New Year, New Evidence
In January 2026, Vitalise are running an exclusive Proof of Concept for UK organisations already investing in Employee Wellbeing initiatives.
If you're reading this, your organisation is already spending on employee wellbeing - but are you facing the same challenges as others we speak to?
- Annual engagement surveys show stress is high - but that's lagging data.
- Absence figures show who's already burned out - but it's too late to prevent it.
- Self-reported wellness app usage is biased - the most stressed employees don't engage.
What our clients tell us they need is real-time, objective data to prove the ROI on your investments and enable targeted interventions.

Real-Time Stress Monitoring. Objective Data. Measurable ROI.
Know Where Stress Lives
Organisational stress heat map shows which teams, departments, or locations are experiencing the highest stress levels - in real-time, not in last year's survey.
Identify Risk Before a Crisis
Individual stress tracking to flag teams and employees showing sustained high stress up to 14 days before they typically call in sick or disengage.
Prove Wellness ROI
Measure the impact of your wellness programs with objective data. Show your board that for every £1 spent on wellbeing, you're seeing £X stress reduction value.
This POC isn't designed for everybody and that's the point
We've spent 6 months researching UK organisations that are genuinely leading in workplace wellbeing. You were selected if your organisation:
✓ Already invests in employee wellness
✓ Operates in a high-stress industry
✓ Has 50-150 employees
✓ Is headquartered in the UK in Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Bedfordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, or London
✓ Wants to demonstrate ROI on wellness spend to boards, regulators, or stakeholders
✓ Is ready to be data-driven about employee wellbeing

Where's the scientific evidence?
University of Nottingham demonstrated the scientific viability of Vitalise as a stress data capture, categorisation, and monitoring tool by running a 30-day pilot during November and December 2025 with 60 faculty staff across a broad spectrum of internal teams and roles.
When asked to comment on the initial findings of the study, William Tyne, Teaching Fellow in Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Nottingham said:
"A primary focus of our analysis is biometric alignment: determining the correlation between subjective psychological stress (how participants feel) and the physiological indicators captured by the app (what the data says). Early interview data suggests high engagement; participants found the data visualisation compelling."

Final Reporting (Week 6)
Organisational stress heat map. Team and individual insights (privacy-protected). Temporal stress patterns (time of day/week). ROI validation for existing wellness programs. Recommendations for interventions. 60-minute presentation to stakeholders.
BONUS DISCOUNTS

£299 one-time set-up fee plus £7.99 per employee per month
Example Pricing:
- 30 employees: £299 + £239.70 = £538.70
- 50 employees: £299 + £399.50 = £698.50
- 100 employees: £299 + £799 = £1,098
Total investment is less than the cost of one stress-related sick day (UK average: £950 per absence)
Need clarifications?
Why only selected organisations?
We want to give each POC participant dedicated attention and support. Running with a broadly diverse range of unqualified companies would compromise the quality of insights and partnership we can provide. Think of this as an intensive pilot program, not a mass rollout – that will come late in the year!
What if my employees don't want to be monitored?
Great question - and a common one. Participation is completely opt-in. In our experience most employees are enthusiastic, when you explain:
- It's for their benefit (early stress detection and support)
- Data is private and anonymized at manager level
- No video recording - just real-time biometric analysis
In our recent study program, we saw 90%+ voluntary participation rates.
Can we start in February instead of January?
Yes, absolutely. While we're positioning this as a "New Year" program for momentum, if February timing works better for your organisation, we can accommodate that. Just let us know when we speak.
What happens after the 30-day POC?
You'll have several options:
- Expand: Roll out to more teams or organisation-wide
- Continue: Keep the pilot cohort going with month-to-month pricing
- Pause: Take the insights and implement them, then revisit in Q2/Q3
- End: If it's not a fit, no long-term commitment required
Most organisations choose to expand after seeing the data, but there's no obligation.
How much time will this require from our team?
Minimal. Here's the breakdown:
- HR/People Team: 2-3 hours (initial setup call + final presentation)
- Managers: 30 minutes (onboarding briefing)
- Employees: 5 minutes (initial setup) + 1-2 minutes per stress check (voluntary)
We handle the heavy lifting.
How do you calculate ROI?
We use a combination of:
- Stress reduction metrics: Percentage decrease in average stress levels
- Preventative value: Number of high-risk individuals identified early x cost of absence avoided
- Program optimisation: Effectiveness of existing wellness programs (engagement increase, usage optimisation)
- Productivity correlation: Stress levels vs. performance metrics (if you share)
The ROI report is included in your final deliverable.
What if we're already working with another wellness provider?
Perfect! Vitalise is designed to complement, not replace, existing programs. Think of us as the measurement layer that proves your other initiatives are working. Many of our clients use Vitalise alongside their existing wellness stack.
Can we choose which teams participate?
Yes, absolutely. During the preparation consultation, we'll discuss which teams would benefit most. Common approaches:
- High-stress teams: Clinical staff, trading floors, development teams during sprints
- Representative sample: Cross-section of departments for org-wide baseline
- Pilot department: One team as proof of concept before wider rollout
