Talk It Out
When it comes to our mental and emotional wellbeing, what we think is what we feel. The challenge is that 95% of how we feel comes from our subconscious. Which means most of us have no idea why we’re having a good day vs. a bad one.
Talk It Out is a simple, human way to look after your mind by going for a walk, and talking into an app.
About
According to the World Health Organisation, 1 billion people are suffering with poor mental wellbeing.
- Two thirds of those suffering won’t speak to another human being and so suffer alone as they’re worried about stigma, or they lack access to mental health care.
- Initial research conducted by Unilever for Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust showed that by using Talk It Out for 10 mins a day, for 10 days:
- Anxiety dropped by 37%,
- Satisfaction with life increased by 38%
- Productivity increased by 39%.
- On the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale, users’ overall wellbeing moved from ‘possible depression’ to ‘average/high mental wellbeing’, in just 10 days!
We’re running a larger research project with Unilever and Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust with a view to publishing the findings for peer review later this year and have just started R&D into an AI version of the app and are keen to partner on both projects.
