Problem
There are 19 million people in the UK with a chronic physical health condition and they are three times more likely than average to develop a mental health problem. This leads to poorer physical health outcomes, reduced wellbeing and costs the NHS up to £13 billion per year.
Solution
Our clinical experts incorporate five evidenced based therapies to provide accessible, affordable mental health support tailored to the needs of this community. Our AI driven app will capture data to build personalised pathways and deliver bitesize written, visual and audio content, live workshops and 1-2-1 support.
Business Model
Our app will run on a freemium subscription model, with additional commission-based income from 1-2-1 expert bookings.
Charity and corporate partnerships will generate further revenues from elements including training, funded subscriptions and white labelled content.
Competition
Smile is the first mental health app in the UK tailored specifically to the needs of people managing chronic physical health conditions.
Other digital competitors provide six week, fixed programmes whereas Smile can be accessed flexibly and as needed.
Meanwhile charities and the NHS are overwhelmed and provide limited therapies.
Team
Emma has lived experience of managing chronic physical health conditions and has studied an Msc in the psychology and neuroscience of mental health.
Faye is a chartered management accountant and has experience across finance and operations in high growth and health companies.

Traction

We have over 8,500 social media followers and have been featured in Newsweek, The Daily Express and The Observer.
