PocDoc partners with YuLife to introduce Healthy Heart Checks to Group Income Protection Customers

YuLife will now offer customers PocDoc’s groundbreaking Healthy Heart Checks as a reward in the app included in YuLife and MetLife’s Group Income Protection plan. This initiative will offer the Healthy Heart Check as a solution to tackling the leading causes of Group Income Protection claims, while also empowering employees to take care of their own health.

Globally, Cardio, Metabolic and Renal (CMR) diseases are the leading cause of ill-health and death. In the UK alone, cardiovascular disease affects around 7.6 million individuals. However, 80% of cardiovascular disease-related cases could be prevented, saving lives and financial resources.

Early detection and preventive care are key to addressing this issue. As a result, the Healthy Heart Check is now available to YuLife customers for free as a reward in their app-based GIP offering.

The Healthy Heart Check offers patients comprehensive results on their full cholesterol profile, body mass index score, estimated heart age and ten-year risk of a heart attack or stroke, all within 10 minutes. Patients can also consult with a registered clinician to receive advice on their results. The Healthy Heart Check should also help reach high-risk groups, including individuals over 40 or those who experience difficulty accessing proper health care.

This collaboration aligns with YuLife’s mission to inspire individuals to live their best lives.

Sammy Rubin (CEO & Founder) at YuLife said: 

“CMR diseases are the leading cause of death globally and have often been associated with high healthcare costs. Our collaboration with PocDoc is a great approach to tackling this crisis. Offering the health check as an incentive in YuLife’s Group Income Protection (GIP) app will allow more people to get screened and empower them to take charge of their own wellbeing.

It will also encourage people to engage in activities such as walking and meditating, which can have a strong positive impact on mental and physical health. Employees who consistently engage in these activities will be able to unlock new rewards, including the Healthy Heart Check."

Steve Roest, CEO at PocDoc, commented: 

“CVD affects millions of lives in the UK. By partnering with YuLife, we are able to reach employees who are at high risk of CVD and help to improve their health through meaningful lifestyle changes.

This initiative will not only help to save lives, but it will also help to relieve some of the healthcare costs associated with treating CMR diseases.”
