Online doctor consultations & DNA testing part of new services launched by DAM Health

Liverpool-based DAM Health has announced a raft of new medical services as it continues its rapid expansion into cutting-edge areas of healthcare.

A brand new online doctor service will see patients given access to a live GP for consultation within three hours of booking an appointment.

Meanwhile, the firm has also launched DNA epigenetics – state-of-the-art testing which can detect diseases in the body long before they appear.

DAM, which emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, has more than 40 clinics in the United Kingdom and operates internationally.

The company’s director of research and innovation, Dami Aboyeji, expects the new technology will become increasingly important in modern healthcare. Aboyeji says: “DNA epigenetics shows when people have certain changes to their genes which affect your lifestyle. This information will provide insight into intolerances and diseases you may be susceptible to, long before they appear.

“I believe this technology is going to become so much more important in the future because we have always believed evolution is something which happens over a long period of time.

“But DNA epigenetics shows us the changes which are happening within our lifetime and can even show people the effects drinking alcohol has on their body, or certain foods.”

Liam Spence, director of business development (pictured alongside Professor Frank Joseph, DAM’s medical director), adds: “DAM Health is working on a full portfolio of healthcare services and products both online and in-clinic with an array of rapid diagnostic tests to be readily available to the public, as well as point-of-care machines, which offer more in-depth results.

“The launch of an online GP will also lead us to our main objective of subscription-based healthcare. It is a very exciting time for the company as we set our sights on becoming a global leader in healthcare and diagnostics.”
