Syndi Health Raises $2m to Personalise Digital Health Support Provided By Employers, Insurers and Healthcare Providers
  • The digital health market has been flooded with over 350,000 services that sought to lower barriers to care but have now created an overwhelming ecosystem that is hard for people to navigate
  • Syndi Health’s platform enables healthcare and insurance organisations to drive adoption and engagement of third-party wellbeing apps and telemedicine services through an AI recommendation and payment system, fully personalised to individual users.
  • The over-subscribed pre-seed round included angel investors Damien Marmion, Ex-CEO of AXA Global Health, Phil Mohr and Puli Liyanagama, Founders of DataTiger (acquired by Apple), and Baron O’Shaughnessy, one of the UK’s leading policy advisors.

Syndi Health, a startup providing a digital infrastructure to offer personalised and effective digital health support within organisations, has raised £1.65 million (USD $2 million), in equity and grant funding. The investment comes from some of the most influential names in the UK’s health, technology and insurance sectors and Innovate UK, the national innovation agency. 

Syndi Health’s mission is to make digital healthcare affordable, accessible and smarter through the use of artificial intelligence. The company has built an AI platform that enables healthcare and insurance organisations to drive adoption and engagement of third-party wellbeing apps and telemedicine services, which can be personalised to individual users. 

The digital healthcare market is flooded. There are over 350,000 wellbeing apps, telemedicine and digital therapeutics available direct to consumers and $145bn is spent annually on point-of-care digital health services. With such a large pool of online options to choose from, it’s no wonder consumers and their employers are overwhelmed with the ecosystem. 

Syndi Health offers a new complementary and expedited route to support that can guide patients earlier in their health journey and decrease extensive backlogs on healthcare waiting lists.

NHS now estimates that a staggering 1.6 million people are waiting for treatment from mental health services. For the growing numbers of people seeking mental and physical health support, even with direction from a clinician, the chances of them finding the solution that best fits their particular needs, without the stress of a trial and error process, are slim.

Syndi Health founders, Ben Lakey and Jorge Alexander, built the platform after finding themselves waiting over 10 months to access mental health support. 

Ben Lakey, the Co-founder of Syndi Health, said, “We began Syndi Health knowing that we didn’t want to add more noise in the digital health market. Instead, we wanted to help healthcare organisations and insurers offer people a way to forge their own clear and safe path to digital care. As co-founders we’ve both experienced the frustration of not being given support early enough, and wanted to make fixing this problem easier. Our passionate team is building a globally impactful product and business that will bring structure to the chaotic digital health market. So far we have had overwhelmingly positive feedback from users, have secured partnerships with over 40 digital health services, and have an extensive pipeline of licensing customers.

”Syndi Health first launched their solution with student platforms in November 2020, and successfully onboarded more than 20,000 users from over 1,300 different schools, universities and colleges in the UK and the US. The business is now targeting employers, healthcare providers and insurers and has just signed a pilot contract with one of the largest healthcare charities in the UK.

The pre-seed funds will be used to continue building the platform, grow the Syndi Health team and accelerate its B2B customer growth. Syndi Health will execute its pilots with both public and private healthcare providers and employee benefit programmes to grow its user base and capture additional clinical evidence. Professor Rohit Shankar MBE FRCPsych, Clinical Director at Cornwall Partnership NHS Trust said, “We are very excited by the research and commercial potential of the Syndi Health platform. It will help us understand how better to support the mental health needs of our people and offer them the personalised digital support they need at the earliest opportunity, which is invaluable.

”The oversubscribed pre-seed round included Plug and Play, Remus Capital, Neo Kuma Ventures, Founders Factory, and Syndicate Room’s Access Fund. A roster of leading angel investors also participated including Damien Marmion, former CEO of AXA Global Health; Phil Mohr and Puli Liyanagama, founders of DataTiger (acquired by Apple); Baron James O’Shaughnessy, former Minister at the Department for Health and Social Care; Roland Rudd, founder and chairman of public relations firm Finsbury; David Giampaolo, CEO of Pi Capital; Jacob Haddad, co-founder and CEO of AccuRx; Stephen Bourke, healthtech entrepreneur and founder of e-pharmacy Echo (acquired by McKesson).

In addition to the investment, Syndi Health have won a £400,000 ($500,000 USD) grant from Innovate UK as part of their Biomedical Catalyst programme, in collaboration with the University of Plymouth and Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. The funding from the grant will be used to validate the Syndi Health platform within the NHS over the next 18 months.

Damien Marmion, former CEO of AXA Global Health, said, “Ben, Jorge and the rest of the Syndi Health team have found a way to develop an impactful product that offers remote, immediate and effective digital care. The platform is one that employers, individuals and insurers have long looked for – a smart one-stop-shop for digital health services, that monitors real-world impact and facilitates point-of-care solutions. It is a refreshing and much-needed approach to healthcare and I am excited by the impact on populations and customers that I have spent my career serving.”

Exploring Lingerie Trends With House of Skye’s Skye Drynan

Exploring Lingerie Trends With House of Skye’s Skye Drynan

With Valentine’s Day upon us, many couples are shopping for fresh lingerie pieces to spice things up in the bedroom. Wearing a beautiful lingerie set can make one feel especially powerful and confident. Lingerie trends come and go, as colorways and silhouette styles are ever-changing. Everyone has a different definition of sexy. For some, that means showing as much skin as possible. For others, it simply means being comfortable in one’s skin.

During the Spring/Summer 2023 fashion shows last September, Fendi, Blumarine, Tom Ford, and other designers incorporated lingerie style pieces in their runway looks. These looks featured teeny-tiny triangle bras, opaque tights as pants, underwired bras, and more creative designs.

Priya Downes, founder and CEO of Nudea, told Who What Wear what to expect. First up, color and texture. Colors such as baby blue, olive, and storm gray are especially popular, while textures such as mesh and velvet are gaining traction.

Another trend to expect, per Downes, is comfortable underwiring. With the pandemic behind us,  people are out and about, dressing in trendy clothing once again. As a result, wired bras seem to be making a comeback. Underwired bras are notoriously uncomfortable, but many brands are rethinking their design process and ensuring that each bra is as comforting to the wearer as possible. Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS brand has many underwire options ideal for everyday use.

Perhaps the most popular trend to be on the lookout for this year is underwear as outerwear. This was one of the most prevalent movements over the past year. People began wearing blazers with a simple bra underneath, thongs sticking out of their pants or skirts, and bras over the top of their blouses. Lingerie-style bodysuits are now being worn alone, as shirts.

So, with Valentine’s Day here, it is no surprise that lingerie is as popular as ever. Sitting at the intersection of technology and fashion, House of Skye is a cutting-edge brand sitting at the intersection of technology and fashion. Skye Drynan, founder of House of Skye, uses her six design patents, two utility patents, and two systems and methods patents in over 100 countries to help innovate the industry with her design.

Embodying many of the aforementioned trends is House of Skye’s BareBack Intimates, a modern underwear line for both women and men. The Sexy Back Bra features 22 tabs and 8 adjustable halter, arm, and leg straps that are designed to be comfortable while enabling women to pair it with any outfit. The Men’s Sport Brief comes in 6 nude colorways and has a hidden pocket for impromptu assistance.

The underwear market has come a long way, and so many brands offer a range of pieces depending on what the consumer is looking for.

63% of UK workers believe training is important to career development – Strike a new career bargain with employees

A new whitepaper from online training provider High Speed Training has found that 63% of UK workers agreed that training and learning new skills helped them to develop themselves and their new careers.

The survey, which asked 1,000 UK residents about their careers and relationships with their employers, formed part of High Speed Training’s Future Workplace Series, which explores the changing nature of the relationship between employees and employers.

Terms such as “The Great Resignation”, “Quiet Quitting”, and “Loud Quitting” have highlighted a disconnect between many organisations and their employees.

With the long term impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic yet to be fully realised, the shift of many organisations to a hybrid working model and a greater emphasis on digital skills will shape the workplace of the future, and influence how employers attract, engage and retain their employees.

In the whitepaper, High Speed Training explores how and why organisations often face an exhausting and costly chase for new employees, or struggle to keep their best staff members.
The paper sets out a model to empower HR, hiring, and training managers to focus their efforts on building solid development paths with their employees.

The 4P’s model details how successful training can be implemented into an organisation.

  • Training must be every employer’s passion
  • Training must have a collective purpose
  • Training must be a true partnership
  • Training must demonstrate progress

Dr Richard Anderson, Head of Learning and Development at High Speed Training, said:

“No-one could have predicted the seismic shifts in working procedures that almost all businesses have had to deal with over the last few years. Whilst this has certainly thrown up new and difficult challenges, there is also scope for opportunity – both for employees and employers.”

“Wider talent pools and increasing rates of digital skills mean that employers can reap the benefits of new hybrid working models – if they are willing to offer an attractive career bargain with prospective and existing employees.”

“The workforce is placing greater emphasis on their own personal and career development, utilising upskilling and training to ensure that their own trajectories align to their employers.”

“Through this whitepaper, we’ve explored how and why organisations must adapt to this new way of working to reap the benefits.”

A Thorough Roedean School Review

Families considering the best UK secondary school and sixth form options for their daughters would do well to include Roedean School in their shortlist.

When it comes to providing an exceptional education, Roedean scores highly across many school guides. Plus, the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) awarded Roedean “Excellent” in all categories in its latest report, an achievement the School has now maintained for five years running.

Here, we’ll share a complete Roedean School review, including essential information about fees, location, and its reputation as a leading UK girls’ school.

What Is Roedean School?

Roedean School is one of the UK’s top independent day and boarding schools for girls aged 11 to 18 — and the most popular in Sussex. Founded in 1885 by the Lawrence sisters, the School’s aim is “to nurture the girls’ talents, to spark their curiosity, to develop their skills, and to let their imagination run riot.”

Roedean continues its founders’ ethos, providing girls with an excellent and “thorough physical, intellectual, and moral education.” Within a safe and supportive community and with access to the best possible facilities, girls pursue academic and personal excellence.

Beyond the classroom, students engage in a broad programme of co-curricular activities. With a choice of 14 sports, every girl can engage in and enjoy an active lifestyle. There are also plenty of outlets for creativity and self-expression, from music and dance recitals to large-scale drama productions in the School’s newly refurbished theatre.

Students at Roedean hail from 40 countries, and girls learn to appreciate the diversity of cultures represented at the School. This strong sense of community extends outside Roedean’s walls into partnerships with local schools and charities, where students engage in volunteering opportunities.

A Roedean education empowers girls to discover their unique strengths and passions while learning the value of hard work, compassion, and self-belief. As a result, students leave Roedean School as confident, curious, and happy individuals who are ready to make a difference in society.

Where Is Roedean School?

Roedean School boasts a unique location that captures the vibrancy of a seaside city and the tranquillity of the British coast.

Just 10 minutes from Brighton (The Sunday Times’ best seaside city 2022), girls can enjoy the city’s culture and buzz while soaking in the sense of calm from the School’s clifftop site. Views of natural beauty over the English Channel and the South Downs National Park inspire and invigorate in equal measure.

Roedean’s 45-acre campus, which includes a farm, lies alongside an additional 75 acres of land. There are plenty of facilities, space, and fresh air for girls to explore their interests, embark on challenging adventures, and be themselves.

The School is near local transport routes, with proximity to Brighton railway station and Heathrow and Gatwick airports. A modern minibus fleet and a chaperoned service to London Victoria mean that travel to and from Roedean School is convenient and safe.

How Much Does Roedean School Cost?

Roedean School’s termly day and boarding fees for the 2022-23 academic year are:

  • Day fees begin at £6,290 per term (Year 7) and run up to £8,220 per term (Years 10 to 13).
  • Flexi boarding fees begin at £9,040 per term (Year 7) and run up to £10,930 per term (Years 10 to 13).
  • Weekly boarding fees begin at £11,120 per term (Year 7) and run up to £12,400 per term (Years 10 to 13).
  • Full boarding fees begin at £12,180 per term (Year 7) and run up to £14,745 per term (Years 10 to 13).

All fees include textbooks and stationery for students up to GCSE level.

In addition, one-year GCSE and pre-A Level programmes cost £14,745. The Language Pathway Course requires a further fee of £1,045 per term, and an additional £1,585 per term applies to boarders who directly enter Sixth Form.

There are also separate tuition fees for girls who take extra subjects and activities.

What Is Roedean School’s Reputation?

You can find positive Roedean School reviews in Tatler Schools Guide, The Good Schools Guide, and on the Muddy Stilettos website, each of which highlights Roedean’s reputation for offering a prestigious and modern education to girls.

One Roedean School review shares how a parent felt her daughter “transformed” during her time at Roedean — “she joined the physics club just for fun.”

Academic Ethos

In 2022, Roedean came 29th in the Times league table thanks to record A Level results (71% of A Level grades were A* to A and 30.5% were A*). The impressive academic results didn’t stop there — 85% of GCSEs received grades 9 to 7 (the equivalent of A* to A).

While passing exams is important, Roedean recognises that a more holistic approach to education is necessary for girls to flourish in the modern world. Through dynamic teaching that nurtures independence, confidence, and academic curiosity, Roedean’s specialist teachers encourage students to think critically and creatively.

Sixth Form

Life at Roedean Sixth Form offers a rewarding and challenging two-year experience for girls. Whether studying or exploring beyond the academic, sixth formers have plenty of opportunities to hone their skills and knowledge and test out new responsibilities during their final years at school.

To complement their bespoke curriculum (there are 23 A Level subjects to choose from), girls can engage with a range of electives, lectures, and visits. There is also a wealth of co-curricular activities and opportunities for inspiring positive change through the community action programme. Not to mention time for socialising and having fun.

A Roedean education provides a great foundation for further studies (often at top universities), careers, and life in general. Amidst a warm, supportive environment, Roedean sixth formers grow into confident, passionate, and socially aware young women who are ready for the next stages of their educational journeys.

Families who have read the impressive Roedean School reviews can see the School’s offerings for themselves by visiting and meeting the teachers and girls. Roedean offers open days and individual virtual and in-person tours.

Crypto sports fan tokens: Which fans have made or lost the most money 

  • Santos crypto fan token has made the biggest gains in 2022
  • Leeds crypto fan token has fallen in value the most
  • Aston Villa and Arsenal’s tokens have both dropped in value since January 2022

Over the last few years crypto has begun to integrate with sports through the introduction of crypto fan tokens. Purchasing these tokens allows fans to invest in their club and engage in different ways, including allowing fans to vote on decisions within the club and have access to certain exclusives. But are they profitable?  

A new study by crypto trading guide Trading Browser has analysed the price action of these fan tokens over the course of 2022. Using the data they calculated how much money you would be starting 2023 with if you invested $100 into each coin on January 1st 2022.  

 Top 5 

#1 – $SANTOS – Santos FC 

Santos are a Brazilian football team that Pele famously played for, and are one of the biggest teams in South America. In January 2022 their $SANTOS fan token was worth $3.5038, which means that a $100 investment would have bought 28.5404 tokens. The price of the token has since risen to $4.2954 which means a $100 investment would have ended with $122.59, a 22.59% increase, the most out of any fan token.  

PNL: 22.59% 

#2 – $NAP – Napoli 

S.S.C Napoli play in the topflight of Italian football, Serie A, which they have won twice. Their token $NAP was worth $3.2522 in January 2022, which would have purchased 30.7484 tokens. In January 2023 the price has risen to $3.9388 which means that the original $100 would now be worth $121.11.  

PNL: 21.11%

#3 – $ASM – AS Monaco 

AS Monaco play in the French Ligue 1, which they have one eight times. In January 2022 their token $ASM was worth $1.1225. $100 would have bought 89.0869 tokens. The price change over the year ended on $1.1337. This slight increase means fans would have $101.00  

PNL: 1.00% 

  #4 – $LAZIO – Lazio 

Rome-based Lazio, who play in Serie A, rank fourth, although despite being in the top five it’s not good news for fans. The $LAZIO token was worth $4.6154 on January 1st 2022. This would have bought fans 21.6666 tokens with their $100. The price, however, dropped to $2.9683, meaning fans would have only $64.31 left of their initial investment.  

PNL: -35.69%

#5 – $AFC – Arsenal  

Arsenal are the first Premier League team in this list, they are also the best performing, which sets a bad precedent for any other English clubs as they also start 2023 with a loss. The starting price in 2022 was $3.1948, this had dropped to $1.9697 by January 1st 2023. This means that Arsenal fans who invested $100 would be left with $61.65. 

PNL: -38.35%

 

Bottom 5  

#1– $LUFC – Leeds 

  Just like the Premier League table, Leeds finds themselves in the bottom half of this list. Leeds have encountered the biggest losses with the price of their $LUFC token plummeting from $5.4789 to just $0.6531. This means that of a $100 investment, fans would have only $11.92 left. 

PNL: -88.08% 

#2 – $LEV – Levante 

Levante play in the Spanish second division and are based in Valencia. Currently third in the league their crypto token performance hasn’t been as positive. Worth $2.2926 in January 2022, the price has fallen over the year to $0.3635 on January 1st 2023. This would leave fans with $15.86 if they invested $100 into their team’s token. 

PNL: -84.14% 

#3 – $EFC – Everton 

Everton fans won’t be happy anyway right now due to their ongoing relegation battle. It gets even worse if any of those fans invested in the $EFC token last year, as the price fell from $2.3692 to $0.4234, leaving fans with $17.87 left from the initial $100 investment.  

PNL: -82.13% 

#4 – $DZG – Dinamo Zagreb 

Dinamo Zagreb are currently first in the Croatian football league, so most fans will be happy with their team’s performance, more so than their $DSG token performance. Its initial low price of $0.9306 means that $100 would have bought you 107.4576 tokens at the start of January 2022, which if sold on January 1st 2023 would have netted you $23.2646.  

PNL: -76.74% 

#5 – $AVL – Aston Villa  

Aston Villa are one of the founding teams of the Premier League and also one of the first teams to launch a fan token, although it was met with mixed emotions. The price started at $2.2926, so $100 would have bought 43.6186 tokens. The market conditions lead to the price dropping to $0.6267. This would mean that fans who invested $100 would be left with just $27.3358. 

PNL: -72.66% 

  

A spokesperson from Trading Browser commented: “Crypto is quickly seeping into many parts of society. Its integration with sports teams has been met with a plethora of views. Proponents highlight the engagement and interaction that these technologies allow fans to have with their favourite teams, and say it gives an increased sense of loyalty and community, however like any investment there are risk factors.  

“Over the last year, there have been volatile market conditions and many investors have lost money. Therefore it’s important to never invest what you can’t afford and to do your own in-depth research before you invest”

Ipsum Capital prioritises customer outcomes with interim registration to the LSB’s business Standards

London, 06 February 2023: Ipsum Capital Holdings Limited (Ipsum Capital) have been named as an interim registered firm to the Lending Standards Board’s (LSB) Standards of Lending Practice for business customers (business Standards).

Ipsum Capital provides liquidity options to commercial lenders through the purchase of commercial non-performing loan portfolios and is a growing and evolving custodian of commercial mortgages and loans to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UK.

Registration to the business Standards demonstrates Ipsum Capital’s commitment to the fair treatment of their customers in a time when the financial landscape is most challenging.

Commentators continue to predict a difficult economic outlook for 2023. Although government funding will help aid SMEs during this time, significant increases in customer vulnerability are still expected. Working towards and registering to the LSBs Standards will support firms to provide greater customer protection in a constantly evolving landscape.

Richard Marlow, Joint Managing Director at Ipsum Capital, commented on the interim registration saying, “Whilst Ipsum have internal measures for managing and dealing with complex matters that require considerable review, our registration to the business Standards highlights our determination to provide appropriate support and fair treatment to our customers. The provision of additional, external accountability, from which we may be independently reviewed, will provide our customers with greater assurances that we are delivering to high standards and enhancing our working practices at every opportunity.”

Emma Lovell, Chief Executive of the LSB added “We are delighted to have Ipsum Capital on board for the business Standards. In taking the initiative to sign up as an interim registered firm, Ipsum Capital are sending a clear message to their customers over their intention to deliver fair outcomes at a time when it is needed most’.

The interim registration process will assess Ipsum Capital’s processes and approach to customer protection, to ensure they can meet the requirements of the business Standards, and to support Ipsum Capital in achieving full registration.

New Study: The Most Popular Growth Stocks in Europe

Growth stocks have been dominating the 21st century. Facebook, Amazon, Alphabet and Starbucks are just some companies that have seen huge percentage gains.  

According to NASDAQ, a growth stock is any share in a company that is expected to grow at a rate significantly higher than the average growth for the market. Their share prices, revenue or profits flow at faster rates than the market, meaning some investors choose growth stocks to earn profits from the rapid price appreciation they offer, rather than income from dividends (although this can equally go the other way and result in losses).  

However, what is the most popular growth stock in each country in Europe? Well, CMC Markets has revealed the answers by comparing monthly AHrefs search data, revealing the most searched for growth stock in each country.

Two growth stocks dominated the results, with Google and Facebook being the highest performers across all countries in Europe.  

27 European countries had Google as the most frequently searched growth stock, making it the most popular on the continent. The country with the highest number of searches per month goes to Germany, which is searching for Google stock 149,000 times per month.  

Other countries with high monthly searches for Google stock include the Netherlands, with 122,000 searches and Turkey with 115,000 searches a month.  

A total of 20 European countries have Facebook as the most frequently searched growth stock. The country with the highest number of searches per month is Ukraine, with 107,000 searches each month.  

Other countries with high search results for Facebook include the United Kingdom with 87,000 searches a month and Italy with 69,000. 

Armenia was the only country tying on both Google and Facebook, with 2,600 monthly searches each. 

Michael Hewson, Chief Market Analyst at CMC Markets said: “Google and Facebook are dominating as the most popular growth stocks across Europe. Both of these companies have a huge influence on the market, and the media, which is why many Europeans are looking to invest in them.   

“We can see that countries such as the UK, Italy and Austria are producing thousands of searches each month for these two stocks.”
