The solution provides personalised 1-to-1 health coaching support, digital guidance, and access to an extensive library of educational resources, delivering remote perioperative care via a smartphone.

The impact

£1248 average cost saving per person 

2-day average reduction in Length of Hospital Stay (LoS)

65% reduction in post-operative complication rates (6% versus 13%) 

10-point average improvement in Patient Activation Measure (PAM) 

50% fewer unplanned cancellations

75% reduction in 30-day readmissions

It’s been frighteningly positive! From the first chat I had with my coach, I’ve never really looked back. Everything just dropped into place… the diet… the lifestyle… and everything else really. It just fell into place very neatly.”
