Evidence, applied to each individual

Every EXI prescription is based on the latest clinical evidence and guidelines including the World Health Organization (WHO), National Institute for Health and Care Evidence (NICE), American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) & Exercise is Medicine®.

Instantly collating and applying pertinent evidence and data for each individual, EXI is the SaMD – software as a medical device – that delivers safe, effective, personalised physical activity prescriptions.

EXI empowers healthcare professionals worldwide to prescribe physical activity as quickly, effectively and confidently as they currently do medication across 23 long-term conditions:

Anxiety, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue, COPD, dementia, depression, diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2), fibromyalgia, chronic pain, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, multiple sclerosis, obesity, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, Parkinson’s disease, peripheral arterial disease, stress and stroke.

Scientifically proven

We partner with healthcare providers and academic institutions to demonstrate the health and economic impact of digitally-prescribed physical activity interventions. Where we are not bound by a confidentiality agreement, we are happy to share high-level details of this evidence.

Created by experts, backed by science

Our expert team rigorously examine the most up-to-date evidence and clinical guidance and embed it within the EXI platform. This is combined with analysis and application of powerful behaviour change techniques to maximise adherence and positive health outcomes.

Clinical results that can scale:

We’re committed to ongoing trials and research, continually strengthening our evidence base in partnership with multiple clinical and academic institutions. We’re proving that digital prescription of physical activity is an exact science: a targeted yet scalable means to improve population health.

In clinical trials, results achieved by EXI members after 12 weeks include:

If physical activity were a drug, we would refer to it as a miracle cure, due to the great many illnesses it can prevent and help treat.

The information on the patients was really fascinating and a useful tool to identify the [people] motivated, ambivalent or not ready to make a lifestyle change.  What they say in the consultation and what they then do after enrolling in the programme is so useful to me, so I know which tactic I need to adopt when I next speak to them, whether that is putting on the brakes and working them up more or stepping on the gas for those in a determined place.

EXI is a good conscience on my shoulder. It allows me to monitor what I am doing, and the linked GPS tracker is really handy to know how far I have walked. Thank you for your encouragement, the messages are rewarding and make you reflect how to go beyond a bronze star. With leukemia and reactive arthritis, I need a bit of a push, but I also need to watch myself!

I have found EXI very straightforward to use and it has definitely made me more active. The app also links with other apps so any other activity you do shows in EXI. Keeping a track on all your stats is very handy as you see a week-by-week account of where you are. Motivational messages on your activity target are really good as it does give you a little buzz to carry on.

To say that EXI has changed my life is an understatement. 19 weeks ago, I was overweight and incredibly unfit. Then I joined EXI and was hooked. Having a workout plan tailored to me has been a crucial part of my success.  Knowing that my health issues are being factored in gave me the confidence to throw myself into this. If you’re considering downloading an exercise app, I strongly recommend this one.

Physical activity works

There is now overwhelming evidence that any physical activity is beneficial for both physical and mental health, and that more activity is better. Additionally, for individuals with long-term health conditions, there is global scientific and medical consensus that the benefits of increasing physical activity far outweigh the risks. As a result, a progressive activity programme that’s tailored to individual health and fitness conditions – incorporating aerobic and strengthening exercises and reducing sedentary time – is recommended by every major health body as a safe, effective strategy to reduce morbidity and mortality and improve quality of life for those with long-term conditions.

Digital interventions works

Not only are digital interventions highly scalable, they are also perceived by multiple populations to be both useful and acceptable. Systematic reviews of digital interventions indicate that physical activity levels, motivation and intention to exercise – as well as awareness of physical activity goals – all increase following the use of apps to support behaviour change. Further systematic review evidence shows that interventions using physical activity tracking are safe and effective at increasing physical activity at a clinically significant level, across a wide range of age groups and clinical and non-clinical populations.

EXI Works

We explore the latest theoretical perspectives and cutting-edge research to identify clusters of behaviour change techniques that are shown to be most effective in changing behaviour and engaging individuals with digital interventions. We build these into EXI to maximise adherence and positive health outcomes.

Clinical Trials

EXI is committed to scientific research, advancing digital health, empowering healthcare professionals to reinvent the management of long-term medical conditions.

We are proud to partner with innovative, forward-thinking researchers to demonstrate the clinical value of our platform to patients and clinicians, and its real-world integration into the health ecosystem.
