Deliver a Net Zero NHS with my mhealth
We help clinical services hit their NHS Net Zero targets by using remote rehabilitation, monitoring, and consultation tools to reduce the need for face-to-face interventions. By incorporating digital therapeutics into NHS pathways, clinical services can support the delivery of remote rehabilitation, monitoring, and consultation. This approach facilitates a shift toward digital-first care, helping to reduce the requirement for face-to-face interventions, clinic visits, and patient travel.
Powering a Greener NHS through my mhealth digital therapeutics

my mhealth is committed to building a greener NHS
The NHS has set out to achieve net zero by 2040, with an ambition to reach an 80% reduction by 2028 to 2032, and we can help
In 2020 alone, we delivered over 225,000 remote rehabilitation and education sessions across the UK. This helped avoid an estimated 1,500,000 miles of travel, saving 465,000kg of CO2 emissions*
That’s the equivalent of planting over 220,000 fully grown trees
*Based on an average journey to and from rehabilitation classes of 6.7 miles in a medium size care averaging 46 mpg


The environmental value of my mhealth digital therapeutics
Our evidence-led approach is mapped to the GHG Protocol and audited by EcoVadis
We combine clinical excellence with a remote-first, zero-emission operating model to help the NHS achieve its Net Zero targets
By operating without physical offices or company vehicles, we’ve eliminated our direct carbon footprint -
ensuring our digital care is as kind to the planet as it is to our patients
Reduce inhaler and medicine wastage
Metered dose inhalers contribute 5% of the total NHS emissions¹.
Our platforms inhaler technique videos are proven to help patients correctly use their inhalers² which reduces inhaler wastage³.
my mhealth also contains educational content and monitoring tools that help reduce the risk of exacerbations⁴, further reducing the use of inhaled devices.

Reduce travel emissions
Our platform facilitates remote care and enables proven patient self-management which can reduce emissions caused by patients and clinicians travelling to healthcare centres.
Clinical tools such as video consultations⁵ and remote monitoring of patient populations⁶
reduces the need for regular face-to-face contact and travel.

Reduce hospital admissions
Our aim is to empower patients and clinical teams by providing cutting-edge, evidence-based digital therapeutics that positively impact long-term conditions.
By reducing the risk of hospitalisation⁷ our platform can decrease the energy consumption by hospitals and GP surgeries.
Did you know?
There are over 300 million patient consultations each year, with an average journey time of 20 minutes
These can contribute nearly 3 MILLION tonnes of CO2e to the NHS secondary carbon footprint
With my mhealth’s digital therapeutics many of these journeys will no longer be necessary, drastically cutting carbon emissions and helping achieve the net zero goal

A platform packed with the tools to achieve net zero carbon emissions
The my mhealth platform supports patients living with long-term conditions including:
We provide easy access to innovative technologies that can grow a greener NHS
Digital Rehabilitation
1.5 Million Miles Saved
Last year, we delivered over 225,000 rehabilitation and education sessions via our platform. By providing digital pulmonary and cardiac rehab proven to be as effective as face-to-face care, we enable Heart and COPD patients to recover safely from home while significantly reducing travel-related carbon emissions and supporting NHS Net Zero goals.
Remote Monitoring & Reviews
Reducing the Secondary Footprint
Annual reviews for long-term conditions such as COPD and Asthma can be carried out completely remotely on the my mhealth platform, further cutting travel emissions. By identifying the patients most at need, you can reduce the number of journeys made by both patients and clinical teams, supporting even more patients with the added convenience of remote care.
Eco-Education & Training
91% Reduction in Inhaler Errors
Our QISMET accredited online education courses for Diabetes reduce the need for physical travel to health services and significantly cut down on paper waste. Patients learn everything they need to manage their condition effectively from home, eliminating the carbon footprint of traditional classroom-based training.
Digital Inhaler Technique
91% Reduction in Inhaler Errors
Our platform provides patients living with COPD and Asthma instant access to instructional videos for every inhaler device. Access to these videos has been shown to correct 91% of inhaler errors, which is a key factor in reducing medicine wastage and lowering the carbon footprint of respiratory care.

Delivering a 'Net Zero' National Health Service
Understanding the link between climate change and human health, in October 2020, the NHS became the first healthcare provider in the world to commit to delivering a net zero national health system. This means improving healthcare while reducing harmful carbon emissions and investing in efforts that remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
We support the "For a Greener NHS" campaign and can help you achieve this important goal through our digital-first clinical platforms.

Our Commitment to Transparency
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at my mhealth. We are committed to measuring our impact, reducing our footprint, and supporting the long-term health of the planet alongside the patients we serve.
We ensure our corporate operations are as environmentally responsible as the digital products we build through independent verification and rigorous internal reporting.

Independent Verification
We are proud to be rated by EcoVadis, the global standard for business sustainability. This assessment provides a transparent view of our environmental, social, and ethical performance.

Measured Progress
We maintain a comprehensive Carbon Reduction Plan that ensures as our digital platform scales, we remain committed to reducing our operational emissions and achieving our long-term goal of Net Zero.

Ethical Governance
By operating as a fully remote organisation, we have eliminated the environmental impact of physical office spaces and daily commuting. Our footprint is purely digital, allowing us to focus our sustainability efforts on green-powered infrastructure and ethical, virtual operations.
For a detailed breakdown of our targets, methodologies, and progress, you can view our full statement below.
At my mhealth, sustainability is embedded in our purpose: to improve outcomes for people living with long-term conditions through clinically proven digital health solutions. As a fully remote digital health company, we operate a lean, low-impact business model, but we recognise that meaningful sustainability extends beyond emissions alone. Our approach is structured around the three core pillars of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) responsibility, aligned with the EcoVadis sustainability assessment methodology.
Environmental Responsibility
We are committed to minimising our environmental footprint, guided by the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. While our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are negligible due to our remote operating model (no offices or vehicles), we are actively addressing Scope 3 emissions—particularly those associated with:
- Cloud computing and data hosting
- Employee homeworking energy use
- Procurement and digital supply chain activities
- Occasional business travel
Key actions include:
- Partnering with cloud providers that operate on 100% renewable energy and publish verified sustainability data
- Encouraging staff to adopt low-carbon homeworking practices and supporting energy-efficient equipment choices
- Prioritising virtual engagement to minimise the need for travel
- Considering environmental performance in supplier selection, including use of ISO 14001-certified vendors
We are committed to supporting the NHS Net Zero by 2045 target and are actively exploring the adoption of a formal science-based emissions reduction target in line with UK national commitments.
Social Responsibility
As a digital health provider, social value is embedded in our products and services. Our platforms reduce health inequalities by making condition management more accessible, scalable, and equitable across geographies and demographics.
Our commitments include:
- Health equity: Our software is designed to improve access to care, particularly for underserved or remote populations.
- Workplace wellbeing: We support a flexible, remote-first culture that promotes mental health, work-life balance, and productivity.
- Diversity & inclusion: We are committed to inclusive hiring, equal opportunity, and maintaining a workplace culture that values every voice.
- Digital accessibility: Our applications are built with usability in mind, incorporating accessibility standards for those with visual, cognitive, or motor impairments.
Governance & Ethical Business Conduct
We maintain high standards of data governance, ethical decision-making, and compliance, all of which underpin trust with patients, clinicians, and partners.
Core governance principles include:
- Robust data privacy and security controls aligned with NHS Digital standards and UK GDPR
- Transparent reporting on ESG matters, including traceable evidence for all sustainability claims
- A Code of Conduct applicable to all employees and suppliers, covering ethics, integrity, and legal compliance
- Regular internal reviews to monitor ESG performance and identify areas for continuous improvement
Continuous Improvement & Reporting
We are working with EcoVadis to enhance the robustness and transparency of our sustainability programme. Our approach is evidence-led and supported by policies, documentation, and traceable performance indicators. We aim to:
- Monitor our sustainability performance annually
- Identify and implement measurable improvements across all ESG pillars
- Report publicly and internally on our progress
Conclusion
Sustainability is not a static goal for my mhealth—it is a continuous journey rooted in science, ethics, and impact. By embedding ESG principles into our business model, we aim not only to support a Net Zero NHS, but to drive long-term value for patients, partners, and the planet.
