New partnership aims to plug cancer care gap

Digital health firm Syrona Health, which supports gender-inclusive healthcare services, has agreed a new partnership with virtual cancer “survivorship” clinic Perci Health.

The agreement is aimed at providing a new cancer care solution in the UK for employers and insurers.

Syrona’s cancer screening and Perci’s personalised prevention and post-diagnosis rehabilitation programmes will be combined for the partnership, which aims to tackle the financial and productivity challenges posed by cancer, supporting patients from early detection to long-term recovery.

With more than 367,000 new cancer cases diagnosed annually in the UK and the cost to the economy exceeding £7.6 billion per year, cancer is one of the most pressing healthcare challenges facing employers today.

Syrona Health’s co-founder Anya Roy said: “Our partnership with Perci is a game-changer for cancer care. By combining Syrona’s cancer screening solutions with Perci’s network of highly skilled cancer specialists, we’re creating a seamless, patient-centred journey. A cancer diagnosis is overwhelming enough without the added stress of navigating a complex healthcare system.”

This partnership aims to provide a holistic approach to cancer care, offering support at every stage of a patient’s journey.

From Syrona’s advanced cancer screening and early detection tools to Perci’s personalised rehabilitation programmes, it aims to enhance patient outcomes, increase workplace productivity, and cut absenteeism-related costs for employers.

Kelly McCabe, co-founder and CEO of Perci Health, said: “Cancer survivors are often underserved, facing lasting challenges that continue well beyond their diagnosis. Our partnership with Syrona allows us to deliver personalised, multidisciplinary care to more patients, while helping employers and insurers address the growing costs of cancer care.”
