BetterMe
health and wellness app company
BetterMe is a company founded in 2017 in Kyiv, Ukraine. The company created two apps, BetterMe: Health Coaching and BetterMe: Mental Health.
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, BetterMe began offering various services freely to Ukrainians and collaborated with the Ukrainian government and other companies to set up various initiatives to help victims of the conflict.
History and app features
The company was founded by Victoria Repa in 2017 in Kyiv. The company's first product was the BetterMe: Weight Loss Workouts app, which was later renamed to BetterMe: Health Coaching.
By 2018 the app was renamed simply to BetterMe, offering personalised fitness and diet courses to users. User numbers grew quickly, reaching 10 million downloads within its first year. The app has since become known as "BetterMe: Health Coaching". The app contains access to "over 4000 workouts", optional 1-on-1 coaching, daily personalised meal plans and progress tracking through a subscription-based model. The app also offers specialised workouts for pregnant women, older adults, and people with disabilities alongside specialised diets for those with conditions such as diabetes.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “BetterMe” as health and wellness app company. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as health and wellness app company. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q124373742. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017 and 2018.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
