With the news that HealthTab has now screened more than 3,500 patients and—among many other milestones—completed a record volume of 2,295 HbA1c tests across North East and North Central London in an initial one-month pilot, we are excited to announce “The Path Forward,” a strategic update outlining our UK expansion strategy for our point-of-care testing platform.

The update outlines our progression from NHS-linked pilot programmes in London toward broader regional and national expansion across England, supported by clinical outcomes, independent evaluation, and growing institutional support.

As the sector evolves, point-of-care solutions like HealthTab are already demonstrating the impact of how digital integration in new services can support earlier detection and data-driven care at the community level.

The market for point-of-care diagnostics is expected to expand significantly by 2029, reflecting a global move toward quicker answers, earlier detection, and more patient-centered care.

Rapid health checks are transforming cardiovascular care in London, as a new initiative expands to 70 pharmacies, shifting services from hospitals to the high street.

As recently highlighted by the BBC, our community pharmacy testing pilot delivered with Barts Health showed that:

→ Of 1,000 people tested for cholesterol, 163 were identified as high risk of a heart attack or stroke.

→ 50 patients were started on cholesterol-lowering treatment directly through their pharmacy, without the need to go via their GP.

The trial's initial success brings an expansion to 70 more locations in east London, showing us that pharmacies can quickly become a powerful pathway to preventative and proactive care in the community with the harnessing of digital tools—directly speaking to the pillars of the NHS 10 Year Health Plan.

Cardiovascular disease remains the UK’s biggest killer, but placing digital prevention in the community is a proven, scalable, and equitable way to change that.

As one part of UCLPartners' insights on steps to preventative innovation, putting "accessible prevention where people already are" is key to making it readily available and easily accessible.

Community pharmacies play a vital role by offering trusted walk-in care where people already go, especially in deprived areas. HealthTab helps enable this shift with its simple seven-minute lipid test placed in the community pharmacy, bringing prevention closer to home.

📽️ Darren Jones MP recently shared an excellent video showing how community pharmacies in North East London are increasingly becoming a front door to prevention and it's encouraging to see the delivery of real access, closer to home: https://x.com/darrenpjones/status/2011014667922014566

After a successful pilot with Barts Health NHS Trust this past year, the programme is now expanding across North East London. We're excited to be bringing HealthTab’s simple 7-minute test to 70 more community pharmacies, making it easy for people to check their health and cardiovascular risk where convenience finds them.
