About SMART Fit Note
Advancing clinical practice through intelligent technology and rigorous scientific evidence.
Our Mission
The Problem
GPs and Advanced Clinical Practitioners spend significant time writing fit notes - administrative work that detracts from patient care. Traditional approaches lack consistency, can miss important safety considerations, and create variance in clinical decision-making across practices.
Our Solution
SMART Fit Note uses evidence-based clinical logic to generate fit notes in seconds. We combine DWP guidance, occupational health expertise, and DVLA standards into a single intelligent tool. The result: faster decisions, safer outcomes, better clinical practice.
We believe GPs should spend time on what they do best: caring for patients. SMART Fit Note handles the fit note logic, so you can focus on clinical judgment and patient relationships.

About SMART Digital Health Products
SMART Digital Health Products is dedicated to bringing intelligent technology to general practice and occupational health. Our mission is to reduce administrative burden on clinicians while improving the quality and consistency of clinical decision-making.
We are founded on the principle that technology should serve clinical practice, not complicate it. Every feature in SMART Fit Note has been designed with busy GPs and ACPs in mind - if it doesn't directly improve your workflow or make your patient safer, we don't include it.
Our team combines clinical expertise, software engineering, and deep understanding of NHS workflows. We work closely with practices, occupational health specialists, and clinical governance bodies to ensure our tools meet the highest standards of safety and quality.
