Morelife, an NHS and public health partner specialising in weight management, lifestyle and preventative healthcare, has been acquired by digital health provider Voy.

The companies said the deal will enhance delivery across Morelife’s NHS-commissioned services and support more technology-enabled care pathways for obesity and other chronic conditions.

The business will remain operationally independent, while drawing on Voy’s experience in scaling digital healthcare to improve efficiency and expand reach, including into communities facing health inequalities and among people who are digitally excluded.

Voy says its digital-first model supports highly personalised care plans, while Morelife brings 20 years’ experience running behaviour-change programmes, including in some of England’s most deprived areas.
