Hamish Grierson is the co-founder and CEO of Thriva Health, a home blood-test and health-check service. Hamish joins Elliot to talk about putting people in control of their own health, and why he feels you don't have to go against the system to disrupt it.

Hamish Grierson is widely known as one of the smartest and nicest people in UK healthtech and is the founder of Thriva, a leader in at home diagnostic testing. In this show, he and Steve clearly share a lot of the same values and missions between Thriva and PocDoc, it's a masterclass in self managed healthcare!

We all have a lot of information about our bodies - we might own smartwatches or phones that count our paces or measure our pulse rate, we may have a blood pressure monitoring machine and there are apps and devices to help with diabetes.  Is it all too much, though? Has self-diagnosis gone too far? In this debate I speak to Dr. Gigi Taguri of LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor and Hamish Grierson of Thriva about whether we have too much data and when we need to get advice from a human. The Near Futurist now has a LinkedIn group you'd be welcome to join - and if you like what you hear why not leave a review wherever you downloaded it?

Hamish Grierson is the CEO and Co-founder of Thriva, a company which offers direct to consumer blood testing — with a broader mission of improving human lifespan. For under £100 you can order a test kit, prick your finger at home and mail the blood sample back. This is then reviewed by a GP. In effect, they're treating people like adults who can take charge of their own health and data. Hamish came from the world of FinTech having headed International Payments and Remittance at Travelex, before co-founding Thriva in 2016. Thriva has raised $14.7 million dollars to date. We talk about democratising access to healthcare testing and whether there should be limits on what tests we offer people, whether just giving people more data is the panacea in improving life and health span and how sometimes — outsiders are best placed to tackle some of the big problems in healthcare. I hope you enjoy. You can find me on Twitter @MustafaSultan and subscribe to my newsletter on www.musty.io

Taking charge of your own health has never been so easy and it is being made possible by technology companies like Thriva. I first became aware of what such tests could tell you by watching Biggest Loser USA. Contestants got their blood tested and then the Doctor tells them all sorts of information about their life expectancy, sex drive, early stage diabetes and a whole number of other health indicators. I've wanted to include a home health test in Team Super Dad since we launched and it's taken this long to make a connection with a company I really liked. Thriva is that company and when you hear their founder Hamish Grierson speak you will understand why. He is an entreprenuer who has created a number of businesses. He is a committed family man and Dad. He is alos really bloody interesting to chat to.Since we recorded the podcast I have had my Thriva test results back so watch out for a future podcast episode where I will go through those for you.

Last month we launched 'Breakthrough' an interactive event showcasing a cross-section of companies gearing up to raise their Series A in front of a packed room of growth stage investors. As well as hearing from select companies across everything from distributed computing to using advanced scanning technology for early-cancer detection, Carlos also hosted a number of panels to dive deeper into sectors where we’re seeing particularly advanced innovation and where we’re making a high number of investments. HealthTech is an area we’ve been particularly interested in and proactively investing across for many years now. Carlos sat down with a cross-section of founders we’ve backed across the sector including Lina Chan, Co-founder of Adia Health; Hamish Grierson, Co-Founder of Thriva and Diego Cantor, Co-founder of Ezra to discuss everything from proactive versus reactive healthcare, the disconnect between mental and physical health, empowered patients, and the importance of integration with current healthcare systems. Tune in to hear how founders think the evolution of healthcare will look like in two years time.

What role do health-tech startups play in the future in providing integrated and holistic healthcare systems? How can we use the bio-psycho-social model through the lenses of sexual well-being to create openness and to de-stigmatize one of the most fundamental and topics of our lives – sex. In this week’s episode of This Much I Know, Carlos is joined by Dr Anna Hushlak and Hamish Grierson. Anna is the co-founder and Chief Science Officer of Ferly, whose vision is to radically transform society’s relationship with sex – from how we think about it to how we have it. Hamish is the co-founder and CEO of Thriva, who are on a mission to empower millions of people with simple and affordable tools to easily understand and track their internal health data by providing personalized at-home finger-prick blood tests and medical advice. Tune in to hear Anna and Hamish discussing the challenges of building credibility around new technology and blood collection techniques as a startup, the challenges of creating trust and openness in the fundamentally private and personal environment that is sex, how one defines what ‘good’ sexual and mental wellbeing is, and dissecting their lessons learned and tips to founders launching health-tech startups.

I speak to Hamish Grierson, the Founder and CEO of Thriva, a company that allows people to take at home blood tests, help monitor and prevent commonly known health conditions.

Hamish Grierson is the CEO and Founder of personalised healthcare platform, Thriva. Hamish cut his teeth as an entrepreneur through a varied early career in advertising, hospitality and a mentoring period at Travelex thanks to the New Entrepreneurs Foundation. A serendipitous beer with Co-Founder-to-be Eliot Brooks (who has a cholesterol condition requiring regular blood tests) led to the birth of Thriva – the world’s first preventative health service. Easy-to-use blood test kits are posted to you for testing. Once submitted, your results are published to you on the platform’s beautiful interface with GP explanations and recommendations based on your results. The data built up over time will allow predictive analytics to suggest powerful, data-driven solutions to people’s health problems. The conversation digs into the Thriva solution and their plans to introduce products relating to the Microbiome and the Endocrine system. We also move into general topics including: functional medicine, genomics, the diabetes epidemic and the power of predictive data. Self-administered stool transplants and robot leeches even come up! Hamish impressed us not only with the sophistication of his knowledge regarding the healthcare space, but also his genuine concern for improving the system and empowering people to live better lives.

What if you could take a blood test without leaving your home? Getting regular checkups and tests at the local GP may seem like a beneficial idea, but the reality is that people in the UK rarely book appointments to see a doctor unless they’re feeling unwell. In a bid to get more people to take charge of their health, London-based startup Thriva, is giving people easier access to preventative healthcare through a finger-prick blood test kit that can conveniently be taken at home before being posted to a lab to be analysed. In this episode of HealthRedesigned, we chat with Hamish Grierson, CEO and Co-founder at Thriva who tells us why he and his co-founders started the health service that’s empowering consumers to take proactive steps towards better health and what’s in-store for Thriva’s future.
