Due to an increasingly ageing population, now more than ever, it is necessary to implement a preventative care approach as opposed to reactive care for musculoskeletal conditions (osteoarthritis, knee pain, back pain) to improve the quality of life of an ever-ageing population. This enables significant time and resource savings whilst improving overall pa...

Now more than ever, it is necessary to implement a preventative care approach as opposed to reactive care for cardiovascular disease and arrhythmia. This enables significant time and resource savings whilst improving overall patient outcomes. In response to this clinical challenge, KYMIRA and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (Imperial) are developing...

Stillbirth affects approximately 1 in 244 births in the United Kingdom. Foetuses may exhibit signs of compromise as part of a stress response before stillbirth and a key indicator is a reduction in foetal movements. Signs of compromise often occur only hours or at best days before foetal death, so it is highly likely to be missed by current monitoring pra...

There is a strong link between fetal movement and fetal health: 25% of women perceiving reduced fetal movements (RFM) have poor perinatal outcomes. A landmark study has further shown that 55% of all stillbirths are preceded by RFM. Fetal movement monitoring and subjective maternal awareness does lead to a reduction in stillbirth numbers, with observationa...

Professional sports are a high-risk industry due to the potential of injury, with football being one of the top three sports with the highest amount of injuries. Catapult Sports have estimated that the average cost of an injury is ~£200,000 in fixed wages, with English Premier League teams losing an average of £45 million per season due to injuries. There...

Now more than ever, it is necessary to implement a preventative care approach as opposed to reactive care for Musculoskeletal Disorders (osteoarthritis, knee pain, back pain) to improve the quality of life of an ever-ageing population. This enables significant time and resource savings whilst improving overall patient outcomes by providing tailored care b...

The needs of older women are largely ignored in many areas of life, and this is particularly true when it comes to sport and exercise. Yet sustaining fitness and activity levels for women as they age has life-changing and lasting benefits in relation to physical health, happiness and mental wellbeing. In the older female population, a particular barrier t...

The market for digitally supported fitness is vibrant, but recognised players focus on high achievement messages for the already motivated and engaged. In the meantime, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, over six million people aged 55+ in England were physically inactive, and one million more became inactive during the pandemic lockdowns. This negative impa...
