About Aneira Health
Aneira Health is a women’s health startup founded in 2024 in partnership with renowned venture builder Population Health Partners and registered by the UK Care Quality Commission, on a mission to transform women’s healthcare by reshaping the healthcare system. Operating at the intersection of human care, computational biology, machine learning and AI, Aneira Health’s clinical scope spans primary and preventative care, specialty women’s health care and chronic health management.
Rather than a one-off solution or standalone app, Aneira Health is redesigning care with an entire system built specifically to deliver care for women’s bodies. Offering a blend of in-person and virtual options, Aneira Health treats the whole spectrum of women’s health:
- General health
- Sexual health
- Menstrual health
- Pre-conception, contraception and fertility
- Pelvic pain
- Endometriosis
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
- Bladder health
- Early pregnancy and post-natal care
- Perimenopause
- Menopause
- Preventative care
- Genomic health
Underpinned by cutting-edge science, machine learning and proprietary AI, the Aneira Health journey begins with ‘baselining’: hormones, blood markers, and vitals, alongside DNA tests covering the entire genome, to calculate polygenic risk scores (genetic risk for conditions such as obesity, PCOS and high cholesterol). This allows the clinical team to identify a patient’s risk of developing certain conditions to begin preventative care or treatment. The one-size-fits all approach is no longer: each patient pathway is entirely personalised to their body, lifestyle and health goals.
Alongside its clinical care which is addressing the gender health gap, Aneira Health is actively contributing to closing the gender data and research gaps. Every member contributes to research in order to make care more available, personalised and proactive for women and undo the decades of disparity in clinical trials which have excluded women.
Aneira Health was built by a team of experts:
Dr Nikita Kanani MBE, former Medical Director of Primary Care at NHS England, and GP
Chris Wigley, ex-CEO of Genomics England
Dr Cecilia Lindgren, Oxford Big Data Institute, women’s health and cardio-metabolic specialist
Dr Ingrid Granne, Research Professor at Oxford University, Gynaecology Consultant and specialist in reproductive medicine
Matt Gillam, ex-CTO of international healthtech scale up Sonder
Having already partnered with NHS Guy’s and St Thomas’ Trust, Aneira Health is on track to expand across the country and internationally, with the goal of advancing state-of-the-art healthcare for all women. Unlike many private healthcare providers which are economically inaccessible, Aneira Health membership begins at just £1 a day.
