OpenUp

OpenUp aims to make mental health accessible to all. By doing so, OpenUp creates greater awareness of mental wellbeing, and contributes resilience and destigmatizes the topic. OpenUp enables employers to give their employees direct, fast and easy access to certified psychologists and online tools to improve mental wellbeing through a fully digital platform.

Mental health accessible to all

Mental health issues are a pressing and growing challenge to our society, affecting about 25% of the European population every year. The solutions however, remain largely inaccessible due to an overloaded healthcare system. Until now.

OpenUp enables employers to give their employees direct, fast and easy access to certified psychologists and online tools to improve mental wellbeing through a fully digital web/app platform. iPractice is a ‘regular’ psychological practice that provides blended psychological care services, which means that online & chat support is interspersed with offline contact with a certified psychologist.

For OpenUp we track the impact targets:

➡️: Cumulative number of unique OpenUp user sessions
➡️: The blended score of NPS score of users of 1-1 sessions and group (Spaces) session with a score of higher than 8
