The reasons

There is an undeniable deficit of health care providers within the haulage industry which is unlikely ever to be corrected in the foreseeable future due to the stresses placed on the NHS.

With the average age of HGV drivers being 56 and their average mortality being 63, there is no other profession that comes close to these statistics. Yet we rely so much on them for our day-to-day survival.

The NHS has become an overstretched and reactive ‘sickness’ service with waiting lists measured in years, it focuses on emergency care and very sick patients only, it cannot hope to cope with the health needs of the Haulage industry in its current form.

This is exacerbating the high levels of ill health, leading to increased sickness absence, reduced individual and corporate productivity and an increase in the rate and severity of accidents.

It is our combined aim to identify, reduce and eventually prevent the high levels of sickness suffered in the workplace. This intervention is essential for the individual employees, the company and for society.

It is our view that we need to focus on wellness and prevention.

We rely on freight for almost every aspect of life; we also share the road with these drivers who suffer from a significantly higher risk of cardiac disease, metabolic disease, stress and sleep deficit which in itself presents a fivefold increased risk of accidents.

How it works

Health Drive Digital utilises advanced sensor technology, the internet of things, and Medical professionals to facilitate new and improved ways to detect potential health problems. This is achieved through regularly updated monitoring that produces data that can help indicate the status of a user’s health and wellbeing.

The health benefits

Our monitoring solution provides people with early awareness; when a health issue is detected, an early intervention can be made to identify and provide early and effective support to people who are at risk of poor outcomes.

Early intervention reduces disease progression. It is cost-effective and allows employees to keep on working safely; it improves productivity and allows businesses to fulfil their obligations towards their employee’s health and safety.

The science

With our colleagues at Fitbit, Virtual Ward and Clinical partners we are able to utilise the latest in wearable technologies to detect, risk stratify, remotely monitor and advise users on their health and health risks.

The system is designed to automatically push key health risk indicators, which are constantly reviewed by our team of Doctors and healthcare professionals.

For diagnosis and treatment, there is an option to use a remote/virtual online GP service with our Clinical partners. This allows your drivers to be reviewed wherever they are, breaking down the barriers to accessing Health Care by making GP contact as easy and seamless as possible and keeping your drivers on the roads longer.

Unlike other MedTech companies that believe that AI can provide an alternative for doctors, we do not share this view.

We believe in the abilities and skills of our physicians in the UK, but that they need the best information that is possible in order to do their job well.

Providing our objective client-offered medical data takes out a lot of the guesswork that occurs at first contact and allows doctors to triage and to prioritise at scale, optimising staffing levels and resources.

Compatible devices

Our programme provides access to the Fitbit Sense smartwatch and the Fitbit Charge 5 advanced fitness tracker. These devices offer a range of health features, with interchangeable bands so you can style them to suit you, plus great battery life of 5 days+.

What it measures

Heart rate

Heart rate, respiratory rate & temperature

Whether working hard or resting, the variation between heartbeats and your breathing rate can be tracked day and night. Significant changes could indicate potential signs of stress, illness or fatigue.

The additional ability to track skin temperature can also uncover signs of a fever or illness. And if abnormal readings are detected an alert is sent.

Sp02 sleep activity

Our system is unique in that we can detect real-time blood oxygenation levels which is an essential element for detecting sickness but also an important metric to identify those who are suffering from sleep apnoea. Sleep apnoea leads to heart disease, obesity, depression and a fivefold increased risk of road accidents.

Sleep

Sleep

We can monitor the time and quality of sleep, additionally, we can risk stratify for sleep apnoea to prioritise this dangerous condition and get it treated.

Activity

Activity

Increased time and quality of physical activity is directly linked to physical and mental health. Activity releases chemicals in your brain, making you feel good, improving your self-esteem, helping your concentration and sleep quality. Physical activity not only makes you feel better, but it’s also something many of us can do for free.

Blood pressure

The system risk stratifies for blood pressure, alerting workers to abnormal readings and the need to liaise with a healthcare professional.

Weight

Weight

Obesity is a leading cause of many long term health conditions and actively tackling this reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes, respiratory conditions, many cancers, sleep apnoea and overall life expectancy.

Heart rate

Heart Rate Variability

Heart Rate Variability can be an indicator of stress which impacts both mental and physical health. Clients are offered relaxation interventions and alerts the client for the potential need for healthcare intervention.

Wellness & stress management

Often overlooked, our insights will help clients to know more about their mental wellbeing and offer support and data for the client to use when accessing a healthcare professional.

Our mission

‘Our mission is to empower people to make informed choices for early intervention and to have better, longer, healthier lives.’

We are the leaders in transforming patient-clinician care assessment by constantly monitoring wearable device data via our sophisticated platform to identify symptoms and provide effective early support to people at risk of poor outcomes. We can then notify and guide the user to help prevent problems from occurring or address them before they become worse.

Our journey

Health Drive Digital’s roots can be found in Virtual Ward Technologie Limited (VWT) and our insight and knowledge in the Occupational Health sector.

We realised that this system could be applied beyond the traditional healthcare model and into the realm of Occupational Health. (OH) 

Health Drive Digital has already proved that OH can improve the health and well-being of workers using this digital intervention.

OH understands the health/work balance and that healthier employees are fitter, happier and more productive than their sicker counterparts.

We are unique in combining leading technology from Fitbit that identifies health metrics with a virtual ward and OH oversight to provide a cutting-edge real-time risk assessment tool that can be applied at scale.

This tool could help to identify illnesses early and provide an earlier opportunity for medical intervention, diagnosis and treatment. This could help with the prevention of serious disease, accidents and sickness absence.
