Tend VR represents an innovative digital health solution that delivers Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) through an immersive virtual reality platform. Designed to treat depression and anxiety, the technology offers a scalable, engaging alternative to conventional therapies. Feasibility studies with 95 participants demonstrated clinically reliable improvements, with baseline mean PHQ-9 scores reduced from 13.97 to 6.32 and a robust Cohen’s d effect size of 1.49, indicating substantial clinical benefit. The project aims to transform mental health care, by enhancing accessibility, reducing costs, and aligning with evidence-based practice.

Be Mindful Workplace is a digital mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) platform designed to support disabled individuals seeking employment by improving mental health, resilience, and job readiness. Unlike general mental health tools, it is co-designed with disabled job seekers to address employment-specific challenges such as workplace anxiety, confidence-building, and self-advocacy. The platform is fully accessible, incorporating British Sign Language (BSL), EasyRead materials, and captioned video content to ensure inclusivity. Delivered online, it provides self-paced, structured mindfulness interventions tailored to individual needs. The project aims to create a scalable, evidence-based tool for integration into NHS services and employment support networks.

The Work Well by Maudsley digital support tool will provide a scalable solution to enable a wider audience to access the latest information and evidence-based psychology tools and given the work with different communities the content will acknowledge and incorporate the different cultural sensitivities, thereby ensuring inclusivity of all people suffering mental ill irrespective of their ethnic background.
