About Kwelio

Two stories. One root problem. No data.

Kwelio was founded on two personal experiences of what happens when no one can see whether medicines are taken. Seven people, three of them full-time, are building it in Dubai.

Founded on two stories

Two experiences. One root problem. No data.

An elderly woman taking tablets with a glass of water

When my grandmother fell dangerously ill, we discovered she had been given the wrong medication and another dose had been doubled. One mistake nearly cost her life — and there was no system to catch it.

I was quoted AED 80,000 a year for health insurance because I have a chronic condition — priced for the risk of not taking my medication. That’s the exact problem Kwelio solves.

Sumi Mahmud, Co-founder and CTO
Two different stories. Same root problem.

Without adherence data, the healthcare system is guessing, and patients pay the price. We built Kwelio to change that.

The team

Seven people, three full-time, from health insurance, energy, finance, product and brand.
