HealthHero

What HealthHero does

HealthHero is a London-headquartered digital health company founded in 2019 that operates Europe's largest digital-first telehealth clinic, serving patients, insurance policyholders, and employees across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, and France. The platform combines virtual GP consultations, mental health services, an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), extended primary care, and condition-management modules under a four-stage Whole-Health Model (Prevent, Consult, Guide, Manage). Underlying technology includes a proprietary Clinical-grade Medical Algorithm Library powering a certified Class 1 symptom checker and AI-assisted clinical decision support, with text and structured-data modalities. The company operates through sub-brands Qare (France), Fernarzt (Germany), and HealthHero Germany GmbH, with regional headquarters in Berlin and Paris.

HealthHero monetizes through B2B2C enterprise subscriptions paid by employers and insurers per covered employee or member, complemented by direct-to-consumer subscriptions, transaction-based prescription revenue, and professional services revenue from allied health consultations. Distribution is multi-channel: enterprise field sales to large employers and HR departments, insurance partnerships embedding HealthHero into group risk and health policies, channel partnerships such as the Fitness First premium membership add-on, and a self-serve direct consumer platform. Named enterprise and insurance customers include British Airways, Co-op, Bannatyne, Irish Life, Vhi, Groupama, Santeclair, WPA, Saga, Benenden, and Zurich Insurance.

The company is privately held and was founded by Ranjan Singh. It has grown through three disclosed funding rounds totaling approximately $151M (2019-2021) and three acquisitions: DoctorLink (December 2020), MyClinic (January 2021), and Qare (April 2021). HealthHero claims 30M+ lives covered, 1000+ corporate customers, 4M+ annual appointments completed, 3,000+ professional clinicians on platform, and a 95% patient satisfaction rate. It has received two consecutive 'Outstanding' CQC ratings, Deloitte EMEA Technology Fast 500 recognition in 2025, and Great Place to Work certifications in the UK and France.
