healthTestedTRL 5

Imagine trying to stop a fire by removing the fuel before the spark happens. Instead of just catching people after a crime, this effort helps people who are worried about their own thoughts get professional help first. It's like providing a safety valve to prevent a disaster from ever occurring.

The business problem

What needed solving

The solution

What was built

An online platform with peer education videos, translated support content, chat-operator training manuals, and a feasibility study for an automated Chat-bot.
