About Trellus Health plc

Trellus Health is pioneering a new healthcare category called “Resilience-Driven Connected Health”. The Directors believe this approach will transform the management of chronic conditions through the GRITT™ (Gaining Resilience Through Transitions) methodology that was scientifically validated at the Mount Sinai IBD Center, one of the leading IBD treatment centres in the United States and the hospital where Crohn’s disease was first scientifically discovered by Dr. Burrill Crohn in 1932.

The Company will utilise the GRITTTM methodology to identify and modify disease interfering behaviours while coordinating and delivering multidisciplinary care via telehealth. In addition, the Company will remotely monitor clinical and behavioural factors for indicators of rising risk that may lead to expensive unplanned healthcare utilisation. The Company will initially focus on Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (“IBD”), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, one of the costliest incurable chronic diseases with a high mental health burden.
