North East sports scientists who have worked with elite athletes in a number of sports have raised £1m to develop their employee wellbeing and performance app.
The investment from the North East Venture Fund, supported by the European Regional Development Fund and managed by Mercia, will enable Dr Phill Bell and Dr Paul Smith to further enhance their One Wellbeing mobile app and create around 10 new jobs at their Newcastle-based company, ART Health Solutions.
One Wellbeing anonymously assesses employees’ health and wellbeing by bringing together data from their smartphones and fitness trackers, performance tests and factors such as working environment, location and schedules. It then provides tailored content to address individuals’ specific needs, while also providing employers with data to help them improve the workplace experience for staff.
