BioStress Lab

BioStress Lab Ltd, founded in 2020, offers a stress management platform that utilizes biometric data to enhance employee well-being and productivity. The company was co-founded by neuroscientist Tim Routledge and marketing leader Tim Wade in Wakefield, England. The founders' backgrounds in neuroscience and marketing respectively, spurred the idea of objectively measuring stress to improve both employee health and commercial performance.

The company's core offering is a platform that uses wearable devices to track physiological markers of stress, such as heart rate variability and sleep patterns. This data provides employees with a personalized view of their stress levels and offers actionable insights for improvement. For organizations, the aggregated, anonymous data helps identify workplace stressors, enabling data-driven decisions on policies and interventions. The business model is B2B, serving corporate clients by providing the tools to measure and manage employee stress, with the goal of increasing productivity, reducing absenteeism, and improving staff retention. BioStress Lab offers a three-stage program: Benchmark, Improve, and Optimize, which includes individual and organizational stress reports, personalized management plans, and ongoing monitoring to measure return on investment.

The company has received funding from an angel investor and an accelerator program. It has worked with clients such as Galliford Try, Bupa, and Honda, demonstrating positive outcomes like improved sleep quality and reduced stress levels among employees.
