About Us

IM-purple

Providing intelligently enabled care that supports the whole healthcare ecosystem

Clinical evidence is in our DNA. Florence is designed by clinicians for patients and clinicians. The idea was conceived by Phil O’Connell around 2009 who teamed up with Dr Ruth Chambers OBE of NHS Stoke-on-Trent Primary Care Trust (part of the UK’s National Health Services). Over the next 10 years the Florence-team were focussed on gathering clinical evidence and cooperating and co-designing protocols with over 500 clinicians.

Given our ‘hard core’ research background, we now have over 100 independent clinical studies and 20 peer-reviewed journal articles demonstrating exceptional clinical outcomes for patients and exceptional ROI for healthcare teams.

From a base in the UK, Florence has expanded successfully to Australia and in early 2022 we set up an office in Portland, Maine in the US.

Our Mission

To be the world’s leader in proven, intelligently personalised digital solutions, designed to drive behavioural change and deliver better outcomes.

Why Florence?

We enable self-management and adherence through user-friendly, intelligent messaging that improves health outcomes – freeing up time and resources for clinicians and the healthcare ecosystem.

Awards and Certifications

Florence Intelligent Health Messaging is recognised as the leading light within Digital Healthcare Innovation.

Leadership

Ingolv Urnes

Ingolv Urnes

CEO & Chairman

Ingolv believes passionately that driving patient behavioural change and enabling self-management are the key to better healthcare – particularly for those patients suffering from multiple long-term conditions.  The cost of healthcare is accelerating.  To deliver better clinical outcomes and save clinical resources, the most cost-effective approach is to address the root cause.

Coaching and developing the people at Generated Health (=behaviour change!)  are Ingolv’s other passions.  He is a strong believer in building on strengths and providing continuous feedback.

Ingolv grew up in Norway and studied in Switzerland.  After university he spent a decade with Goldman Sachs in London, Frankfurt, and New York.

Then, almost 20 years ago, Ingolv founded his first health-tech company.  Over the years he has been involved in several successful healthcare start-ups and scale-ups, including Active Health Partners (health & absence management), Mobizio (mobile solution for doctors in the field) and ART (referral management). 

Ingolv is now focussed on working with the teams in the US, UK and Australia to deliver on the mission: To be the world’s leader in proven, intelligently personalised digital solutions, designed to drive behavioural change and deliver better outcomes.

Outside work, Ingolv spends his time keeping fit, gardening with his wife, and playing with two dogs (since the three kids have largely left home)

Macklin Gaynor

Macklin Gaynor

Director of Customer Success – US

I’m a Clinical Informaticist with a Master’s in US Public Health and I’ve held a wide array of clinical roles in behavioral health, pharmacy, and quality analytics. Each of these roles required new and creative ways to collect obscure information and translate it into something that made sense to people.

I see Informatics as much more than data and crunching numbers. To me, it’s assessing complex systems, like day-to-day healthcare delivery, and breaking that down into information that actually means something to all the people involved. Data analysis alone often discards the human element that is vital to understanding how systems really work.

This is why I’m so excited to be part of the team at Generated Health; we leverage simple SMS tech to deliver education and support for meaningful change to a massive audience; all it takes is the ability to text. The rest is our small team partnering with the people who deliver care to our communities. If we can make it a bit easier for them to stay connected to the patients they care for, then we’ve made a meaningful contribution to a very worthwhile cause.

Jennifer Miller

Jennifer Miller

Director of Business Development – US

Jennifer first became interested in digital health after volunteering with AmeriCorps for a small primary care clinic in San Francisco. She saw how many patients were struggling to manage their health and chronic conditions between doctor’s visits. It was then that she became convinced that care must extend into the home in a way that is culturally and digitally inclusive.

Jennifer first met Susan Woods, Generated Health Founder and President, finishing up a Masters in Health Informatics and Data Analytics. It was immediately clear that Florence was the simple, effective, patient-centered solution she had been dreaming of for so many years.

Before joining the Generated Health team, Jennifer spent the better part of the last decade working in wellness in New York City. When she’s not at work she enjoys weightlifting, teaching yoga, and roller skating around NYC’s beautiful parks.
