SiSU Health Secures £1.25M for Preventative Health Expansion
SiSU Health Empowers Preventative Health with New £1.25M Investment
In an era where proactive health solutions are more critical than ever, SiSU Health has made a significant stride by securing a game-changing investment of £1.25 million from Praetura Ventures. This funding, part of the GMC Life Sciences Fund, will enable SiSU to expand its innovative health platform across the UK and Europe. By focusing on early intervention and reducing health inequalities, SiSU Health is positioning itself at the forefront of the digital health revolution, helping nearly 20,000 individuals each month to monitor and manage crucial health metrics like blood pressure and obesity.
At the heart of SiSU Health's mission is its self-service SiSU Health Station, a digital kiosk that provides users with quick health checks in just five minutes.
This streamlined experience not only aids individuals in understanding their health risks but also generates anonymized data to inform public health strategies. With the latest investment, SiSU Health plans to expand its network of over 600 health stations by 2026, increasing accessibility in workplaces, NHS, and community settings. Moreover, this growth will bolster SiSU’s operational capabilities, including enhanced manufacturing processes, particularly in their Manchester base, while collaborating with the Department of Business & Trade for larger facilities.
The implications of SiSU Health's advancements resonate strongly in today's health landscape. With more than one million health checks conducted, the data reveals alarming trends: a staggering 70% of users have not undergone recent blood pressure assessments, despite its link to serious cardiovascular issues. This lack of awareness translates to profound economic costs, as employee health directly impacts productivity—costing the UK an estimated £103 billion in GDP losses due to health-related work absences. SiSU Health aims to tackle this challenge head-on by offering tailored solutions for public health authorities, corporations, and insurers, ensuring every individual, irrespective of their background, has the tools to manage their health effectively. As CEO Samantha Fay states, “We’re building a future where everyone has the tools and confidence to take control of their health."
