The status quo is not enough
Asking individuals to complete online standardised questions about their wellbeing is an efficient mechanism for producing data, but it is only a snapshot. These questionnaires are impersonal and can tell us little about people’s ongoing experience or how to support them through life’s ups and downs.
Our Solution
There is, however, another more effective way to monitor wellbeing. Quay Research has created an approach that places the individual at the centre of the process, giving them shared ownership of process and the data, and a stake in their own wellbeing. Boostbeing uses structured conversations and data analytics to nurture balance and self-confidence in everyone.
Boost Being helps individuals and those who support them to take a holistic approach to wellbeing through structured conversations around the five different elements of wellbeing:
⦁ Physiological indicators
⦁ Relationship indicators
⦁ Engagement indicators
⦁ Personal significance indicators
⦁ Scholastic indicators
(These indicators can be adjusted for different groups of people)
The individual can track and reflect on the fluctuations in their wellbeing, and benefit from one-to-one conversations with someone in their support network: a key worker, mentor, coach, or carer. The self-assessments are recorded, but the process – rather than the result – is key to building trust in a non-judgemental environment.

Boostbeing+ can be used by a variety of people including students, care-home residents, people with long-term conditions, veterans and by a range of organisations including charities, schools, sports clubs, for example. There is evidence from the work of Young Minds (2017) that for young people and young adults, a mentor taking an interest in their life reduces the risk of developing mental health concerns later on in life. A similar programme to Boostbeing+ was carried out for children at a leading International School and results saw a 65% improvement in overall happiness and a 21% improvement in examination results after a pilot and a full implementation of the scheme.
Boostbeing+ prioritises the 5 pillars of wellbeing through a systematic but caring approach. After the user has been inducted to the app with a mentor, they can access the app on their own and record their wellbeing on a regular basis with the aid of AI. Check-ins with a mentor are calendared, but AI will monitor in the background and raise flags with the mentor if further interventions or help are required. If wellbeing ‘red flags’ are raised, the mentor provide or signpost users to support.
BoostBeing+ can be applied to various groups of people:
⦁ The elderly (in care or at home)
⦁ Neurodiverse people
⦁ NHS long-term patients
⦁ Prisoners
⦁ University undergraduates
⦁ Active armed services personnel and veterans
⦁ Athletes, professional sports people and sports academy children
