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.

When most people think about planning for death and dealing with loss, they think about wills, lasting power of attorney forms, life insurance, probate. But underneath these cold processes is something much more human - the question of ‘What will you leave behind?’. It’s a chance to share more than just money: leave voice notes, playlists, recipes, and videos. Not something to be rushed, but to be added to as life changes. Co-created in conversation with friends and family.

Consulting Services Helping you generate better results and deliver against the challenges or opportunities facing your organisation, by working with you to define your strategic intent and plans with clarity and focus, and to deliver against them with greater confidence and success. We believe that being clear on … What you’re all about as a business and what you stand for, and What it is you want to achieve, and Focusing and aligning your activity against both of these (and stopping what’s not!) … is key to delivering results more successfully. We work with businesses at different stages of their evolution – from start-ups to well established organisations – helping them to shape and deliver growth strategies, big picture reset, transformation delivery, new business propositions, operating models, and cost agendas. Business Advisory And Coaching Using the skills, experience, knowledge and competence of our advisors and coaches to help you deliver an acceleration of business and personal performance For many organisations the Founder/ CEO and Exec team know they would value some additional support. They don’t see the requirement, or have the time and resources, for a one-off consulting intervention. Equally, they don’t want the commitment and expense of a permanent Non-Exec. This is where Hedgehog Business Advisory & Coaching plays a role.
