Project Increasing the uptake of national screening programmes with smart targeting of underserved subgroups
Description

Appt Health is a digital platform that automates and personalises patient outreach to increase uptake in preventive care. In partnership with Imperial College London and seven Cancer Alliances, this NHS-funded project aims to improve cervical and lung cancer screening rates—particularly among underserved groups with historically lower attendance. The platform identifies eligible patients through integrated clinical systems, then sends tailored, behaviourally informed messages designed with local communities. By addressing barriers such as language, digital access, and awareness, Appt Health simplifies the booking process and supports earlier cancer diagnosis, helping practices reduce inequalities and meet national screening targets more effectively.
