Disrupting IAPT: Can digital pathways 'change the game' conference, De Vere Conference Centre, London.
“Digital mental health care
pathways are delivering game-changing outcomes in the treatment of depression”
according to Rob Brougham, UK MD of Ieso Digital Health, speaking today at
Disrupting IAPT: Can digital pathways 'change the game' a national summit, chaired by Jeremy Clarke CBE, bringing together
industry leaders to discuss the challenges and opportunities for innovation,
ahead of the publication of the new NICE guideline for depression.
Ieso is the
UK’s leading provider and award-winning pioneer of clinically validated,
digitally-enabled mental health care, available through the NHS, IAPT programme. Ieso is making high-quality therapy accessible, accountable
and affordable for the first time by combining
the power of technology with personalised care. Ieso works with IAPT services across over 40
CCG footprints.
According to Rob “Many
people seeking therapy for mild to moderate depression with the NHS, still face
long waiting times, with 1 in 10 having to wait more than a year to be seen
leading to minor problems becoming
major ones[1].
Nearly two-thirds of people with a known mental condition never seek help from
a health professional[2] and yet most of them carry a mobile phone
around with them every day. By combining digital technology with the
knowledge and experience of qualified expert clinicians, we are seeing the
real-world impact of how Ieso is redefining mental health, removing barriers and stigma by meeting patients where they are; on their
mobiles and on PC.”
- 66%
of all Ieso therapy sessions now take place out of standard 9-to-5 office

- 48%
more patients complete Ieso’s therapy, compared to the national average
for treatment.
- Greater flexibility of online therapy sessions offered by Ieso
is reducing appointment no-shows by 31% compared to average national
figures for traditional therapy.
