ABOUT US

Our Mission

We are on a mission to build resilience at a global scale.

The power of improved resilience and wellbeing in one person is significant – the effect flows through to their homes, partners, children, friends, colleagues, workplaces, and communities.

WHO WE ARE

Our thought leadership brings together insights across neuroscience, AI, technology, and in-person engagement.

 

This means Driven can help you with a specific goal – to maximise potential despite adversity.

 

Our extensive experience and research led us to establish an approach that inspires personal ownership and achieves lasting engagement. This is reinforced through insights into your business practices to create an optimised environment that supports staff resilience and growth. This means individuals become strong, and together you become even stronger.

Our vision

Driven is transforming preventative healthcare through an innovative approach to scientifically enhance the resilience of people and communities.

 

We are challenging the status quo of reactive healthcare. The current reactive approach has caused the cost of care to spiral out of control with no solution in sight. 300 million people struggling with depression, 260 million with anxiety, $16 trillion in mental health expenditure projected by 2030.

 

Our vision to reverse this trend is a virtual coach in the pocket of every person – this is Driven. Driven helps people proactively build mental and physical resilience, creating a new pathway for innovative preventative health.

“Global collaboration to build resilience is imperative for the sustainable advancement of our civilization”
