The company provides user-friendly
health screening software that instantly combines medical test results and
questionnaires to produce personalised health reports, accessible to the
patient or employee on any internet-connected device.
Participants in
screening programmes powered by Full Health Medical are provided with
personalised, accessible health reports created and approved by experienced
medical specialists and consultants which highlight areas of concern and advise
them on the next best course of action.
The platform contains all of the features necessary to enable health and wellbeing screening to be a faster, higher quality and drastically more cost effective service. Full Health provides employees and patients with the same convenience they now take for granted as they shop, bank or book holidays online.
Mr Paul Mc Carthy CEO Full Health Medical said “The
Challenge Cup comes at the perfect time with our launch in the UK next month at
the NEC Birmingham Health and Wellbeing at Work 2015 exhibition. We have a
strong established business here in the Irish market with our technology
