Our Story
Two friends. Two dads. One mission.
Serial founders Topi Joonas and Ryan Scott have built successful businesses together for years. Two friends, two dads, both entrepreneurs with a habit of fixing what annoys them. Now they’ve built the HLTH Band.
Where it started
It all started with a cardiac event
Topi’s dad survived. But it shook the whole family. Staying on top of your health wasn’t a someday plan anymore. Now it was everything.
Topi's dad
A pricey smartwatch that told him next to nothing
His dad had worn his smartwatch every single day. It buzzed with messages. It counted steps. And it died every night, exactly when it was supposed to be tracking his health.
Ryan's grandma
Told by her GP to track her health. Priced out at £300.
The device her GP recommended cost over £300. She couldn’t afford it, so she never started. Just one month later she contracted a virus which paralyzed her from the neck down. She also survived, but the damage was already done.
The mission
Two families. Same problem. Real health tracking was either a hassle or too expensive. And after becoming first-time dads, the mission was never more clear: build a tracker they could trust themselves, and that people can actually afford.
The build
A year, £200,000, and
six trips to the factory floor
Topi and Ryan didn’t outsource. They went directly to the factories behind the world’s biggest wearable brands, and with the help of top engineers formerly behind the Amazon Halo, they found the chip suppliers, the engineering talent, and the data scientists they needed for the mission.
They lost count of how many prototypes they went through. But all of it led to exactly what they set out to build: accurate, lightweight, comfortable, and waterproof, so it never comes off. No screen to distract you and 30 days on a single charge. A truly affordable dedicated fitness tracker.

We could have charged a monthly fee. Everyone else does. But the people who need this most are exactly the ones who shouldn’t have to keep paying just to see their own health data.

No screen. All signal.
Why the data is actually different
A smartwatch spreads its power across a bright screen, apps, and constant notifications. The HLTH Band has no screen. So nearly all its power goes to one job: the sensors.
It reads your body far more often than a watch ever could, tracking blood pressure, heart rate, HRV, and sleep using the same multi-wavelength light sensors found in GP clinics. More readings, taken more consistently, build a clearer picture of your health over time, so you can finally trust what you see.
Our philosophy
What we still believe
HLTH products are intentionally screen-free and subscription-free. We remove distractions, reduce friction, and give you full access from day one, because better health shouldn’t come with monthly fees or constant notifications.
