With over 2.5 million people in the UK unable to work due to long-term illness, and 70% of those reporting physical issues such as back, neck, and limb pain, the impact on both individuals and the economy is significant. Lost economic output due to ill health costs the UK economy over £100 billion annually.
Additionally, around 20% of the UK population faces mobility challenges, with this figure rising to over 50% among retirees. These numbers are expected to increase, placing further strain on the social care sector.
Through innovative digital solutions, dbfb offers a way to bridge the gap between health challenges and timely support.
At dbfb, we’ve developed a Digital Wellbeing solution that brings together AI and connected technology to enhance health, independence, and quality of care across homes, workplaces, and communities.
Designed to meet the evolving needs of care homes, community services, and healthcare providers, our suite of solutions supports proactive health monitoring, reduces isolation through connected experiences, and empowers carers with real-time insights. By identifying issues early, reducing unnecessary travel, and promoting self-management, dbfb’s Digital Wellbeing solution helps deliver better outcomes for individuals, while remaining simple to deploy, secure by design, and adaptable to any environment.
All our wellbeing solutions are connected through a secure digital ecosystem. Data is encrypted and processed in compliance with GDPR, with no personal health information shared without consent. The platform can integrate with existing healthcare or occupational health systems, providing a joined-up view of wellbeing across environments.
