You wouldn’t run a marathon without training but each year 1.6 million people in the UK undergo major surgery without preparation. Preparation for these treatments is termed prehabilitation, which focuses on physical, nutritional and psychological readiness. Without prehabilitation, you are more likely to suffer complications such as a stroke, heart attack or sepsis and as a result, have longterm disabilities and a prolonged recovery. All of this causes a huge financial burden on the healthcare provider. But by completing a course of prehabilitation, you can: - Reduce your risk of complications by 51%! - Decrease your hospital stay by 1/3! - Be fully recovered by 8 weeks post treatment! New research supports prehabilitation, guidelines recommend all healthcare providers offer a service and COVID-19 has accelerated the adoption of health-tech. At PreActiv, we have created a completely digital, remote solution to prehabilitation, which is evidence-based and designed by doctors. Using patient data, we create dynamic personalised exercise programmes which adapt based on their performance. Patients can use our accessible website and/or app from their home. PreActiv empowers patients to improve their treatment outcomes as well as helping the NHS become more financially sustainable. As co-founders, we have over 20 years of experience working as NHS doctors. We are an award-winning start-up with VC backing from Bethnal Green Ventures and fantastic angel support. Our vision is to become a market leader in digital health and fitness for underserved populations with specific medical, mobility and digital accessibility needs. We would love to hear from you if you share our values!
