Meet On The Mend
We put the patient at the centre
On The Mend enables the delivery of tailored care, encouraging shared decision-making between patients and healthcare professionals at a system-wide level.
Our ability to capture key patient outcomes provides us with rich datasets capable of informing system design with the aim of generating measurable improvements to care pathways through the chain.
Our Story
“My own experience with knee surgery was daunting and lonely. I kept forgetting how to do my exercises, quickly lost motivation, and didn’t have anyone like me to share the experience. I started On The Mend to help people take control of their health condition.”
--Wesley Fogel, Co-founder & CEO, On The Mend
We Support Ukraine
On The Mend stands firmly with the people of Ukraine and remains deeply proud of our collaboration with our Ukraine-based software development partners. Despite prolonged conflict, ongoing security risks, and daily uncertainty, our colleagues continue to work with extraordinary professionalism, resilience, and integrity. Their contribution is fundamental to our success, and our partnership is built on mutual trust, respect, and long-term commitment.
As the war continues into its fourth year, the impact on Ukrainian civilians remains severe. Millions have been displaced, infrastructure has been repeatedly damaged, and access to energy, healthcare, and essential services remains fragile, particularly during winter periods and amid continued attacks on critical systems. International support, including that of the United Kingdom, remains vital, both in sustaining Ukraine’s defence and in addressing the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
We recognise that recovery and rebuilding will be a long process. In line with evolving humanitarian response plans and reconstruction efforts, we remain committed not only to supporting our Ukrainian partners professionally, but also to standing in solidarity with them as people. This commitment reflects our belief that ethical collaboration means staying engaged during the hardest moments, not just the easiest ones.
We will continue to work with, support, and amplify the voices of our Ukrainian colleagues as they persevere with courage and determination through extraordinarily challenging times.
