Mission
The Health Impact Alliance: Transforming smart health data accessibility and utilization through collaboration. Our mission is to inspire informed lifestyle choices, empowering individuals, clinicians, doctors, policymakers and governments to elevate global health outcomes.
Industry Challenges
Solution
The Health Impact Alliance (HIA) is inviting stakeholders from all areas of the healthcare industry to collaborate on large-scale projects.
Through the collaboration of HIA members that encompasses chipset developers, manufacturers, brands, research teams, medical institutions, healthcare enterprises, policy makers, and governmental agencies; projects are more likely to find the necessary commercial and channel partnerships critical to bring leading edge healthcare technology to a global audience.
This connection amongst organizations of all sizes and capabilities in the healthcare sector increases the efficiency and affordability of creating, testing and deploying health solutions. By contributing our joint expertise, we can work together to build healthcare approaches catered towards the current and future needs of the human population.
Uniting global leaders in smartwatch manufacturing, research, and adoption, we harness millions of cohort data points to revolutionize healthcare. Our goal is to lower costs worldwide by enhancing lifestyles, deepening human understanding, and promoting preventive medicine, ultimately fostering greater efficiency and more cost-effective healthcare solutions.
Collaborate to bring new advanced products and analytics to a global audience in healthcare.
Unite manufacturers, sensor producers, SOC developers, manufacturers, brands, data analytics companies and medical test facilities to work together in bringing cutting edge smart wearable technology to a global audience.
Collaboratively exchange healthcare data and analytics resources.

Current HIA Active Projects
OneCare Smartwatch
Co-development of WiFi Smart Wearables Modules, a cutting-edge innovation resulting from joint initiatives within the HIA. The modules are specifically designed to support WiFi and BLE connectivity, making them ideal for use in care homes, hospitals, and senior care facilities. With a strong emphasis on seamless connectivity and extended battery life, the module development marks a significant milestone in the evolution of healthcare product development within the Alliance.
Alert Escalation
The HIA Initiative for Alert Escalation, developed in partnership with BellPal. This effective solution empowers caregivers, families, and emergency services to efficiently manage alerts generated from sensor data. The system can be customized with white-labeling options, allowing for seamless integration into existing care protocols. With this innovative solution, healthcare providers can ensure timely and effective responses to critical alerts, enhancing patient safety and improving overall care outcomes.

Cohort Data Comparatives
This revolutionary program provides access to powerful tools such as Bio Boost, a comprehensive analysis of medication effectiveness or lifestyle changes, by comparing demographic and real-time sensor data of individual users or groups. Healthcare providers can offer patients valuable insights into the efficacy of their treatments, empowering them to make informed decisions about their health based on data-driven comparisons.
Summary
Why?
The Health Impact Alliance aims to unite leading technology, research and medical institutions in a collaborative endeavour, focused on unlocking valuable health insights for individuals and elevating their quality of life. This will be achieved by providing easily accessible, comparative health data that informs and inspires positive lifestyle choices for the greater public.
How?
Create working groups to develop scientifically tested wearable devices with measurements tested by the world's leading medical experts and make the resulting group data available through community dashboards
What?
Uniting global leaders in smartwatch manufacturing, research, and adoption, we harness millions of cohort data points to revolutionize healthcare. Our goal is to lower costs worldwide by enhancing lifestyles, deepening human understanding, and promoting preventive medicine, ultimately fostering greater efficiency and more cost-effective healthcare solutions.
Improving Health Outcomes:
Regular monitoring can lead to early detection of potential health issues, allowing for timely intervention and better management of chronic diseases, which is particularly important for seniors.
Enhancing Quality of Life:
Smart products can monitor not only physical health but also daily activities and behaviors, which can help in creating a more comfortable and safe living environment for seniors.
Reducing Healthcare Costs:
By preventing emergencies and hospital readmissions through better management of chronic diseases and timely intervention, it can lead to significant cost savings for both seniors and the healthcare system.
Supporting Caregivers:
Real-time monitoring and alerts can help caregivers, whether they are family members or professional caregivers, to respond quickly in case of an emergency and manage the daily care of seniors more effectively.

Promoting Independence:
With smart monitoring, seniors can live independently for longer, as they can be closely monitored without the need for constant physical supervision.
Encouraging Collaboration:
Forming an alliance encourages collaboration among various stakeholders, including healthcare providers, technology companies, caregivers, and the seniors themselves, leading to the development of more comprehensive and effective solutions.
Fostering Innovation:
Collaboration within the alliance can lead to sharing of ideas, resources, and data, fostering innovation and leading to the development of new technologies and approaches to senior care.
Ensuring Standardization:
An alliance can help in creating standardized protocols and guidelines for monitoring and responding to the health data collected by smart products, ensuring consistency and effectiveness in care provided across different settings.
