Superpow! is a video therapy app that finds users their best matching therapist. Our intelligent algorithm fixes the whole issue of mismatching between users and therapists.
About
Superpow! uses an intelligent algorithm that connects people with their best matching therapist, based on language, ethnicity, culture and more. The app reduces stigma through a non-clinical approach, encouraging more people to seek treatment and reducing the impact of poor mental health in the community. 1 in 4 people struggle with poor mental health, but only 1 in 3 is getting treatment. Stigma, cost of therapy and the lack of flexibility are all keeping people away from treatment. Up to 1 in 3 adults drop out of treatment early - patient & therapist mismatch being one of the reasons. COMMUNITY COST - Untreated mental health problems account for 13% of the global burden of disease. ECONOMY COST - 17.6 million sick leave, or 12.7% of the total sick days taken in the UK.
Key Benefits
Superpow! facilitates mental health treatment from the very first therapy session, reducing the risk of therapist/ patient mismatch. The result is an increased performance and productivity in the workplace and boosting the economy in highly diverse communities.
