Thrive was developed through rigorous academic research into psychological and physical chronic condition prevention, psychosocial risk factors, and the powerful intersection between workplace hazards and long-term health outcomes.
Our platform translates peer-reviewed evidence on lead indicators into practical, de-identified intelligence for individuals, clinicians and employers. This enables early intervention that boosts longevity and for employers should reduce workers’ compensation claims, absenteeism, presenteeism, and chronic condition burden — while protecting the business bottom line.
Thrive is directly informed by the doctoral research of our founder, Dr Gillian Singleton (MBBS Hons, FRACGP, FARGP, MPH), PhD candidate at the University of Wollongong, School of Health and Society.
This work focuses on digital health innovations that could shift primary care from reactive treatment to proactive prevention — exactly what Thrive delivers.
The ePREVENT-360 Project
Empowering Patients. Enhancing PREVENTion.
Funded by the RACGP Foundation and HCF Research Foundation (2023 grant), ePREVENT-360 is a mixed-methods feasibility pilot study evaluating the Thrive digital platform in Australian general practice.
Led by Chief Investigator Dr Gillian Singleton, the project explores:
Insights from ePREVENT-360 have directly shaped the employer version of Thrive — particularly the focus on aggregated lead-indicator reporting, privacy-protected organisational risk profiles, and evidence-based strategies that address both individual health and workplace economics.

From Research to Workplace Results
The evidence is clear: psychosocial and lifestyle risk factors are not just predictors of future chronic health issues which impact longevity — they are powerful lead indicators for claims, lost time, and productivity drain. Thrive turns this science into action.
