Elemental Software

Elemental Software was launched last year at NHS Expo 2016 by social innovators, Leeann Monk and Jennifer Neff, in response to work they were delivering at strategic and community level in the City of Derry, Northern Ireland, at a time when the city had a connected focus on improving health and wellbeing in local communities. Since its launch, the company has expanded from its base in Derry into Dubai, where it is delivering a wide range of work to reduce the risk of diabetes. In the UK, it is delivering a wide range of work including incorporating the Baby Box University to enable Halton CCG to arm women with a connection to all levels of guidance and peer support for a healthy birth and aftercare. Linking Elemental social prescribing software to this means the CCG can pilot a cohort of women and families to track their development and emotional health by keeping a live connection through a 'virtual mammy' which will connect and track users to the vast local and regional offer embedded into the Baby Box University. In Northern Ireland, 15 Healthy Living Centres will use Elemental to introduce over 28,000 people to diet and nutrition, exercise and mental health support and will measure the impact of referrals using Elemental's software. Elemental Software were announced as the winners of INVENT 2016 Enterprise Software Category and as NI's Propel Programme Business of the Year, runner up.
