Our history
Disease Management Strategy Group, Inc. (DMSG) was founded in 2012. However, the first version of its ROI software, WELLCAST ROI™, was originally launched in the US market in 1993, and quickly became the most utilized tool to calculate ROI of wellness, behavioral and occupational health programs.

New Calculators are continually being developed upon demand by clients in various countries. DMSG also expanded into the consulting field, specializing in developing strategic plans for the prevention of physical and behavioural issues.
