Healix Health has expanded its partnership with Perci Health to offer members full access to its end-to-end cancer support.
The Perci Guide digital cancer support service covers prevention and early detection, prehabilitation, treatment support, rehabilitation, and care for those supporting someone with cancer.
It will be available to Healix members as its cancer prevention offering through its app.
The platform uses regular questionnaires and available health data to tailor content and recommendations to each user’s needs.
Members can complete a digital risk assessment, access lifestyle and prevention guidance, receive reminders for their NHS screenings, and use the in-app nurse chat function for real-time, confidential support from Perci’s team of cancer specialists.
Perci Health is also backed by Macmillan Cancer Support through its Impact Investment Fund and is working with the charity to integrate their content into the platform to ensure members receive credible, evidence-based guidance.
Ian Talbot, CEO at Healix Health (pictured), said: “Cancer affects everyone in some way, yet many people still don’t know what to look out for or when to get screened.“
He added that according to Cancer Research UK 38% of cancer cases are preventable and employees were looking to their employers to help them take a more proactive approach to their health and prevention should be part of everyday healthcare, not an afterthought.
“The service gives employees and their families the trusted information, tools and expert support they need to understand and reduce their cancer risk, while ensuring anyone impacted by cancer receives compassionate, evidence-based care,” he added.
Kelly McCabe, co-founder and CEO of Perci Health, added: “We’re harnessing technology and clinical expertise to completely reimagine how cancer care is delivered, from prevention through to recovery.
“By combining digital innovation with trusted, evidence-based guidance, we’re making personalised, high-quality cancer support accessible at scale and in a cost-effective way.”
