Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
-
Users are guided through the setup process by a trained KiActiv® Mentor, to help them become accustomed with both their physical activity data and the tools within their personalised online dashboard that incorporate clinically proven behaviour change techniques. This training is provided in the form of a remote telephone call.
Users receive a total of 6x20 minute 1-2-1 telephone calls with a trained KiActiv® Mentor over the initial 12-week KiActiv® Health programme. This provides them with sufficient knowledge and understanding of physical activity, and valuable context behind the data to enable them to make meaningful changes to their lifestyle, and continue their self-care journey long beyond their initial KiActiv® Health programme.
Further support is also available via online instructional videos, and our online user documentation (i.e. how-to-guides and FAQs etc.) - Service documentation

Fighting climate change
Our Sustainability Policy outlines our approach to improving our environmental performance within the business and this is reviewed annually. We believe in developing sustainable models of care and have developed our technology-enabled service to minimise energy and resource use. Our service contributes positively towards government targets that are linked to ‘net zero’ as a result of reductions in carbon emissions associated with transportation by:
- Reducing the reliance on transport as a whole by promoting and increasing levels of active travel.
- Reducing ‘avoidable’ visits to healthcare facilities as a result of improvements to self-care, subsequently reducing the carbon footprint associated with the delivery of NHS services.Covid-19 recovery
We have continued to work effectively and provide our digital services to our clients throughout COVID-19, and have established means of working successfully in a completely remote environment. During COVID-19, many usual healthcare services have faced unprecedented disruption, with many patients unable to receive the care they need. This has caused a significant backlog on waiting lists across multiple healthcare pathways (i.e., elective surgery, cardiac rehabilitation, pulmonary rehabilitation), which are only continuing to grow as the true impact of the pandemic on multiple facets of population health becomes clear. Our digital service supports people waiting for surgery, treatment or rehabilitation to “wait well”. Rather than deteriorating whilst they wait, we empower people to take control of their health through their everyday movement. So when the time comes for surgery or rehabilitation, they are in the best shape possible, reducing complications and costs. In addition to this, physical activity is a key component of rehabilitation from COVID-19 itself, and as such, our service is being offered to those recovering from both ICU stays and long COVID to support a self-paced, gradual return to normal everyday activities. Our digitally-enabled service can also be offered as a fully-remote alternative to those who are in need of care but who perhaps would not have engaged with traditional services. This helps overcome a significant access barrier (i.e., rural locations, lack of transport to/from healthcare facilities), which has only been amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic and associated stay-at-home guidance. In this sense, our service is also able to help isolated individuals rebuild the confidence and physical capacity to leave the house following on from challenging months of lockdown, as well as providing an important level of social connectivity through the 1-2-1 Mentor telephone calls to support their reintegration into normal everyday life.Tackling economic inequality
We expand the therapy window, from just 1-2 hours of exercise per week, to include all ~112 hours of the waking week, and provide a personalised understanding of the value of movement in our daily routines and how to find opportunities to move more. This makes physical activity more accessible, removing the barriers to access associated with exercise (e.g., apparel, equipment, facilities and travel), and enabling people to choose how they want to fit physical activity into their lives, in a way that works for them. Our technology-enabled service is also accessible to all, has no barriers to age or mobility and is proven to engage hard to reach groups. 52% of users referred to our service through NHS pathways have been over the age of 65, in a range of 18 to 97 years. Through our expanding body of work to date, the service has also proven to be effective in areas of high deprivation, with individuals from each decile of the English Indices of Deprivation (Ministry of Housing, 2019), accessing the service. Tackling economic inequality is something we are strongly committed to, and we now include demographic analysis of deprivation deciles within all of our reports, to ensure our service continues to be both accessible and appealing to all.Equal opportunity
We are committed to reflecting and representing the diversity of the UK and to equal opportunities in employment. Our policies and practices aim to promote an environment that is free from all forms of unlawful or unfair discrimination and values the diversity of all people. At the heart of our commitment to equal opportunity, we seek to treat people fairly and with dignity and respect. We will take every possible step to ensure that no employee, individuals seeking employment with us, or any organisational partners will receive less favourable treatment (direct discrimination) or will be disadvantaged by requirements or conditions that cannot be shown to be justifiable (indirect discrimination) on the grounds of their: Age, Disability, Gender Reassignment, Marriage and civil partnership, Pregnancy and maternity, Race, Religion or belief, Sex, or Sexual Orientation. We recognise that the provision of equal opportunities in the workplace is not only essential working practice; it also makes sound business sense. Affording staff full dignity promotes good employee relations and satisfaction, and results in a motivated, productive and creative workforce. Our commitment to equal opportunities will help all those who work for us to develop their full potential, and resources of the workforce will be utilised fully to create an organisation of opportunity for all. In addition to our commitment to equal opportunity within our organisation, our technology-enabled service is proven to support people from all walks of life, including those living with a disability, to improve their self-care, health, wellbeing and productivity as part of the national workforce.Wellbeing
Physical activity is proven to slow the progression of frailty, is vital for the effective management of long-term conditions, reduces long-term health risks, and improves mental and physical health and wellbeing. It has also been highlighted as an important component of COVID-19 rehabilitation. Our service benefits the health and wellbeing of individuals with long-term conditions and on rehabilitation pathways, where physical activity is a key component, including those recovering from COVID-19. For many patients care has been restricted due to COVID-19, placing increasing importance on self-management. We care about helping everyone to better health and wellbeing, as such, in addition to the demographics outlined previously, our service can also be offered to those looking to age well and/or prevent future disease. We make everyday movement a medicine, helping our users to build active everyday habits and learn how every move matters to feel healthier, happier and stronger. Our patented technology blends cutting-edge science with one-to-one mentoring to accurately guide movement and support our users at every step of their lifestyle change. They will create healthy new habits that compliment their routine and make the most of their everyday life. KiActiv® focuses on identifying the value of movement in peoples’ daily routines and how to find opportunities to move more across all ~112 hours of the waking week. This is much more accessible than exercise, and enables patients to choose how they want to fit physical activity into their lives in away that works for them. As such, our approach has no barriers to age, mobility or environment, and is culturally sensitive.
