About Us

DoubleCheq

DoubleCheq is a digital health service providing personalised, high quality health information on how to manage and cope with health issues.  Anyone can benefit from this service, but we focus on the needs of people with a diagnosed health condition.

The company was founded by healthcare professionals, with input from clinical researchers, data scientists, and digital health technologists.

Our mission is to give people peace of mind and better health by delivering the highest quality health information and support, personalised to individual needs and circumstances.

Our Vision is a world where everyone can access a trustworthy source of reliable health information and support that provide peace of mind and a route to the best possible health.

What We Do

We give people the highest quality health information and support for their individual needs and circumstances.  This includes face-to-face services, such as consultations and webinars.  We are also working on a 'digital health assistant' that will automate the delivery of personalised evidence-based information for people with multiple conditions or health risk factors.

How are we different?
All of our clinical staff have specialist training, clinical experience, or first-hand experience as a patient in one or more of the conditions we support.  This gives us insight and empathy beyond that available in many typical healthcare environments.

A Personal Journey

In 2022, I became a patient.  Previously, I had worked for 15 years in the UK's National Health Service (NHS) as a physiologist specialising in preventative cardiology and stress medicine.  This was followed by seven years working on a digital health venture at the University of Oxford.  After years of helping patients improve their health, I found myself on 'the patient side' of healthcare.  The whole experience was confusing, stressful, sometimes scary, and often gloomy.  But, as noted by Professor Stephen Hawking, "However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do to improve it".  So I started my own self-care journey.

This experience taught me some important lessons:
• to proactively manage my health (self-care)
• to double-check health information
• to cope better emotionally, and
• to prioritise important lifestyle changes

These simple steps made a big difference and my physical and psychological health improved significantly.  Now I seek to help others achieve better physical and emotional health, so you too can feel at ease, accomplish your goals, and enjoy your life.
