US-based telehealth company Hims & Hers Health has unveiled its plan to acquire ZAVA, a digital health platform in Europe, to support its global expansion.
The proposed acquisition will enhance Hims & Hers’ presence in the UK and establish its brand in Germany, France, and Ireland, along with other markets.
It aims to accelerate the delivery of Hims & Hers’ seamless, personalised care experience, already successful in the US, to millions more people worldwide.
The company plans to establish its branded presence in these European markets, leveraging ZAVA’s platform in the upcoming quarters.
The transaction, which will be funded entirely in cash from Hims & Hers’ balance sheet, is expected to close in the second half of this year and will be accretive by next year.
Hims & Hers founder and CEO Andrew Dudum said: “By leveraging ZAVA’s established European presence, cutting-edge technology, and deep customer understanding, we’re poised to fundamentally transform access to care for millions across Europe.
“Whether in rural towns, vibrant cities, or remote communities across Europe, people battling widespread, often silent chronic conditions like obesity, depression, and more will have access to the personalised, high-quality care they deserve.”
ZAVA, serving over 1.3 million active customers, conducted nearly 2.3 million consultations in 2024 across the UK, Germany, France, and Ireland.
By integrating ZAVA’s European operations and digital expertise with Hims & Hers’ brand, the company aims to become a global leader in digital health.
Hims & Hers plans to introduce a new, personalised dimension of digital health in Europe, catering to individual needs in dermatology, weight loss, sexual health, and mental health.
The expansion will include access to healthcare providers in local languages across Britain, Germany, and France.
ZAVA co-founder and CEO David Meinertz said: “Wherever you live, the need is the same: healthcare that’s personal, trustworthy and fast. By joining forces with Hims & Hers, we can put that standard within reach of millions more people across Europe.
“Together, we’ll pair ZAVA’s trusted clinical services, established footprint, and deep understanding of the European healthcare landscape with the Hims & Hers experience to make affordable access to high-quality, personalised care the rule, not the exception.
“I’m thrilled to be working with Andrew and his team. It’s still day one for digital healthcare, and I can’t wait to see what we’ll achieve for patients in the years ahead.”
