This Occupational Health (OH) project is a Phase 1 feasibility study aimed at improving discovery, access and provision to OH services for self-employed individuals and micro and small enterprises by using a digital-first approach. Currently, there is a wide variation in access to OH services across the UK, with large employers being five times more likely to offer these services than small employers. Also, as concluded in the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) research "Innovation and knowledge development amongst providers of occupational health", there is also a wider sectoral issue of a lack of SME employer buy-in to OH services. This leaves self-employed individuals and micro and small enterprises underserved, which can have a significant impact on their ability to stay healthy and productive at work. There are estimated to be around 1,000 occupational health providers in the UK. The majority of providers (60%) being micro businesses with low capacity. The innovation is an evolution of Feeds, Damibu's Content Syndication Platform, currently used for internal content distribution in NHS primary care. Feeds is an online platform that helps organisations manage, customise and distribute digital content. It enables the aggregation of content from multiple sources and the distribution of such content to any website or mobile app. The innovation focuses on four elements of the challenge: * Encourage SME Employer Buy-In. Address sectoral issue of a lack of SME employer buy-in; * Increase Access to OH Services. Design a cost-effective solution for occupational health (OH) service providers to offer digital services; * Improve Service Provision. Engage with OH providers to determine efficient management processes; * Contribute to Evidence Base. Collecting and reporting on anonymous analytics.

Innovate UK are working with Damibu, a Liverpool based technology development team to create Damibu Feeds, a unique technology to improve management and syndication of online content. Damibu's vision is to transform the way that information is published and consumed online, improving transparency, validity and trust. Damibu is passionate about giving end users better information. Feeds allows organisations to curate their own unique resource by aggregating "trusted" data sources into custom information Feeds. These Feeds can then be delivered via any online technology: websites, mobile apps, voice (Alexa, Siri, etc) or IoT devices. Following success in the health sector, the project extension focuses on bringing Feeds into new sectors.
