- To enable proactive, preventative support and care by illuminating the whole person, including and beyond their medical data points;
- To help providers make more informed decisions, to the benefit of all those in their care – as well as their staff, and all those who expect safety and value for money from their services;

VUIT Paints People, not Patients
Without this shift, our health economy is fundamentally unsustainable – leading to disastrous effects on the wider economy. We are in a race that medicine cannot win.
The required shift depends on prioritising initiatives that empower people to live healthier lives.
Enabling this empowerment requires a much deeper understanding of the wider wellbeing of the population than that provided by health & care data alone.
As the curator of the most powerful repository of usable information about the health, wellbeing, environments and lifestyle data for the UK population, VUIT exists to provide this critical insight.
Our purpose is to...
- enable long term improvements to healthy life expectancy;
- encourage those with ambition to thrive and achieve;
- equip families and communities to support one another;
- allow local models of care to evolve and spread;
- assist providers to deliver maximum impact from their talent and resources;
- understand, value and involve the capability and impact of the voluntary;
- empower people to live healthier lives and, ideally, to die well.
That is what VUIT values, and why we exist.
“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river.
We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.”
