Twentyeight Health operates a digital healthcare platform that provides comprehensive women's health services, including telemedicine consultations and medication delivery. The company focuses on increasing access to affordable and judgment-free care across various areas such as sexual health, skin conditions, and weight management, offering a convenient virtual pathway for prescriptions and ongoing support.

The company was founded in 2018 by Amy Fan and Bruno Van Tuykom.

The company's long-term vision is to become a holistic digital home for women's health, continuously expanding its offerings to ensure personalized and high-quality care is readily available to all, fostering better health outcomes and empowerment.

Twentyeight Health is a digital-first telemedicine platform providing accessible, affordable women's healthcare, starting with reproductive and sexual health services like contraception and expanding into weight management, skincare, and urgent care for issues like UTIs.[2][3][6] It serves underserved women, including low-income, women of color, and those in contraceptive deserts, through virtual consultations, personalized care plans, medication delivery, and insurance acceptance (most commercial and Medicaid plans), solving barriers like high costs, long waits, geographic access, and lack of culturally competent care.[1][2][3][4] With over 200,000 users across 43 states, the company demonstrates strong growth momentum via recent expansions into comprehensive women's health, GLP-1 medications, and medical-grade skincare amid rising demand.[3][8]
Twentyeight Health was co-founded by Bruno Van Tuykom (CEO), an electrical engineer and former Principal at Boston Consulting Group who spent four years at the Gates Foundation advancing family planning, HIV, and malaria access, and Amy, former GM of a DTC skincare/makeup startup, Bain consultant, and holder of degrees from Queen's University and UC Berkeley (MBA/MPH).[4] Inspired by customer-centric DTC models and global health inequities, they launched to empower women with trusted, convenient reproductive and sexual health info and services, addressing issues like high costs, contraceptive deserts, and primary care wait times.[4][8] Early traction built a direct-to-consumer platform partnering with community organizations for culturally competent care, quickly scaling to serve 200,000+ women while achieving HIPAA compliance in 30 days.[1][3]
Twentyeight Health rides the telemedicine boom and women's health tech surge, capitalizing on post-pandemic virtual care demand, GLP-1 shortages, skincare trends, and intensifying U.S. healthcare disparities (e.g., 50% of women delaying care due to cost/access).[3] Timing aligns with jeopardized social programs like Title X (serving only 4M low-income women yearly) and contraceptive deserts, positioning it to fill gaps for high unintended pregnancy rates among underserved groups via scalable digital delivery.[2] It influences the ecosystem by providing Medicaid engagement data, partnering for culturally competent care, and normalizing inclusive telehealth, challenging siloed traditional providers amid consumer shifts to convenient, equitable options.[2][3]
Twentyeight Health is poised for accelerated growth as a comprehensive women's health leader, leveraging its 200,000-user base, insurance integrations, and expansions into high-demand areas like GLP-1s and skincare to capture more market share.[3] Trends like rising health equity focus, AI-driven personalization in telehealth, and policy shifts on reproductive access will propel it, potentially through further service additions (e.g., mental health, menopause) and B2B Medicaid partnerships.[2][3] Its influence may evolve from niche reproductive care to ecosystem shaper, redefining accessible women's health and amplifying impact via tech scalability—ultimately making equitable care the standard, as its mission promises from day one.[1][3]
