About Us
Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) disease - where heart disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes and obesity co-exist and exacerbate each other - affects over 1 billion people worldwide, and is a growing public health emergency placing increasing strain on healthcare services.
While there is no cure, helping people with CKM conditions to increase physical activity levels and improve their lifestyles can support wellbeing.
That is why co-founders Katie Bell, a tech entrepreneur, and Professor Sharlene Greenwood, a consultant physiotherapist and exercise professor, came together to create Beam.
Our mission is to provide access to exercise and education to all people with cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic conditions around the world.
