What does sickness cost?
6 November 22

The executive leadership team at Health Drive Digital is made up of technology, healthcare, and business experts with a wealth of experience and proven success.
Our ethos drives us to harness the power of technology for good, for the benefit of individuals and businesses alike and committed to embracing and developing technological advancement to facilitate effective solutions that are affordable and accessible to all.

The NHS has become an overstretched and reactive ‘sickness’ service; it has had to focus the majority of its resources on emergency care and very sick patients only. As a result, it cannot cope with the health needs of business in its current form, exacerbating the high levels of ill health, leading to increased sickness absence, reduced individual and corporate productivity while increasing the rate and severity of accidents.
Our combined aim is to identify and reduce the risk of illness developing in your staff. This intervention is essential for the individual, your company, and society.
We monitor real-time client-offered wearable data that can help to predict the major causes of preventable illness; cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, sleep apnoea, activity levels and stress.
It is our view that we need to focus on wellness and prevention.
At Health drive digital, we have over 50 years of combined medical experience covering the fields of hospital medicine, intensive care, primary care and occupational health.
Dr Thomas has been an innovative entrepreneur in the medical field for many years, inventing solutions and solving health problems both in the military and the domestic spheres; he brings this skill to health drive digital.
Dr Pearson is an experienced GP and Occupational Health doctor that provides insight into how Health and Work interact and how this impacts individuals, their families, society, companies and the NHS.
Health is not an isolated phenomenon, but it’s intricately related to our lives, both domestic and professionally and over time, we have worked to identify the stresses and strains that lead to sickness, not just treat the sickness that presents.
Our tech team has many years of providing cutting-edge, scalable technology in the financial sector, which we have meshed into a health platform that enables us to collect, collate and stratify an individual’s medical metrics in order to identify and prevent serious disease.
Combining this know-how with our business team enables us to oversee the health metrics of an entire company’s workforce and to identify abnormalities that will lead to illness, accidents and sickness absence.


Users can seamlessly interact with their health data using Fitbit’s advanced sensor technology and mobile application. The data is then used to analyse wellness using systems that provide a range of interventions tailored to the client’s data.
The data collected allows an ecosystem of health professionals to provide timely health solutions to users at a scale never previously possible due to the use of cloud and mobile technology.
Our unique application of health insight and targeted interventions over a range of conditions makes the technology the best in its class.
We recognise the success of our clients is the key to the success of our business.
We work hard to deepen our relationship with our customers and partners to support their evolving needs and the needs of the customers they serve. Our customer promises are what our customers can expect from us and our partners.
Commitment: We understand respect and value our customers taking an interest and will take the time to listen. We are committed to being open and honest and in keeping our customers informed about what matters to them.
Simplicity: Although we share a complex world, we want to get things done simply and with flexibility. We will always do our best to remove unnecessary obstacles and make it as easy as possible for our clients to work with us.
Excellence: We achieve high quality in everything we do, committing to excellence in how we do business and always highly professional to deliver exemplary customer service.
Proactivity: We aim to resolve problems quickly and effectively and can be trusted to do what we say and when we say it. We will always take responsibility for putting things right and collaborating with our partners to drive a swift resolution.
Innovation: We keep innovating to improve the experience for customers and everybody who uses our services. We are open-minded to new ways of doing things and are keen to hear customer feedback; we are always striving to do better.
