Our Story
Our founders first recognised the incredible potential of digital behavioural change programs 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 a 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. Anxiety, depression and addiction 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 on-demand health behaviour change programs 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.

“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.”
"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."
"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."
"Pathway through Pain has opened up a cohort of patients we weren't able to access previously. Housebound patients with internet access are now able to benefit from a virtual pain pathway and PTP is important in their psychoeducation."
"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."
"Having Pathway through Pain to access enabled us to move to a fully digital pathway."
"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 now integral to our service. It improves the quality life of the patients we serve."
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
"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"
“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."
"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."
"The figures are at par with any of the pain management programmes running, or slightly better."
"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."
