The SiSU Mobile Digital Health Checks Programme launched in Basildon and Brentwood at the end of March 2025. The 12 month pilot provides free installation of digital, self-serve, health check stations within routine and manual workplaces. The health check stations are supplied by SiSU Health UK and enable people to undertake a free digital health check to assess their height, weight, BMI, blood pressure, CVD risk and perceived stress.
The programme will:
- Identify and support those who would not normally access Health Improvement services to improve their health.
- Provide services for early intervention and prevention to reach a larger section of the population.
- Help people to live healthy lifestyles by reducing prevalence of the leading risk factors that contribute to ill health and premature mortality, including high systolic blood pressure, high body mass index, and smoking.
- Give employers the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to supporting the health and wellbeing of their employees.
- Provide direct referral and support from Essex Wellbeing Service.
Following the digital health check, users receive their results straight away and those identified as high risk can access services from Essex Working Well, Essex Wellbeing Service, their local GP, or community pharmacy.
All users receive personal health results and feedback while completing their check and have access to a free App containing their results.
