FIRM PROFILE

ieso was established in the UK in 2000 by two psychologists passionate about using technology to create a world where everyone has access to effective mental healthcare. Since then, we’ve treated over 120,000 patients and built the world’s largest outcomes-indexed mental health dataset. We’re expert clinicians, scientists, and digital technologists blending data science and deep clinical expertise to create scalable, effective, and highly personalised digital mental health products.

We’re blending data science and deep clinical expertise, to learn what helps people access the right treatment and recover. We use this knowledge to create fully scalable, highly personalised, digital solutions that help prevent, treat and manage poor mental health.

Our pioneering discoveries in mental healthcare are improving how the world understands and treats mental health. From the beginning, we’ve placed patients at the heart of everything we do, and believe in a world where everyone has access to effective mental healthcare that is right for them at the time they need it.

For over a decade, ieso has been one of the largest providers of online, AI-enabled, human-delivered therapy within the National Health Service’s (NHS) globally recognised Talking Therapies programme.

Through our award-winning digital platform, ieso has delivered therapeutic interventions to 120,000+ people with over 650,000 hours of treatment provided. We use a typed modality which captures, with permission, the exchange between a therapist and patient all in an ISO27001-compliant manner.

Coupled with session-by-session progress measures, ieso has a globally unique, de-identified dataset that we analyse to increase the quality and effectiveness of therapy. This dataset not only improves our scientific knowledge of mental health, but drives technological innovation to improve access to care, lower costs, and by personalising treatments – deliver better outcomes for patients.
