Working with the NHS to improve cardio-kidney-metabolic health and reduce patient care costs
Our award-winning, clinically-proven* digital platform helps patients with cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic (CKM) conditions to increase physical activity and improve health, reducing demand for under-pressure NHS services.
With a range of specialist programmes designed by expert physiotherapists - including digital rehabilitation, GLP-1-supported weight management support, and tailored content for transplantation and dialysis - we can help meet the increasingly complex needs of NHS patients with CKM diseases, helping to drive secondary prevention and tackle growing care costs.
Developed in partnership with world-leading clinicians, charities and research institutions
Proven to improve health for people with CKM conditions
Beam is scientifically proven to improve physical function, mental health, ability to self-manage health, fatigue, and reduce social isolation
Lowers the cost of CKM-related care by £580 per patient
By reducing hospital admissions, clinical appointments, medication spend and more
Our virtual classes are 88% cheaper than face-to-face services
Virtual classes that can be delivered at scale, with comparable outcomes, far more affordably than face-to-face

In the UK, chronic kidney disease affects 7.2 million people, diabetes 6 million people, and cardiovascular disease 7.2 million people, costing the NHS £23.8 billion collectively.
Rates of cardio-kidney-metabolic conditions are rising rapidly as the population ages and risk factors increase, placing strain on already-scarce NHS resources.
Physical inactivity and lifestyle pose a major challenge among this patient group. However, only 3 out of 72 NHS units currently offer specific physio-led rehab for those with CKM disease, due to a lack of workforce and constraints on budget.
Our cost-effective platform helps patients increase their physical activity and encourages better condition management - improving health and lowering demand on healthcare services.

Anthony - Patient
“Being able to freely access Beam has enabled me to extend my exercise routine by participating in a range of on-demand classes. I feel this has greatly improved my ability to exercise different muscle groups and has led to me feeling a much improved overall level of fitness. Some days it can be challenge to summon the enthusiasm to do a class, but the way Beam works always leaves you feeling glad that you did and keeps you coming back for more”
