PocDoc is a digital health platform developed with the vision of allowing anyone with a smartphone or tablet to test themselves for a range of major diseases or conditions via a fingerprick of blood, receive a full health assessment that puts those results in context and then be offered solutions to address any health-related issues that arise. The PocDoc platform has been designed to work with our proprietary, quantitative blood tests, which have been developed in-house and are focused on preventative disease areas (Cardiovascular Disease, Metabolic Disease and Renal Disease ). The platform can also integrate other existing rapid tests, digitise the results, and provide the same health assessment and follow-on care pathways. PocDoc successfully rolled out the PocDoc Healthy Heart Check, which focuses on cardiovascular disease in homes, communities, healthcare organisations and pharmacies across the United Kingdom. PocDocs technology has been granted multiple patents worldwide and is set to be the first home testing diagnostic service to fully integrate with the NHS app. Featured in the BBC News, BBC Breakfast News, The Daily Mail, The Telegraph and The Guardian. PocDoc has won 3 Innovate UK awards and MedTech Breakthrough award for its technology.

Lexoo makes the job of reviewing routine commercial contracts easier and less time-consuming for everyone. We do this in two ways: We do it for you - our team of in-house lawyers can negotiate your commercial contracts in max 2 business days for a fixed-fee without any long-term commitment. We help you do it - we took our experience reviewing thousands of contracts, and built playbook software that makes the job simpler, and more efficient for legal, ops and sales teams. We also handle ‘multi-country projects’, like localising T&Cs in multiple countries, so that in-house lawyers don’t become full-time project managers.
