Our Story
Our founders first recognised the incredible potential of digital health treatments in 2011 when they connected their backgrounds in web development with efforts to improve their own mental health.
Wellmind Health has pioneered Digital Treatments as a Service (DTaaS) with our proprietary cloud-based platform, which is designed exclusively for scalable development, deployment and delivery of behavioural change programs.
We take great pride in the outstanding user feedback our programs generate and the regulatory compliance accreditations they receive. Our drug-free digital treatments are class 1 medical devices and maintain international recognized standards for clinical safety, data protection, technical security, interoperability, usability and accessibility.
Many millions of people experience mental health issues and suffer from chronic pain on a daily basis. Depression, stress, anxiety, addiction and chronic pain take their toll. They have a deep impact on individual lives, careers and futures, affect partners and family members, and require significant levels of care and support from health services. Whether accessed via clinicians, employers or by individuals themselves, our digital treatments are here to help people take control and lead a better quality of life.
The Platform
Our platform is unique, designed exclusively for the scalable development, deployment and delivery of digital treatments and the reporting of their effectiveness with real-time clinical data.
The platform's user-friendly secure web-based Management Portal delivers best-in-class functionality and world-leading clinical data. It enables clinicians and therapists to manage program participants, monitor engagement and satisfaction in real time, and report on their self-assessed health outcomes using a variety of clinical outcome measurements at granular and aggregated levels.
Security, SAFETY AND INTEROPERABILITY
The platform fully complies with the regulatory standards for Class 1 medical device deployment in health and social care settings.
It offers a fully featured, extensible API, with role-based permissions that enable integration with healthcare systems. It's security-focused, cloud-based architecture adheres to strict security, compliance, and risk management controls.

HEAD OF COMMUNICATIONS
“We know that employee stress and anxiety can come from any angle – at both work and home – but we also know that talking therapies are not suited to everyone. Making Be Mindful available to all our staff has provided a highly effective, self-help solution they can access anonymously and in their own time.”
"I've had some good feedback from patients. It's particularly helpful as a precursor to a pain clinic referral as it's something they can start on immediately and I don't feel like I've just left them waiting."
"I've found the uptake of Be Mindful to be excellent. The provider is extremely efficient & accommodating. The platform allows me to see participant progress & engagement with simple reporting, saves me time & demonstrates impact to commissioners. Most importantly, practitioners find it a useful tool to move people closer to work by helping them better manage their mental health"
"Considering the fast-paced nature of our industry and the mental strains of the ongoing pandemic, we knew we needed to do something that would promote mental health among our employees. After demonstrating the platform to our internal 'ambassadors', it became clear that Meditainment would suit us perfectly."
"Be Mindful is a really helpful and creative way for us to appeal to a wider client demographic within our IAPT service. Clients have benefitted from being able to access a structured online course in the comfort of their own home. We have been really pleased with the service and would recommend to other IAPT providers."
"We currently have a pilot programme in operation, the system is easy to use for administration/enrolment of participants and our nominated contact Rebecca is always available for assistance and is very helpful"
"The online service quickly became an important part of the pain management programme, sometimes as a stand alone intervention and sometimes alongside other courses of treatment."
"We always enjoyed speaking to the Wellmind Health technical team - having great conversations that explored possibilities and clarified exactly how the systems would work together. It's been a really enjoyable and productive partnership."
"The staff at Wellmind Health have been a pleasure to work with, their service has been first class - prompt, professional and personable. The course has been well received by my colleagues and our customers who have completed it."
"The online programme enables patients to engage with education quickly. Since COVID-19, it really has been a godsend. Following government guidelines, our face-to-face programme had to be suspended and having Pathway through Pain to access enabled us to move to a fully digital pathway, while incorporating psychoeducation."
"Be Mindful is extremely helpful for our clients. It is a great relapse prevention measure and I have had reports that they continue to practice long after the programme has finished. As for the support from Be Mindful admin, it is second to none."
"Having Pathway through Pain to access enabled us to move to a fully digital pathway."
"Activating someone on the programme is really quick, which is definitely helping with wait times."
“What's amazing for me is that once people have learned these Mindfulness techniques, they keep using them. Receiving so many stories of participants’ lived experience is also really important. It's not just about statistical measurements, it's actually making a significant difference to someone’s life.”
"We've provided staff with a whole range of mental health support resources, including Be Mindful. One of the driving forces at the start was the flexibility of the Be Mindful programme, allowing people to self-manage, and do it when it fits them best."
"The figures are at par with any of the pain management programmes running, or slightly better."
“Pathway through Pain is a core element of our service. Patients don’t have to wait for treatments to fail before they are offered the programme - very often they go on the programme after just 1 or 2 sessions of seeing us.”
"The data we provide allows services to validate the effectiveness of these tools, providing clinicians and therapists the ability to accurately monitor their patients and have this data as part of a single patient record."
“The Wellmind Health team is very responsive if we have any queries and is supportive of our needs. They recently helped at short notice to make amends to wording on promotional materials ahead of a promotional event, which was extremely successful thanks to their input.”
"With its listing on the NHS Apps Library, an RCT showing significant efficacy, and a track record of NHS commissions, and with real benefits associated with primary care referral, Be Mindful was a priority of ours for listing on the EMIS Apps Library. We're very much looking forward to help scale the benefits of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy"
"Be Mindful has enabled clients at Inclusion Thurrock to access mindfulness in a way that suits them and fits into their lives. Wellmind have been supportive in the integration of Be Mindful into our service and have continued to be there with quick responses to any queries along the way."
"Pathway through Pain is now integral to our service. It improves the quality life of the patients we serve."
"Pathway through Pain is now integral to our pain service. It improves the quality of life of the patients we serve - and its improved my quality of life no end; I don’t tell patient after patient the same thing time and again in my clinic - the course does it for me!"
"Making Be Mindful available to all our staff has provided a highly effective, self-help solution they can access anonymously and in their own time."
"When we first started Prism, it was challenging for some clinicians to recognise the benefits of digital. Working with partners like Wellmind Health has changed all of that, because clinicians now have the reassurance that they can interact with the digital platforms to capture data and see exactly what's happening with each patient. The data we provide allows services to validate the effectiveness of these tools, providing clinicians and therapists the ability to accurately monitor their patients and have this data as part of a single patient record."
"One clear reason for opting for Be Mindful is that it had evidently been tried and tested and had received medical validation. It's also very easy to measure the impact and report results into our corporate health and safety group."
"The figures are at par with any of the pain management programmes running, or slightly better. The advantage of this kind of technology is that you don't have to see the patient every week - there is simply less of a requirement for direct patient contact. While closely monitored by their clinician, patients are empowered to learn and self-manage."
“The evidence base behind Be Mindful is highly reassuring. For us as a public health team, evidence and evaluation are key, so being able to look at the data ourselves in real-time on the management portal, as well as the published research studies, is hugely valuable.”
“The flexibility in the course delivery has been excellent, enabling staff to complete the lessons in their own time - and the results achieved by those completing have been very encouraging.”
"Engaging in the Pathway through Pain programme has absolutely been a positive change in the way that we work. Activating someone on the programme is really quick, and it's quite easy which is definitely helping with wait times."
"Very easy to measure the impact and report results into our corporate health and safety group."
"Meditainment is a no-brainer. With mental health being highlighted as a global issue, this solution has proven to be effective and dummy-proof; easy to set-up and easy to follow. I'd definitely recommend it."
"Be Mindful is great. Large reductions in client anxiety is a crucial outcome as it's a primary trigger of substance abuse. The solid research and data behind Be Mindful provided the validation we required to adopt it and our program results are fantastic."
"Always a quick response from the administrators if needing additional support or support for clients. Issues dealt with promptly and effectively (although there aren't many). Clients tell us it is easy to use, although at times 'challenging' (in that the material 'opens their eyes' to different opportunities to experience good mental health). All round good service and value of money"
“Pathway through Pain is now integral to our pain service. It improves the quality of life of the patients we serve - and its improved my quality of life no end; I don’t tell patient after patient the same thing time and again in my clinic - the course does it for me!“
"Pathway through Pain is what I call 'a strong tool', one that we can trust. Our clinicians, technology and projects team have all been involved in its onboarding, so we are very clear about its value. We're really pleased to have it available now as an integral component of our pain service."
