Aviva is offering medical diagnostic services as an employee benefit to a test group of its employees.
The pilot follows an agreement between diagnostic imaging platform Scan and digital health provider HealthKey.
While there are no current plans to rollout the partnership further than this test group, it will offer this select group self-book private MRI and CT scans.
The two organisations are backed by Aviva through start-up support organisation Founders Factory and Aviva Ventures. In April Aviva invested £1.5m in Scan.
Ben Luckett, chief innovation officer at Aviva, said: “Aviva has supported both Scan.com and HealthKey as part of our ambition to deliver great outcomes for our customers, and it is fantastic to see the progress they are both making in enabling accessible healthcare for all.”
Dr Lizzie Tuckey, UK managing director at Scan, said: “Efficient infrastructure removes barriers for payers, and makes personalised health benefits more accessible for patients.
“Together with HealthKey, we’re speeding up access to imaging, to shorten diagnostic waiting lists and reduce the impact of delays on employee absences and wellbeing.”
David Joerring, CEO and founder at HealthKey, added: “Partnerships such as this are the cornerstone of our mission to build a digital health infrastructure that allows people to access the healthcare they need from unnecessary barriers.”
