MediLux

What MediLux does

MediLux (legal entity TerveysProfiili Oy) is a 100% Finnish-owned, Valvira- and Kela-approved digital clinic operating under the brand "MediLux Digiklinikka" and founded by chief physician Rishat Jarullin. The company provides remote medical consultations to Finnish residents through a browser-based telehealth platform (chat.medilux.fi) that supports chat, video, and phone consultations, plus in-person home doctor visits limited to Helsinki, Espoo, and Vantaa. Its product portfolio is organized around four main service lines: (1) general remote consultations including doctor chat (€8), video/phone (€27), and prescription renewal (€18); (2) men's and women's health modules for sensitive conditions delivered via fully async (no live contact) questionnaire-and-Kanta-record evaluations — erectile dysfunction, hair loss, premature ejaculation, and urinary tract infection; (3) a structured weight management program with prescriptions for GLP-1 medications and a bundled nutrition/exercise coaching partnership with Avara Health; and (4) administrative medical certificates covering sick leave, driver's licenses, B/C statements, and free-form certificates, with vision examinations routed through partner optician chains.

The platform's underlying technology integrates with Finland's national Kanta health information system, allowing physicians to access patient medical history and issue electronic prescriptions (e-resepti) stored in Kanta/Omakanta, with strong identity verification via Finnish bank credentials. The platform has no dedicated mobile app and operates as a self-serve, pay-per-encounter product with no subscription model. Pricing ranges from €0 out-of-pocket (after Kela reimbursement for qualifying chat consultations) to €300 for a home visit, with most services priced between €18 and €80. The GTM motion is product-led growth: organic Finnish-language SEO, Trustindex-verified Google reviews (1,132 reviews, 4.9/5.0), and patient testimonials, with no paid acquisition channels documented.

MediLux is privately held, founder-owned with no disclosed external funding or institutional investors, and operates with a small team (11–50 employees, with only three named staff: the chief physician, an IT specialist, and a finance lead). The company was registered in the Soteri healthcare provider registry on 12 June 2025 and serves customers exclusively in Finland.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• Min Doktor: Swedish digital healthcare app offering remote consultations and prescriptions with public reimbursement, closely comparable to MediLux's Kela-reimbursed telehealth model but in a neighboring Nordic market.
• Kry / Livi: Nordic-founded digital-first healthcare provider offering app/web-based doctor consultations across Sweden and Europe; directly comparable telehealth model but operates primarily outside Finland and at far greater scale.

Emerging players

• Eucalyptus: Australian operator of multiple DTC telehealth brands for weight (GLP-1), men's and women's health using async medical evaluation — same condition-specific digital clinic playbook as MediLux.

Direct peers

• Manual: UK men's-health and wellness digital clinic covering ED, hair loss and weight management via online consultation and delivery, overlapping strongly with MediLux's core condition set.
• Ro: US direct-to-consumer telehealth company offering condition-specific Rx programs for men's health, weight management and more via online intake — closely mirrors MediLux's condition-based digital clinic approach.
• Numan: UK men's-health-focused digital clinic prescribing for ED, hair loss and weight loss through online evaluations, matching MediLux's async men's-health and weight-loss offering.
• Zava: European online doctor service (UK/Germany) delivering remote consultations, prescriptions and treatment for sensitive conditions, directly analogous to MediLux's async prescription clinic model.
• Hims & Hers: DTC digital clinic centered on stigmatized conditions (ED, hair loss, weight loss/GLP-1) with async prescribing and pharmacy fulfilment — nearly identical product focus and business model to MediLux, in the US market.

Broad incumbents

• Terveystalo: Finland's largest private healthcare provider offering both clinic and digital/remote consultation services nationwide; competes for the same Finnish telehealth patients but as part of a much wider care portfolio.
• Mehiläinen Digiklinikka: Large Finnish healthcare group with a digital clinic offering remote consultations and e-prescriptions to Finnish patients; the founder previously practiced there, making it a direct domestic competitor with far broader physical infrastructure.
