Our Purpose

Better Lives through
Digital Empathy™.

Tickit Health was born from critical communication gaps in healthcare and has evolved to deliver on the principles of Digital Empathy to all people. Through Digital Empathy, organizational performance and outcomes improve.

Our Company - Tickit Health

Our Mission

Positively impact more than 1 million lives by 2024

We believe this Mission is based on a more empathetic approach to communication; applying Digital Empathy to an organization’s support for populations of people is a key part of that.

For an organization to effectively respond to the needs of its populations, it needs to know each individual’s unique needs. This can be challenging, particularly when the information necessary to support an individual may be stigmatizing.

Digitally Empathetic tools engender trust with individuals, enabling them to disclose maximum information with greater honesty.

Using real-time reporting and person-centric resources in a single digital platform, Tickit not only holds the capacity to better capture the information but also empowers organizations to identify and support each individual, effectively.
