Traditional methods are not going to get us where we need to go in order to take care of the population, help them to be less stressed, less traumatised and prevent them from waiting until a big event happens – where they have to be hospitalised – at which point it’s significantly more expensive to get them care.

Mental and physical health are deeply interlinked. Sometimes people are predisposed to depression, and they might encounter life events that trigger a depressive episode. This could lead to overeating, weight gain, and potentially illness, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, long term pain which then obviously becomes a vicious cycle.

Research globally has proved that self-awareness and having these improved self-management tools, leads to improved health outcomes. The earlier the detection, the early the intervention, and all of this increases better mental health outcomes.
