Ordinary Folk breaks barriers on sexual health with telehealth platform

Ordinary Folk is a Singapore-based telehealth startup dedicated to men and women’s health issues. Founded in 2020 by Sean Low, the startup has two main platforms: Noah which zeroes on men’s sexual health, mental wellness, hair care and weight management whilst Zoey focuses on sexual wellness, fertility, mental health and wellbeing.

According to founder Sean Low, Ordinary Folk aims to ease the pain points of an in-person clinical visit, whilst making it easier for people to seek care for stigmatised conditions such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, among others.
