Not so long ago we were asked by Kent Community Health NHS Trust to look at ways to improve how their nurses worked with patients to record the results of their health checks. Traditionally, prior to the app, the results were logged in a leaflet for the patients to take home and update as and when they could, or at their next visit.
Trusted NHS Digital Transformation Partner
My Health Check exemplifies our healthcare technology expertise developed through multiple NHS partnerships. We've built patient-facing applications compliant with NHS Digital standards, understanding both the technical requirements (data security, clinical safety standards, information governance) and the operational realities of NHS workflows. Our healthcare portfolio includes platforms serving NHS Trusts, patient monitoring systems meeting clinical safety standards, and digital health tools that must function reliably in critical care contexts.
The My Health Check app required compliance with NHS data protection protocols, integration with clinical heart age calculation algorithms validated by public health experts, intuitive design for diverse patient demographics including elderly users, and offline functionality for patients without consistent connectivity. This represents our broader capability delivering healthcare technology that meets the stringent requirements of the UK's national health service.

With the launch of the My Health Check app, available from the App Store and Google Play, this has all changed and turned the experience into one that provides patients with ongoing advice, feedback and goals that they can meet between health check visits.
The detail
The My Health Check app lets patients record your blood pressure, cholesterol, weight and physical activity which is used to calculate a heart age score. The heart age score is based on your lifestyle and results in advice on how to get fit and stay healthy.
Along the way patients can set goals to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce blood pressure or cut back on their alcohol intake.
Whilst the app is designed to support Kent-based patients it can be downloaded nationally for anyone to take advantage of. Go grab your copy to check out your heart age.
