Gro Health is an evidence-based behaviour change platform that addresses the four key pillars of health:
- Nutrition: your health starts with what you eat. Choose a certified personalised nutrition program and find resources and meal plans personalised to disease, budget, dietary preferences, and cultural and social norms.
- Sleep: education to support healthy sleep routines and in-app guided sleep meditations, music to sleep to and bedtime stories to aid sleep.
- Activity: browse personal trainer led guided exercises personalised to fitness, covering strength and mobility training, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), cardiovascular training.
- Mental wellbeing: education and resources to optimise mental resilience supported by mindfulness meditations, guided yoga, and 360° augmented reality visualisation exercises.
For a short period of time, Gro Health is currently being piloted with patients across NW London. If you work in a NW London general practice and would like to be involved in this pilot, please email nhsnwl.digitalfirst@nhs.net.
A Digital Access Hub is where Primary Care Networks and/or GP Federations work digitally or virtually, together on online consultations. These Hubs allow general practices to share resources to manage medical and administrative demands on behalf of a number of practices. Read the Digital First Digital Access Hub strategy for a closer look into this collaborative way of working.
