Services are overburdened

Mental health services are massively overburdened, which can often lead to long wait times, lower clinical outcomes, and poor service user satisfaction scores.

The COVID-19 pandemic is causing a parallel outbreak of depression and anxiety, which care providers must manage appropriately. The Royal College of Psychiatrists warn of a “tsunami” of mental illness. The health and technology industries must meet this challenge together.

Existing solutions are outdated

Existing digital solutions are inflexible and have low engagement rates. They claim the title of ‘digital therapeutic’, but ultimately, they are no substitute for the skills of a human therapist.
