About my current job
Big Health is a digital therapeutics company, whose area of focus is sleep and mental health. The goal is to help millions pf people go back to good mental health. Through developing innovative tech programmes, Big Health gives access to behavioural help via web or mobile, night or day. Its products have been used by over 1 million people.
The first programme developed at Big Health is Sleepio, which is a digital tool developed to help people achieve better sleep. Sleepio provides digital Cognitive Behavioural therapy to support people with insomnia, and results in better sleep for 76% of people who use it.
How did my education influence my career path?
It was my foundation in psychology that prompted the idea for Big Health; I self-administered a course of CBT to address my own insomnia, which sparked the idea of using technology to deliver CBT and related therapies as scalably and consistently as drugs, aka digital medicine. We even have a research partnership with Oxford now (fund a post doc).
