Free Apps
Trusted free self-care support apps - with no cost and no setup.
For NHS teams, universities, charities, local authorities, employers, and other organisations with a duty of care - working under growing demand and pressure.
When services are stretched, not everyone who needs help gets the support they deserve - especially people who may feel unsure, overwhelmed, or overlooked.
Health confusion about symptoms, self-care, and where to go for help often leads to:
- anxiety and uncertainty
- avoidable appointments and delayed support
- added pressure on frontline teams
Our free self-care apps offer a simple way to reduce health confusion and support people earlier, without adding work for your teams.
Add local support and branding
Why mobile apps?
Apps make it possible to offer trusted self-care guidance at the moment it’s needed - reaching more people without adding pressure to services.
Once downloaded, apps stay with people, work offline, and provide a single, trusted place for clear guidance.
