For employers and benefits providers
A health coach that gets your wellbeing offer used
Pal coaches your people on food, activity, sleep and their goals, on the app and on WhatsApp, and points them to the support you already provide at the moment it helps.

What Pal does for your people
Points people to what you already offer
Your EAP, occupational health, physio, mental health support, financial wellbeing and benefits portal. Pal brings them up in conversation when they are relevant, so people use the support you already pay for.
A coach for the whole person
Food logged from a photo, a sentence or a voice note. Pal joins it up with activity, sleep and heart data from Apple Health or Health Connect, and plans the week around it.
Built around their goals and your calendar
A step challenge, a charity 10k or a wellbeing month: Pal turns it into a weekly plan for each person, alongside their own goals.
Where your people already are
On the app and on WhatsApp, with the same memory, and live voice calls for a proper chat. Check-ins arrive at the right time rather than as generic reminders.
Signposting
Your services, at the right moment
You share what your people can use. Pal remembers it, and when someone mentions a bad back, a stressful month or money worries, it points them to the right service with the details they need.

Goals and events
Built around each person
- Their own goals, whether that's losing weight, more energy, training for a race or sleeping better. Pal sets targets and three things to focus on each week.
- Events to work towards, like a 10k, a hike or a wedding. Pal works back from the date.
- Built for real life: GLP-1 medicines, perimenopause and menopause, and injuries and niggles.
- Tracking in seconds. A photo, a sentence or a voice note, and nothing's logged until they check it.
Step challenges and wellbeing months
Your challenge, in everyone's week
Pal works alongside the step challenge platform you already use. It turns your campaign into a personal plan for each person, and keeps it going once the leaderboard closes.
-
Tell Pal about it
The dates, the targets, how to sign up and the team rules. Pal can also sign people up if your platform allows it.
-
It becomes part of their week
Each person's plan gets walks and activity that fit their week and their starting point, and Pal checks in as they go. Steps come from Apple Health or Health Connect.
-
Teams keep each other going
A team becomes a Pals Group with one link, so colleagues can send kudos and nudges. Each person chooses what their Pals see.
-
The habit outlasts the challenge
When the month ends, the coaching carries on, so the extra steps become part of normal life.

For employee benefits providers
Add a coach to your platform
Benefits work best when people know they exist. Pal gives every member a coach that talks to them every week, and points them to the rest of what you offer.
Your brand, or co-branded
Pal can carry your name, colours and tone of voice, or sit alongside your client's brand. A fully re-branded version already runs on the same platform.
A front door to everything on your platform
Give Pal your catalogue of benefits and services, and it points each person to the right one. With custom tools, it can sign people up or make a referral too.
Engagement you can show your clients
Aggregated, anonymised reports on how many people are active and what they're working on. Never anyone's individual data.
We run the coaching
The coaching, the safety rules and the support are ours. You choose who gets it and how it is branded.
Private by design
Nothing individual is shared
Employers and providers see aggregated, anonymised reports only. Chats, logs and health data stay with the person.
Consent first
Health data is only used with each person's explicit consent, under UK data protection law. We support your DPIA.
Safe by default
Pal gives wellbeing guidance, not medical advice. If someone mentions a crisis, it replies with UK helplines rather than coaching.
How a pilot works
-
Scope
We agree who it's for, the services Pal should point people to, how it's branded and how we'll measure it. A step challenge or wellbeing month is a good place to start.
-
Launch
Your people get Pal on the app and WhatsApp. We handle the coaching, the safety rules and the support, and give you the words for your launch comms.
-
Review
You get an aggregated, anonymised report on how it went, never anyone's individual data. Then we decide together what comes next.
Questions
Does Pal replace our EAP or occupational health?
No. Pal is a wellbeing coach, and its job is to get people to the services you already provide. It isn't a medical device or a crisis service: if someone mentions self-harm or a crisis, Pal replies with UK helplines rather than coaching.
Can it run alongside our step challenge platform?
Yes. Pal doesn't replace it. People keep using the challenge platform as they do now, and Pal reads the same steps from Apple Health or Health Connect, builds the challenge into their week and keeps them going after it ends.
How do people get it?
They download Pal and set up their goals in about two minutes, and their access is unlocked through their work email. From then on they can talk to Pal in the app or on WhatsApp, whichever they prefer.
Will we see individual people's data?
No. You only ever get aggregated, anonymised reports. Nobody's chats, logs or health information are shared with their employer, or with a benefits provider.
What about data protection?
Pal runs under UK data protection law, and health data is only used with each person's explicit consent. We'll support your DPIA and give your information governance team what they need. Our privacy policy lists every provider we use.
We are a benefits provider. Can we offer Pal to our clients?
Yes. Pal can be white-labelled under your brand or co-branded with each client, and it can point people to everything else on your platform. Let's talk about how it fits your offer.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the number of people and how much branding you want. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll scope a pilot with you, starting with a campaign such as your next step challenge if that helps.
