London-based HealthKey secures €1.32 million to improve how employees access and pay for healthcare
Summary
Founded by ex-Thriva and SeedLegals healthtech and engineering experts, David Joerring and Tudor Cotop, witnessed first-hand traditional healthcare’s struggle to unlock the power of preventative health and set about creating a solution capable of bridging the gap between payers and providers. The company’s announcement also follows comments made in a speech at the Nuffield Health Summit by England’s Chief Medical Officer, Sir Chris Witty – who said that disease prevention is “absolutely critical” to ensuring the NHS does not “struggle substantially” in the future. “So far, we’ve been driven by a singular mission to unlock and simplify access to everything you need to live a healthier life, which requires a shift in how health and well-being services are provided and paid for, and means putting the user in the driver seat and giving them more control. Working in our field, we often see efforts to promote proactive and preventive health struggle to reach its full potential – and we wanted to change that,” added HealthKey’s Co-Founder and CTO, Tudor Cotop. Our investment is another example of Aviva backing promising new UK tech companies, supporting growth in the sector whilst also gaining valuable insight into new trends and services for customers.”
