Our take

People all over the world struggle with psychological problems on a day-to-day basis, and whilst awareness, education, and therapeutic services are on the rise, it can still be difficult to access the help that is needed. Whilst some countries provide some mental health services for free, most specialized psychological support is very expensive, subject to long waiting lists, and inaccessible to many.

HelloBetter provides a platform of online psychological courses, tackling specialized subjects such as work-related stress and burnout, mental health issues as a result of chronic pain, and diabetes-related depression. The courses are curated by world-leading mental help researchers and course developers and are eligible to be prescribed for free on a patient's health insurance.

The internet has long since been used as a platform for psychological courses, but these usually lack an expert-approved framework, and options that do meet professional standards are expensive. By partnering with psychologists, researchers, doctors, and health insurance providers, HelloBetter is standing out with its efforts to make psychological care as accessible as possible. Funding awarded in 2023 will be put towards the commercialisation of HelloBetter's platform and US and EU expansion.
