"We’re excited to partner with Check4Cancer to address two of the largest drivers of insurance claims, delivering better health outcomes together."
- Simon Spurr, Managing Director at Alula Health
Check4Cancer has partnered with Alula Health to combine its MyCancerRisk© with Alula’s VivaScore®, creating a digitally enabled & comprehensive solution for assessing, monitoring, and understanding both cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks. These conditions are often the instigator of claims on health insurance policies.
“At Check4Cancer, our fundamental aim is to promote cancer prevention and early cancer detection. Our MyCancerRisk© platform identifies employees at higher risk for six common cancers using an online, tailored questionnaire. Those at higher risk are directed to risk reduction and cancer screenings,” explained Prof Gordon Wishart, CEO of Check4Cancer.
He said: “By partnering with Alula, we can jointly tackle the top two causes of global claims by raising awareness of the risks and symptoms of both cancer and CVD, promoting targeted prevention strategies.”
Simon Spurr, Managing Director at Alula Health, added: “With nearly 8mn people living with cardiovascular disease in the UK – accounting for around 25% of all deaths – it represents a growing challenge for the healthcare system, employers, and insurers.
“Evidence shows that preventative health checks, combined with behavioural changes, can significantly reduce its prevalence. Our innovative VivaScore® solution leverages advanced data analytics to provide users with a clear understanding of their health risks, empowering them to make impactful behavioural changes.”
