Women over forty deserve to feel fantastic
We are on a mission
Each year, 47 million women worldwide enter menopause without access to the healthcare solution they need to thrive. We understand because we have been there ourselves. That's why we founded Evela Health – to provide evidence-based, holistic solutions powered by technology.
Why menopause?
We focus on menopause because women spend nearly half their lives in menopause and beyond. Yet it remains one of the most overlooked areas in healthcare. With the right support and knowledge, every woman can thrive and embrace healthy aging. We aim to be the trusted companion helping women make it happen.
We are a team of medical experts, scientists and tech enthusiasts
We work with an interdisciplinary network of medical doctors as well as experts in mental health, nutrition, and exercise.
We combine expertise and experience
Dr. Valerie Kirchberger
Co-CEO and Founder
During my many years of working in healthcare, I’ve witnessed firsthand how a generalized approach often leaves healthcare and prevention ineffective and frustrating for all involved. In my work implementing value-based healthcare, I have seen the power of data and of digital tools to transform complex health systems and improve outcomes. I have also seen women's healthcare - especially in their post-reproductive years - massively underserved and lacking data-driven, holistic and personalized services.
This inspired me to co-found Evela Health, where we are on a mission to bring truly personalized, data-driven care to women navigating menopause transition and healthy aging. At Evela Health, we’re shaping a new future for women in menopause, where care is intelligent, personalized, and proactive. Traditional healthcare models have left women underserved, but we see a tremendous opportunity to fill that void with data-driven insights and technology.
Serving as Co-CEO together with Eva, I believe we’re not just building a company; we’re building a movement for change that puts women’s health front and center, creating a healthcare model that isn’t simply reactive but redefines how we support women’s health needs at every stage. Together, we’re challenging outdated norms, knowing that meaningful change requires more than incremental improvements—it demands visionary leadership and bold action.

Eva-Maria Meijnen
Co-CEO and Founder
I am an industrial engineer by training and tech-enthusiast at heart. After 15 years I quit my corporate career to run my own med-tech company because I believed in the transformative power of digitalization, data, and technology to revolutionize healthcare, making superior medical solutions accessible and impacting millions of lives.
My personal journey into menopause began at 39, when I unexpectedly entered early menopause. Faced with minimal information and vague advice to simply 'reduce stress,' I endured sleepless nights, concentration issues, and unpredictable mood swings. Through extensive personal research, I was able to fully reclaim my vitality and joy in both my professional and personal life.
Millions of women suffer unnecessarily up to 15 years in silence from the hormonal transition. Even though there are evidence-based solutions not only to immediately restore vitality but also to set a great foundation for healthy aging.
Evela Health was born from a vision where women over 40 not get through the day, but thrive and become the best versions of themselves—living healthy, joyful lives. At Evela, we go beyond treating symptoms; we empower women to lead vibrant lives through data-driven health solutions.

PD Dr. Cornelius Remschmidt
Chief Science Officer
With a background in internal medicine and public health, my journey has been driven by a passion for big data and a commitment to bridging the healthcare gap in women's health. After over a decade in clinical practice, I transitioned to research, working at institutions like University Hospital Zurich, Robert-Koch Institute and Charité Berlin, and serving as Chief Medical Officer at Data4Life, where I led initiatives that solidified my dedication to health tech.
I’ve seen how the standard ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, based largely on male-centered data, leaves women, especially those in menopause, underserved and without tailored support. This gap fuels my commitment at Evela Health to redefine women’s healthcare using real-world data from wearables and advanced analytics, creating a new standard in personalized, evidence-based care.
As Co-Founder and Chief Scientist Officer, I am driven to make a difference – and I love doing so alongside an excellent team dedicated to this mission. Together, we’re working to transform women’s health and build a model that can set the stage for a more inclusive healthcare future.

Emilio De Lazzari
Chief Technology Officer
With a strong background in product management, web development, and business growth, I’ve spent the past 20 years helping companies build and scale digital products and teams. I’m passionate about creating smart, scalable solutions and guiding projects from the first idea to successful launch and beyond.
After founding my own software company in Italy, I’ve held leadership roles across Europe and the U.S.—from serving as CTO in residence at Finleap in Berlin to leading engineering teams at New Signature, 10Pearls, and sennder. I’ve also co-founded several ventures, including Infinitec Solutions and Tenderwise, where I currently serve as CTO.
What drives me most is building technology that truly makes a difference—solutions that simplify complex problems and help people lead better lives.

Nicole Schöngart
Wellbeing, resilience, and yoga coach
I am a fully qualified architect and project developer, but I have always had a lifelong passion for yoga. My journey has taken me around the world, from Australia to Africa, Indonesia, and Southern Europe. During the pandemic, I made the bold decision to leave the corporate world and dedicate myself fully to studying and practicing mental and physical well-being. I trained to become a professional yoga teacher, specializing in breathwork, meditation, and playing the alchemy crystal singing bowls. My epiphany came when I attended a yoga retreat in Mallorca at Cal Reiet, searching for a way to heal from long Covid. I was deeply moved by the ancient wisdom that touches all aspects of life—so essential for achieving an authentic and lasting state of well-being. Now, I love sharing my experiences and insights, helping others find their own path to sustainable well-being and true happiness.
