Why Healum

Prevention support that starts at the check

A plan in under two minutes

Turn an NHS Health Check, a weight management referral or a stop smoking assessment into a personalised prevention plan, instead of writing advice from scratch.

Support on their phone

Daily actions, education and local services improve people’s experience and help them reduce their risk of CVD early.

Insight without extra appointments

Self-reported readings and engagement data show the team who needs support.

The difference it makes

Prevention that reaches people sooner

Earlier support for people at risk

Support starts at the check or assessment, while there’s still time to lower their risk.

Higher uptake of prevention services

People find and book local services from their phone, from walking groups to stop smoking support.

Better long-term health outcomes

Daily actions and home readings keep people going between appointments.

Reduced health inequalities

Culturally relevant content and services, in people’s own languages.

For people

Their results, their plan, on their phone

People see what their results mean and get daily support to lower their risk, in the app or on the web.

In practice

From the check to lower readings

Paul’s NHS Health Check finds his blood pressure high. His results come in from EMIS, Ben shares a heart health plan, and when his readings stay high, a walking group near him. Six Saturdays on, his readings at home are under his target.

A plan in under two minutesSix weeks of heart health support, shared with him.

What the team seesHis blood pressure week by week, and what he’s done.

Flagged at the checkThe practice’s list shows who’s at risk.

From the clinical systemHis results come into his record. Nobody types them again.

Between appointments

Daily actions at home, readings back at the practice

A plan, trusted content and home readings of blood pressure, weight and cholesterol, shared back to your practice.

Between appointments

Daily actions at home, readings back at the practice

Daniel’s practice sees his blood pressure three times a year.

At home he takes a reading most days, and ticks off four small actions.

Each reading rises to its value, and his trend draws itself.

One Tuesday night: 168/102. His practice sees it that night, not at his review in October.

His medicines are reviewed. Week by week, his readings come down.

Everyone at risk on the list, a year of readings each. Only the few in orange need a review.

Small actions every day. Readings the practice can see.

Support more people at risk, without adding workload.
