Lumino: Improving access to menopause treatment and support

**关于我**我是一个初创公司的创始人，对改善每个人的心理健康充满热情。现在有五分之一的人正在经历心理健康问题，但其中只有三分之一的人会接受治疗。我的职业生涯致力于改善治疗和支持的可及性。无论是制定国家政府借调到卫生部的政策，还是开展Mind运动，还是开发提供治疗的创新方法——我想有所作为的动机是强烈的。**关于Lumino**我于2020年共同创立了Lumino，其使命是为每个人创造更好的心理健康。我们正在开发数字治疗方案，将对临床结果的高度关注与引人入胜的用户体验相结合。**我们的第一款正在开发的产品，“七”，提供了一种基于认知行为疗法（CBT）的方案，用于那些处理有问题的更年期症状的妇女。目前，英国有250万妇女正在处理严重的症状，其中200万未得到治疗。这对家庭、事业和NHS都有影响。CBT被证明是有帮助的。但是由于成本和缺乏临床医生，获取途径很差。seven允许大规模交付，成本低，无需等待时间。这个奖项将使我们能够投资于产品开发，同时我们将把“七”推向市场。

Whether that's developing national government policy on secondment to the Department of Health, campaigning with Mind, or developing innovative ways of delivering treatment - my motivation to make a difference is strong.**About Lumino**I co-founded Lumino in 2020 with a mission of creating better mental health for everyone.We are developing digital therapeutic programmes that combine a strong focus on clinical outcomes with engaging user experiences.**Our first product**Our first product in development, Seren, delivers a cognitive behavioural therapy-based (CBT) programme to those dealing with problematic menopausal symptoms.2.5 million women in the UK are currently dealing with significant symptoms, of which 2 million are untreated. This impacts on families, careers, and the NHS.CBT is proven to help. But access is poor, due to cost and a lack of clinicians.Seren allows for delivery at scale, at low cost with no-waiting times.This award will allow us to invest in product development as we move towards bringing Seren to market.
