Healthcare marketplace platform HealthKey has acquired personal health assessment and recommendation platform Syndi Health.
The acquisition, which was finalised on 1 May, will see HealthKey take on a number of Syndi Health’s customers, and will look to combine HealthKey’s due diligence and marketplace capabilities with Syndi Health’s patented and medically-approved clinical assessment technology.
“This acquisition combines two companies with similar roots and fully aligned missions,” said David Joerring, chief executive of HealthKey.
“We have both been focused on supporting people with better access to healthcare through technology, making preventative care more personalised and affordable.
“While HealthKey has focused on removing friction from the access to healthcare services through marketplace integration, Syndi Health excelled at clinical assessments and AI-driven personalised recommendations.”
Founded in 2020 by Ben Lakey and Jorge Alexander, Syndi Health guides individuals towards the most suitable digital health solutions through personalised recommendations.
Ben Lakey, co-founder and chief executive of Syndi Health, added: “Together, we are going to be able to empower organisations to support the diverse needs of members and employees.
“We can guide them to find precisely the right solutions for their individual needs at a scale which puts an incredible array of options on the table for our customers and end-users.”
As part of the acquisition, Syndi Health’s Ben Lakey will join HealthKey as director of operations.
Syndi Health’s assessment technology, which was awarded a Biomedical Catalyst grant by Innovate UK, will be integrated into HealthKey’s platform.
The key target for this acquisition is to provide immediate benefits to both sets of existing customers, with plans to roll out enhanced personalisation capabilities to all HealthKey users in the future.
