WellNex

The problem

Office workers skip the annual check-ups that catch chronic disease early, because a visit costs half a working day and results arrive weeks later.

The solution

WellNex brings a nurse-led screening to the office, returns results in the app within 48 hours and books follow-ups with a doctor by video.

Employers with 100–5,000 staff who pay for health cover.
