Unlocking the Invisible: Consumer Health Insights
Unlocking the Invisible: Consumer Health Insights
Why this Challenge?

People are surrounded by health data yet often unsure what it means or how to act. That uncertainty keeps prevention and condition management out of reach for many.

Guided by Haleon’s purpose to deliver better everyday health with humanity, we seek innovations that turn personal health data into simple, trustworthy, actionable guidance.

We’re seeking solutions to make the invisible visible, helping people notice early changes and take confident proactive steps toward self care.

Our Startup Challenge
Health with Humanity: Actionable insights for preventative care

The context:
People often struggle to understand what’s happening in their bodies until their conditions progress too far. Current solutions are either too complex, expensive or only suitable within a professional health care setting. This leaves many people uninformed about their own health and what actions they should take.

We want to improve access by providing personalised health insights, so that people are equipped to make earlier decisions about their health. We’re interested in visualising complex science to communicate early health changes easily to drive a more preventative self-care approach.

What we are looking for:
We’re seeking consumer-friendly, evidence-based tools that turn health data into clear, reliable insights plus simple next steps for self-care.

Solutions must focus on:
• Pain Relief
• Oral Health
• Respiratory Health
• Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements
• Digestive Health or
• Therapeutic Skin Health
Find out more at haleon.com/our-brands.

Solutions must be:
• Scientifically validated
• Prescription-free
• Low cost
• Accessible at home/retail
• Provide fast results
• No more invasive than a finger-prick blood sample
Solutions shouldn't require high-cost hardware or clinical supervision.
