A new study by ieso Digital Health in collaboration with the NHS and NIHR BioResource reveals that its AI-driven digital programme delivered results comparable to traditional human-led therapy for generalized anxiety.

ieso Digital HealthJul 29 2024 A new study by ieso Digital Health in collaboration with the NHS and NIHR BioResource reveals that its AI-driven digital programme delivered results comparable to traditional human- led therapy for generalized anxiety. An estimated 1.2 million people in the UK are on waiting lists for NHS mental health services.

Participants interacted with the programme at their convenience, while the human support service kept them motivated and monitored symptom progression. 94% of participants valued having a therapist available if needed, yet only 15% of participants used this support. Paul acts as a Lived Experience Partner for ieso, contributing to shaping the research by sharing his user-centered knowledge of mental ill-health and recovery. Paul explains: “We need to treat people as individuals as mental health affects people in different ways. Digital technology offers new choices for people who may struggle with traditional methods of therapy, and importantly, the ieso programme still includes human support, so people are not left alone.
