Founded in 2020 by neuroscientist Tim Routledge and marketing leader Tim Wade, Biostress Lab Ltd set sail from Wakefield, England, with a mission to revolutionise workplace well-being.
Biostress was founded with a vision to transform stress management in the workplace. The idea was born from a simple question: What if stress could be measured objectively and used to enhance both employee well-being and commercial productivity? From this concept, Biostress has developed a platform that not only tracks stress in real-time but also provides actionable insights to improve workplace environments and individual coping strategies.
Biostress leverages cutting-edge biometric technology through wearable devices that track physiological stress markers like heart rate variability, skin conductance and sleep patterns. This real-time data provides a comprehensive view of an individual’s stress levels, enabling personalised interventions. Their platform empowers organisations to make informed, data-driven decisions about workplace policies and interventions, ensuring effective and sustainable efforts in employee well-being.
Biostress significantly enhances organisational wellness through tailored programs like stress management workshops, mindfulness training, and personalised coaching. Their collaboration with Galliford Try, a leading construction group, demonstrated improved employee sleep quality and stress levels. Biometric monitoring and personalised stress reports, coupled with tailored management plans, led to better training, reduced absenteeism, fewer workplace accidents, and overall enhanced well-being.
Biostress is actively raising funds and forming partnerships to extend its global impact. With a vision to transform workplace stress management, they aim to create healthier work environments worldwide. As organisations increasingly recognise the importance of mental health, Biostress leads the charge, redefining corporate responsibility and forward-thinking employment in the 21st century.
