, Salú is well-positioned to expand its reach beyond Estonia, potentially scaling its multilingual, subscription-based healthcare model to other markets with similar needs. Trends shaping its journey include the continued adoption of telehealth, integration of AI-driven diagnostics, and increasing patient demand for personalized, accessible care. Salú’s influence may grow as it sets standards for combining digital convenience with traditional healthcare quality, potentially becoming a key player in the evolving global digital health landscape[3][4]. This trajectory ties back to its founding mission of making healthcare easy and affordable, especially for underserved populations.
Salú has raised $3.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $3.0M Seed in March 2022.
