The Problem
How did health become so hard and out of reach?
Health has become reactive.
On average, Canadians experience nearly a decade of life with disability or reduced quality of life due to conditions that are largely preventable. We have the science and tools to change this trajectory—yet our healthcare system remains oriented toward treating disease after it appears rather than preventing it in the first place.
Health has lost its humanity.
Nearly 6 million Canadians do not have access to a family doctor, nurse practitioner or care team. People often feel rushed, unseen and unheard.
Health has lost its clarity.
From TikTok trends to supplement fear-mongering, the conversation’s been hijacked. Canadians deserve a clear, credible, evidence-informed voice they can trust.
We are wired for possibility, born to make leaps. We ask why and why not, we choose to change life as we know it. So we ask ourselves now, what should health become?
Enter NiaHealth:
The human health practice
Our Burning Belief
Things are different here. We’re a Nurse Practitioner designed experience, fluent in both people and medicine. We take more than blood, we take human histories. Identifying the markers that matter, giving people the insight and foresight that changes today and tomorrow.
Co-creating health, for life. Maybe someday we’ll be perfect specimens who never age, but health isn’t cheating death. It’s a daily practice that each and all of us do everyday.
So as clinicians and technologists, we choose to build health esteem, and with it a state of health. That’s a placard worth waving. As much as we know already, we’re dying to discover what happens when humans are at the heart of health. Because that’s when anything is humanly possible.
Our Answer
Real humans, real guidance
Every member gets hyper-personalized care from a Canadian clinician—turning your data into clear, doable actions that actually work.
Science that serves real life
We fight against unrealistic ideals in health. No guilt trips. No extreme routines. Just evidence-backed, habit-based protocols that fit your lifestyle and move the needle for real.
Progress that compounds
Health isn’t a one-time test—it’s a long-term strategy for life. We plan our finances and our wills; why not our health?
The story behind NiaHealth—and why we built it for you
Before NiaHealth, Sameer Dhar (CEO) founded his first health tech startup focused on modern medical devices for senior care homes—and spent an entire year living in those homes to better understand what aging in Canada really looks like.
What he saw was a wake-up call—a system stretched thin, people suffering unnecessarily, and a future none of us want.
His mission now is clear: keep Canadians out of senior care homes altogether—helping people live with vitality, not dependency.
Our co-founders
Together, they’re reimagining what healthcare can be—science with heart, care with clarity, and prevention that works. NiaHealth. A daily health practice that explores what’s humanly possible.
Sameer Dhar
I started my first health-tech company in elderly care and saw how too many Canadians spend their final years—suffering, waiting, forgotten.
It changed me. I built NiaHealth so fewer people end up there. Real science, real care, and a clear plan to live better for longer.
