Why MetaMental?
MetaMental was created with the goal to address mental health holistically. It is placed in the brain, constantly scanning the brain to read it’s signals and understand it’s unique way of working in a way that has not existed. It integrates a range of care and support to achieve the needed mental health outcomes for individual’s living in today’s society.
Our Story
MetaMental started with a group of scientists, psychologists, engineers, neurosurgeons, researchers and data scientists having an ambitious dream to make progress with mental health in ways that we have not been able to for centuries. We approached the idea, not by thinking about how the patient will interact with services but the person and their lives. Everyone’s journey is individual and uniquely personal.
Where we have been, what we value, what has happened to us, what happens to our brains when we feel different feelings, what happens to our bodies when they are under stress, where we are now and what we have going for us, all varies amongst people and so will everyone’s personal MetaMental.
In the year of 2050, we can look back at the past decades and note that despite how far we have come with mental health services there is this widespread acceptance that the broad direction of mental health care will never suffice to create an environment where we no longer pair the words crisis and mental health together.
​
There have been many shortcomings to the existing mental health services over the years. In response, demands have generally been for more professionals, online mental health services and AI therapy. While we do believe that we need better services, we think that we need to approach our mental health through a more individualized and physiological way.
