Health Apps Secures Investment to Accelerate Growth
Health Apps – the Bristol based developer of mobile apps
for healthy living - has raised £110,000 in new capital under SEIS (the Seed

and CEO of SKCI (SK Consulting & Investment Ltd.), who will join the board
of Health Apps.
Health Apps is part of Bristol tech incubator WebStartBristol whose founder Mike Jackson will also join the Health Apps board. The
current investment is part of a wider plan for Health Apps to accelerate the
development of the market-leading Cook & Count app, and to introduce other complementary
products.
Deborah Wilder, CEO of Health Apps, said ”I am really
excited about this investment as it will allow us to move Health Apps to the
next stage. Dietitians already know how important it is for people to have
access to validated and accurate nutritional information and this investment
will help us to spread the message further and grow the user-base for Cook
& Count.”
