Product

Di & Care builds prescription treatment apps for sleep and mental health. Noxxea, its first product, treats chronic insomnia in adults. It targets the gap between the therapy guidance recommends and what a family doctor can deliver.

Noxxea has been available on prescription since November 2025. The company reports more than 1,000 prescribed patients in 2026 and first study results.

Chronic insomnia treated by a family doctor

Most chronic insomnia is handled by a family doctor rather than in a sleep center. Those doctors can write a prescription for a sleeping pill or refer to a specialist. Noxxea gives them a third option they can issue in the same visit.

A four-week program that needs no therapist appointment

Noxxea delivers the same protocol a specialist would use, without needing the specialist's time. Four guided sessions and short videos take the patient through it. Di & Care states that eight algorithms adapt the content to what each patient records about their own sleep.

Its own prescribing platform for doctors

Every course starts with a doctor, on a platform Di & Care built and runs. That gives the company direct access to prescribers and a record of every course delivered.

France has also created a reimbursement pathway for digital medical devices, providing a potential route for prescription insomnia programs to be funded through the healthcare system.
