Revolutionizing Preoperative Care: PreActiv's Impact on Healthcare Industry
PreActiv, an innovative prehabilitation platform, is making waves in the healthtech industry, raising over £500,000 to revolutionise preoperative care. With a mission to slash patient complications, reduce bed days, and save healthcare providers millions, they are rapidly reshaping surgical care. Prehabilitation has quickly evolved into a healthcare essential virtually overnight. Similar to rehabilitation but conducted before surgery, prehabilitation focuses on improving a patient's cardiovascular fitness and strength, while also providing nutrition, lifestyle and psychological support to prepare them for their upcoming surgery. It reduces the risk of complications by 50 percent and shortens hospital stays by an average of two days, alongside improving a patient's overall long term health.
Given these benefits it is unsurprising that NHS England has mandated trusts to incorporate prehabilitation into their care protocols as part of their new perioperative guidelines.
As a result, healthcare providers are now actively seeking out cost-effective solutions that can be implemented on a large scale to meet this demand. At the forefront of prehabilitation innovation is PreActiv. Founded by NHS doctors in 2020 the platform harnesses cutting-edge technology to create individualised prehabilitation programmes tailored to each patient's needs. As a highly cost-effective prehabilitation option, they have become the ideal solution to meet NHS England's latest guidelines.
PreActiv's groundbreaking platform has garnered impressive interest, securing Exceptional Ventures as the lead investor. Exceptional Ventures, a VC firm focused on health and wellness investments, is enthusiastic about supporting PreActiv's innovative approach and promising potential. Exceptional Ventures Investment Manager, Michella Botto added: "We are thrilled to partner with Rebecca and Alec on PreActiv's journey to revolutionise the prehabilitation space. Their scalable, evidence-based programmes significantly reduce surgical complications and accelerate recovery, offering a cost-effective solution to the £14 billion burden on the NHS. PreActiv's integration of patient data, support networks, and educational resources makes it a promising innovation in improving surgical outcomes and long-term health."
