Keep people healthy, reduce pressure on services and show you care

We make it easier for universities, colleges, the NHS, local councils, charities and the private healthcare sector to better provide their communities with trusted health advice and fulfil their duty of care.

Use our range of targeted, free-to-download mobile apps to offer people who need guidance and support (especially underserved and disadvantaged groups) instant, discreet and convenient access to reliable and useful health information - in one single space, even when offline.

Feel safe knowing that we're certified by the Patient Information Forum 'PIF Tick' and led by a GP with 20+ years of experience working in the NHS and UK Higher Education.

Are you feeling the pressure?

We know what it's like when you're struggling to give people the support they need and worry about their welfare because of, for example, the increase in mental health problems, inadequate funding of services and challenges brought on by the pandemic.

  • Overwhelming demand: Do you and your teams find it hard to keep up with the demand for services and as a result feel tired, frustrated and stressed?
  • Perceived lack of care: Do people wrongly think you don't care about them, even when you're doing your best to reach out and help?
  • Crisis management: Do you handle too many physical and mental health crises that could have been avoided, such as medical emergencies, self-harm and suicidal feelings?
  • Health information: Do people in your communities have trouble finding reliable information on your website (or elsewhere) to help them self-care and make well-informed decisions about their health?
  • Choosing services: Are people unaware of the kind of support available to them and how to choose services well, so they end up in A&E for a simple sore throat or miss out on free anxiety workshops provided by a local charity that could have turned their lives around?

If any of these sound familiar, consider going digital to create healthier and happier communities that value your support - and enable your teams to feel more in control again and be able to go home on time.

Act now to help people make better-informed decisions about their health

Choose from a range of apps for different groups of people to:

  • Improve health knowledge. Educate people on how to spot and manage physical and mental health problems. Explain what's normal, what to look out for and when to seek help. Dispel harmful misinformation and myths. Reduce stigma. Offer reassurance and choice.
  • Promote self-care and good health. Provide useful self-care advice. List links to credible sources of further information - all in one location. Help people manage first-time health issues and long-term conditions better. Inspire your communities and give them the tools to improve their wellbeing so they can live happier and healthier lives.
  • Manage and avoid crises. Prompt people reaching crisis point to take the right actions. Encourage them to seek help earlier next time. Prevent emergencies, poor health outcomes and - in the worst-case - needless loss of life.
  • Signpost support better. Point to available support more effectively. Show people how to navigate services. Make clear how to access the right care at the right time. Reduce avoidable pressure on your support systems. Facilitate more joined-up care in the community.
  • Show you care. Make people feel supported. Provide them with a better overall experience. Excel at providing local info and links through local customised pages and stand out.

Think of the information on these apps as being similar to health advice on the NHS website - but more targeted, easier to navigate and accessible offline.
