Zurich, Switzerland – As of today, the Swiss company QUENTIQ AG has changed its company name to dacadoo ag. With the name change, the company has completely revised the design and styling of its online health and well-being platform (www.dacadoo.com) as well as its smartphone applications. The new company represents healthy lifestyle, well-being and the “digital rhythm of life.”
QUENTIQ AG was founded in 2010 by serial entrepreneur Peter Ohnemus. The company exited stealth mode in December 2011, going live with its first version of the online health and well-being platform. The company succeeded in attracting contracts for 85,000 paying customers in its first full year of operations in Europe in 2012.
Since founding QUENTIQ AG, customer demand has driven development of the platform from a medically-themed product to a healthy lifestyle and well-being product. Reflecting this change of focus, the company decided to change its name to dacadoo. dacadoo represents a healthy lifestyle, well-being, activity and stands for the “digital rhythm of life.” Through the integration of mobile telephony, group dynamics on social networks and building on the user-engagement principles of the gaming industry, dacadoo motivates users in a simple and fun way to develop their health and well-being with exercise and a healthy lifestyle.
