SiSU Health Raises £1.25m for European Expansion

SiSU Health, a digital health platform aimed at prevention and addressing health inequalities, has raised £1.25 million from Praetura Ventures. The funding, specifically from the GMC Life Sciences Fund by Praetura and the NPIF II Praetura Equity Finance, will enable SiSU Health to expand across the UK and Europe. SiSU Health's platform focuses on the early detection of health risk factors, encouraging healthier lifestyles. The investment will support the expansion of the team and operations, including building on its presence in Manchester. With over one million health checks delivered to date, the company targets additional growth across employer, public health, and primary care sectors.
