Can you tell us a bit about your business?
We sell an integrated API that helps customers build more empathetic and aware health and well-being products. Our powerful machine learning models help our customers understand how their users uniquely think and feel at scale, bringing them closer to positive health outcomes faster.
What’s the backstory for your business idea?
The early idea for the company came from a history of mental health struggles personally and within family, the communication of how we think and feel I felt important to building successful interventions and care strategies. This idea bloomed when coming across the research and development of the digital phenotyping space and how we can use passively collected data from the devices we use daily in order to understand behavioural patterns associated with changes in mental state.
What programmes, BOOKS, learning or mentoring have been of assistance so far?
