The science behind our health products - JEMS

Most wellness programmes don’t work

Engagement drops within weeks
Repeated rewards lose their impact
Health outcomes don’t really change

SignpostMe Wellness is built differently

Daily check-ins build awareness and encourage engagement
Micro-actions create lasting habits
Real-time feedback turns intention into behaviour

One system. Four pillars. Real results.

Four pillars that shape your health — and shape each other. Backed by clinical evidence, personalised to you.

Joy

The driver of everything else

Positive psychological wellbeing is associated with 18–35% lower mortality risk (1)
Positive affect predicts lower mortality even in chronic disease populations (2)

We help you:

Notice and track emotional patterns
Build resilience through evidence-based interventions (3)
Create sustainable mental wellbeing habits

When your mindset improves, everything else gets easier.

Eat

Where prevention really begins

Poor diet contributes to ~20% of global deaths (4)
Nutrition directly impacts cognitive decline and sleep quality (5)

We help you:

Make practical, sustainable nutrition improvements
Connect food to energy, mood, and sleep
Build habits—not restrictions

What you eat shapes how you feel, sleep, and think.

Move

The most powerful, underused intervention

Physical activity reduces all-cause mortality by 20–31% (6),(7)
Even moderate activity improves cardiovascular and mental health (6)

We help you:

Build consistent daily movement
Stay motivated with visible progress
Adapt activity to your lifestyle, not the other way round

The most effective thing most people aren't doing enough of.

Sleep

The foundation most people overlook

Both short and long sleep durations are linked to increased mortality and cardiovascular risk (8)
Sleep directly impacts mood, appetite, and physical performance (5),(8)

We help you:

Improve sleep quality and routines
See how sleep affects everything else
Build recovery into daily life

Everything else gets harder when sleep slips.

The science behind JEMS

Why these four pillars work better together

Joy, Eat, Move and Sleep aren't separate parts of your health — they shape each other, every day.

Poor sleep affects appetite regulation, mood, and activity levels (5),(8)
Emotional wellbeing influences long-term health outcomes and behaviour adherence (12)
Physical activity improves both sleep quality and mental resilience (6),(7)
Nutrition impacts cognitive function, energy, and metabolic health(4),(5)

When these habits work together, the benefits compound. That's how small daily actions become long-term outcomes.

How we compare

Most wellness programmes	SignpostMe Wellness
Tracks activity	Changes behaviour
Rewards participation	Delivers outcomes
Treats habits in isolation	Connected habits as one system
Engage you for weeks	Build habits that last

We’ve built SignpostMe differently to other wellness programmes, using our years of clinical experience to make a programme that delivers results.

We believe that behaviour — not activity — drives health outcomes. Without habit formation, engagement drops. Without integration, results plateau. So we built a system that does both.

Our system is used to power our app, SignpostMe Well, which is available with every SignpostMe policy.

Health and wellness connected

A healthier workforce. Measurable results.

Most workplace wellness programmes report engagement. SignpostMe reports outcomes.

The problem we solve: Healthcare costs are rising. Benefits engagement is falling. And most wellness programmes can't show what difference they made.

What SignpostMe Wellness delivers:

Preventive health impact, grounded in clinical evidence
Higher engagement through behaviour science, not gimmicks
Workforce wellbeing you can actually measure — and report on
