Koa Health

Highlights ⭐

• Growing market: The global mental health apps market revenue is expected to reach $9.9 Billion in 2028, according to Vantage Market Research. Koa Health is well placed to get its slice of this huge pie.
• Evidence-based treatment: Koa Foundations offers users a breadth of evidence-based interventions and activities from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and positive psychology to meditation and mindfulness to improve user well-being, including tackling stress, sleeping better, aiding relaxation and positive thinking and boosting self-confidence.
• It works: The research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London has found that the mental health and wellbeing of frontline NHS healthcare workers can be supported and improved through the use of the Koa Foundations mental health and wellbeing smartphone application. 🔗
• AI predicts mental health crises: Koa Health developed a machine learning model that uses anonymised electronic health records to continuously monitor patients for risk of a mental health crisis. The model has been found to correctly predict more than half of the crises 28 days in advance, without a considerable false positive rate. A following six-month study evaluated Koa Health's algorithm's use in clinical practice. In as many as 64% of cases, the model proved clinically valuable, either in terms of managing caseloads or mitigating the risk of crisis. 🔗
• Products in development: Including Koa Perspectives, which is being developed to provide guided cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) via app to patients across a range of disorders; and Koa Foresight, which leverages AI to protect at-risk patients by predicting potential mental health emergencies before they occur and helping provider teams address them early.
