WellGiving, a platform designed to improve the wellbeing of employees through fitness and fundraising, has today announced its shortlisting in the annual HealthTech 50 rankings.
They are amongst a total of 108 shortlisted companies headquartered in the UK, celebrating the most innovative start-ups, scale-ups and established technology firms with a focus on original tech for personal and preventative healthcare.
The final HealthTech 50 ranking is due to be published on Monday 15th August, and will be decided through combination of reader votes and judging panel choices. Reader voting is already in progress, and closes 24th July, while the expert panel of judges include Avi Mehra MD, co-founder of Doctorpreneurs, Leontina Postelnicu, head of health and social care for techUK, and Jonathan Symcox, editor of BusinessCloud.
Speaking on the news of WellGiving’s shortlisting, creator and founder, Paul Rhodes, said: “We are thrilled to have been shortlisted for this year’s HealthTech 50, alongside so many other creative and innovative companies.
“We have worked incredibly hard to make the WellGiving platform a real solution for businesses who want to connect and engage their staff, improve the mental and physical wellbeing of their employees, and make positive impacts through corporate giving and their CSR strategies. Receiving recognition for the immense progress the WellGiving project has made in such a short time is beyond amazing!”
Developers of WellGiving, Green Gorilla Apps, are industry experts in the development of mobile and online platforms, and worked closely with Chief Executives, HR leaders and managers from corporations both large and small to create the platform.
Following a successful beta stage in 2021, WellGiving launched in January 2022 with the aim of creating a platform that would allow companies to improve the mental and physical wellbeing of their staff through the gamification of physical activity, while also giving businesses the chance to raise funds for charities that were hit hard during the pandemic. The platform is now on track to raise in excess of £1 million for charities across the UK and beyond.
