What Health & Care does

Health & Care is a Brazilian B2B professional services firm specializing in occupational health, ergonomics, and workplace wellness for large enterprise clients. Founded around 2009 and headquartered in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, the company delivers a portfolio that includes Ergonomic Analysis of Work (AET), Preliminary Ergonomic Analysis for PGR (Programa de Gerenciamento de Riscos) and GRO (Gerenciamento de Riscos Ocupacionais) compliance, Active Ergonomic Risk Management (a managed service), Cinesioterapia Laboral (corporate physiotherapy), preventive programs (quick massage, workplace gymnastics, yoga), training and lectures, and a Home Office wellness line introduced in 2020. The company positions its value proposition around compliance with Brazilian regulatory standards (NR-01, NR-17), absenteeism reduction, productivity gains, and FAP (Fator Acidentário de Prevenção) tax optimization.

The technical backbone of the firm is Hergon, a proprietary web-based platform (HergonApp, marketed separately at hergon.com.br) that inventories, maps, and tracks occupational ergonomic risks in real time and supports dynamic action-plan management, priority matrices, evidence reports, and audit trails. Hergon is described as a core operating subsidiary of Health & Care and is positioned as both an internal delivery tool and a standalone product.

Health & Care generates revenue primarily through professional services engagements (ergonomic consulting, on-site wellness programs, training) sold directly to enterprise clients, with quote-based pricing tailored per engagement. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by a content-led inbound motion (blog, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, WhatsApp). The disclosed client base includes Gerdau, Renner, John Deere, Heineken, Unimed, Banrisul, Johnson Controls, BauschLomb, Edenred, Parker, DLL, Savarauto, Umbler, Kinghost, Jackwall, and SLC, spanning manufacturing, retail, agriculture, banking, beverage, healthcare, automotive, and technology. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, headcount of 11-50, and is LGPD-compliant.

Broad incumbents

• Bureau Veritas: Global TIC (Testing, Inspection, Certification) giant with a broad EHS consulting practice including occupational health, ergonomics, and workplace risk services across Brazil. Comparable as a competing provider of certified occupational health and compliance services to large enterprises, though Bureau Veritas operates a much wider portfolio.
• SGS: Swiss-based global TIC firm with occupational health, ergonomics, and industrial hygiene consulting lines serving multinational manufacturers and consumer brands. Comparable as a full-stack EHS and occupational health services provider; Health & Care competes for the same enterprise ergo-compliance RFPs at smaller scale.
• TÜV Rheinland: German testing/certification and EHS consulting firm with occupational safety, ergonomics, and workplace wellness services to enterprise clients across Latin America. Comparable as an established credentialed provider of occupational health compliance and risk management services to large industrial clients.
• DNV: Norwegian-headquartered risk management and certification company with occupational health and safety advisory practices, including ergonomics and management-system consulting. Comparable as a global EHS/risk advisory incumbent pursuing similar enterprise compliance and workforce well-being engagements.
• Intertek: Global TIC and assurance provider with occupational health, ergonomics, and workplace safety services delivered through its Industry & Assurance segment. Comparable as an incumbent competitor in enterprise occupational health and EHS compliance services, with broader service breadth than Health & Care.

Emerging players

• VelocityEHS: North-American EHS software platform with dedicated modules for ergonomics, industrial hygiene, and occupational risk management — a direct software analogue to Health & Care's Hergon product. Comparable as a technology-first peer whose SaaS model scales without proportional consulting headcount.
• Cority: Enterprise EHS and occupational health software platform with ergonomic risk assessment, industrial hygiene, and health surveillance modules. Comparable as a software peer positioning in the same ergonomic + occupational health workflow that Hergon serves, with a stronger global enterprise footprint.
• Intelex: Established EHS and Quality management software platform with capabilities covering incident, audit, ergonomic risk, and occupational health modules. Comparable as a competing platform for the digital layer of occupational risk management that Health & Care has built via Hergon.
• Quentic: European-headquartered EHS and operational compliance SaaS platform covering occupational health, ergonomics, and risk assessment workflows. Comparable as a software peer addressing ergonomic and occupational risk management for mid-market and enterprise customers across multiple jurisdictions.
• EcoOnline: European EHS and chemical-management SaaS provider with health & safety modules relevant to occupational risk and ergonomic assessments. Comparable as a regional-scale software peer whose subscription model parallels the latent SaaS opportunity in Health & Care's Hergon platform.
