About us
Building sustainable healthcare
Nightingale Health’s mission is to build sustainable healthcare and reduce health inequalities. Nightingale Health has developed the world’s most advanced health check for the health industry. Our solution provides risk detection for multiple chronic diseases from a single blood sample. Nightingale’s Health Check can be scaled to entire populations at a low cost, and it can replace many of the current risk assessments. Detecting disease risks on a population level allows for the effective targeting and tracking of health interventions, and better prevention of the onset of chronic diseases. With every sample we help to create a healthier world.
Nightingale Health operates globally with a parent company in Finland and seven subsidiaries in countries such as Japan, the United States, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. We have customers in more than 25 countries in the healthcare and medical research sectors. Our technology is being used in many of the world’s leading health initiatives, such as the UK Biobank, and over 600 peer-reviewed publications validate the technology.
