We are delighted to announce our investment in PocDoc, a Cambridge-based digital diagnostics company. Molten participated in its seed funding round, which closed in November after raising over £10 million. 

PocDoc launched in 2020 and is revolutionising access to cardio, metabolic, and renal diseases by enabling patients to use smartphone-based technology to undertake screenings that provide almost instant results in workplaces, communities and at home.

PocDoc has seen major progress in 2024 in both public and private sectors. In the summer, it unveiled its first-of-its kind integration into the NHS app, enabling patients to undertake its ‘Healthy Heart Check’ – a point-of-care diagnostic test for Cardiovascular Disease that lets patients see their results immediately in the NHS app. To date, the Healthy Heart Check service has been used by tens of thousands of patients across the country.

The business has launched a national partnership with supermarket chain, Asda, with a number of other notable high street chains expected to launch PocDoc’s Healthy Heart Check before the end of the year. 

Luke Smith, Head of Early Investing at Molten Ventures comments: “Steve and the team have built a unique product which is already delivering real value to the NHS; helping make thousands of people more aware of their health. There is a real need to shift to preventative healthcare and PocDoc can enable that.

“This round is testament to the strength of the team and the progress they have made. We're very excited to continue supporting the business.”
