UK pandemic start-up Syndi Health is growing its services using AI to connect employees to an all-in-one platform for gathering, suggesting, and paying for digital health services, hence enhancing employee wellness support.
Syndi Health was born from first-hand experience of the broken healthcare system that involved confusion when seeking immediate and effective support within a chaotic and crowded digital ecosystem.
Founders Ben Lakey and Jorge Alexander set up with the desire to make digital health support accessible and personalised for everyone, starting with mental health. The company is now on a mission to propel the personalised digital healthcare revolution forward.
Lakey said, “We began Syndi Health knowing that we didn’t want to add more noise in the digital health market. Instead, we wanted to help healthcare organisations and insurers offer people a way to forge their own clear and safe path to digital care. As co-founders, we’ve both experienced the frustration of not being given support early enough, and wanted to make fixing this problem easier.”
The app works as an online marketplace bringing mental health apps together, such as Calm and Headspace. While applying AI to collect all employee data, the employer is notified via an employer management portal containing anonymous statistics.
Syndi Health has raised a total of £2.1 million in funding over four rounds. Their latest funding was raised on Feb 7, 2023 from a pre-seed round. Founded in 2020, the company now has 15 investors including Innovate UK and Accurx co-founder Jacob Haddad. With the newest funding of £2 million, the company is hoping to support more people by helping organisations and insurers offer teams a way to forge their own clear and safe path to digital care.
