Tell us about your business.
There are 300million people worldwide suffering from anxiety disorders and many of them face barriers to mental health support. So we setup RCube Health with the mission to remove these barriers and democratise access to evidence-based mental health support. Our first product is Resony, a therapeutic mobile app offering a clinically proven app-based treatment for generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) without side effects of medication. The app is based on Integrated therapy for anxiety combining cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) principles and body-based techniques to achieve higher recovery rates than usual standard of care. Furthermore, we can personalise treatment program to individuals using autonomic health data (heart rate variability) measured by a wearable.
