Introducing Best-You
In 2010 our partnership started studying and co-designing ways to help people take more control of the things that are important to them, like time with the grandchildren, or being able to have a family, being less embarrassed about body identity the list is long and individual to each of us, we often call this Wellbeing. BEST-YOU offers you the support to change your lifestyle habits, like our weight activity, the amount of alcohol we drink, connecting with other people that can help and support , so you can achieve what’s important to you.
We refuse to settle for second best. We believe that all of us as individuals, communities and organisations can achieve great things that will go on to not only change our lives, but also the lives of others around us.
So what’s new in Best-You ?

Who have we worked with: a wide collaboration of 1000’s of people in communities “citizens”, patients, carers, commissioners, CCG’s, NHS Trusts, Public Health England and NHS England, AHSN’s, Charities and many more. We have developed an evidence based, behaviour change tool, with outcomes & results, a measurable lifestyle companion, even better, people on Best-You also meet in person in their communities via our groups and friends spaces.
Does it work?
Yes. In a resent controlled trial run by a university, we ask a group of people to take a journey around improving their activity. On average people recorded a massive 21% increase to 86 minutes a week , not only did they achieve that significant improvement in activity but 50% of the people in the trail tackled other lifestyle behaviours including alcohol consumption, healthy weight and to quit smoking. On average people on best you loose 3% of their body weight in 8 weeks, and reduce the drinking by 2-3 drinks when they do drink and have at least 2 days a week they don’t drink.
So why Best-You, because its built to support what’s important to you. We have learned very important lessons about how digital and technology plays a role in our whole lives, particularly in life style change to more healthy and happy habits, Best You employs the latest in behavioural science and digital user design, most importantly, as humans we need human to human support and Best-You enables just that.
