“Most people are still not aware that companies like Thriva exist. That is something we want to change as we build towards a truly consumer-led future of health. Swathes of the population are already proactively seeking improved health, and are waking up to the fact that it’s within their gift to understand and control.
“It’s a system we see as working in tandem with organisations like the NHS, which offer a crucial service for people at the point of need when sick and/or serious care is needed.”
Managing Director of Pembroke VCT, Andrew Wolfson, said: “There is a rapidly-growing market shift towards proactive healthcare and the maintenance of optimum health. Thriva now offers its customers a means of effectively monitoring and maintaining their health – and by doing so, lessening the likelihood of having to see a GP.
