At Lime Health, we imagine a society where prevention is the new cure.

Using technology for the greater good, without lectures or books to read, just pure vital statistics guiding your health as never imagined.

A Partnership to Transform Healthcare: Introducing the Lime Health Score

We are proud to announce our strategic partnership with Alula Health, a specialist in health data ecosystems and applied intelligence. Together we bring to life our long-held vision for a Lime Health Score. The service seamlessly captures specific health data and generates a personalised health score, which measures overall health trends, including heart health, blood pressure, cardiovascular and stroke risk, mental health and stress levels, and physical health parameters. The health score surfaces up areas of change, both positively or negatively, from just a few initial questions. Phase 2 that will be released in October, the score will dynamically adjust over time and guide the user to optimal health!

The Lime Health Score: Central to Workforce Health

The Lime Health Score is the cornerstone of Lime Health’s comprehensive ‘whole of workforce’ offering. Measuring employee’s physical and mental health and, if needed, alerting or signposting them to appropriate clinical assistance early, which often improves outcomes considerably. This changes the health paradigm to prevention being better than cure.

For employers, this means they can clearly measure the aggregate health of their workforce at an anonymised level, identifying trends, both good and bad, enabling informed choices on health solutions for intervention. They can also measure the impact of their employees’ health in real-time. The Lime Health Score uses aggregate data from digital health checks/scans, wearables, and in the near future, will ingest data from blood tests if carried out as part of the Lime ecosystem, thus becoming an important part of the intelligence layer. 

Prevention is the new cure: 

Early Detection and Clinical Assistance: We believe in a healthcare model focused on early detection through aggregate health data and timely clinical assistance. This anticipatory approach fosters a true "health system" rather than the current "sickness system."

Better Treatment Outcomes: Early detection and treatment can lead to better outcomes, potentially preventing disease progression and reducing complications, thereby improving long-term health.

Health Literacy: With 43% of adults struggling to understand written health information (low health literacy has been linked to poor general health,), the Lime Health Score provides an easy-to-understand health measure, crucial for improving general health.

The Lime Health Score changes everything for all of us. Imagine finally having affordable early detection, fast access to clinical diagnostics, and chronic condition support, all done in a matter of days. That's healthcare reimagined with Lime Health.

Voices of Innovation

Simon Spurr, Managing Director of Alula Health, said: 

“Our well-established, industry leading algorithms generate a unique and personalised score by integrating multiple disconnected health data sets into a single, cohesive and measurable output. This offers a comprehensive view of an individual’s well-being, gathered by the underlying platform that continuously ingests, structures, and processes information from diverse sources such as wearable devices, health tracking apps, digital health screenings, pathology services, and connected partner services. By leveraging sophisticated data analytics and machine learning techniques, we provide actionable insights and personalised health recommendations – or smart “nudges” as we call them – empowering users to make informed decisions and proactively manage their health. This approach not only enhances individual health monitoring but also supports employers and broker consultants in better understanding and engaging their populations, ultimately driving improved health outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. 

By embedding Alula’s data intelligence and dynamic scoring capabilities into Lime’s platform, this will revolutionise whole workforce employee management by surfacing up real-time, personalised health insights to employees and their employer groups, and further driving proactive healthcare services when and where necessary. Consumers are often overlooked when it comes to accessing their health information and having the freedom to choose suitable protection coverage. This limits their ability to effectively manage their health and determine where and how to access services. The partnership with Lime Health is a natural and exciting fit. “

Shaun Williams, CEO of Lime Health, said: 

"During our formative years, we envisioned a health score that could measure individual health and identify vital trends to inform necessary changes or provide clinical assistance quickly. Alula’s unique approach provided the answer we were looking for. This partnership powers the Lime Health Score, seamlessly connecting with our modular products and services, accelerating our mission to foster healthier workforces."
