Peachy, a health app founded by former NHS surgeon and senior Bupa exec, Amit Patel, has raised $1.6 million in seed funding. Now accepted into the FCA “Sandbox” programme, the company will hel customers buy and manage health insurance without a yearly commitment. ‘We are proud of what we have built with Peachy – a true end-to-end technology-based solution that private medical insurance has been in desperate need of for years,’ said Patel. ‘More than anything, we are excited about the much larger cross section of the public who will now find it radically easier and more affordable to get the private healthcare they want, all of which will help ease the strain on the NHS.’
