Elevate has launched a ‘first-of-its-kind’ proactive healthcare platform in the UK, which it says empowers individuals to take control of their future health and detect risks early.
Bringing together clinical expertise, advanced medical tech and genetic insight, Elevate has developed a comprehensive full body scan and proactive health platform. The company says it is creating a new type of healthcare membership in the UK, which will be provided through corporate partnerships, as well as direct to individual members.
Delivered by a specialist medical team, the membership incorporates an AI-supported full body MRI scan, advanced blood profiling and polygenic risk analysis. It identifies health risks and enables individuals to take steps to reduce the impact these have on their life.
Elevate is designed to help catch medical conditions at the earliest stages, reduce the likelihood of them developing, or slow their progression – using a combination of lifestyle changes, clinical expertise and tech.
Elevate is part of Get Scanned – one of the UK’s largest private scan providers, and has access to advanced MRI scanning facilities across the country. It has already received interest from corporates seeking a new type of healthcare benefit – to support the long-term health of employees.
The launch follows rising demand for preventative healthcare services. Providers of preventative body scans have reported extensive waiting lists and Google trends data shows search volumes for full body MRIs are up 900% in five years. There has also been growth in home diagnostics and DNA testing, as people seek more knowledge about their health.

Founder and CEO of Elevate, Adil Mohammed, who developed the new concept alongside a team of medical specialists said: “The shift towards preventative healthcare is being driven by advances in medical diagnostic and therapeutics technologies and growing demand from people who want to access more data about their body. Elevate is designed to provide a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of your health than ever before – with clinical expertise to navigate the new level of health insight – and support early detection and prevention.”
Elevate’s chief medical officer is Dr Nitin Shori, who has been at the forefront of digital healthcare in the UK over the past 17 years, including developing one of the first online doctor services added: “We’re entering a new era of healthcare – where it’s now possible to access unprecedented levels of data about your body – and take better control of your health trajectory.
“Elevate is more than just a body scan – we help members understand their genetic strengths and weaknesses – and vulnerabilities to conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, specific types of cancer, and other conditions. We’re pioneering a future where health isn’t just about reacting to illness, but having the knowledge to support a healthier and better quality of life.”
Elevate takes a proactive, doctor-led approach and uses a combination of face-to-face appointments and digital access via the Elevate app, where members can interact with physicians, schedule testing appointments, see results, understand risk scores and access healthcare support.
