Propel @ YH Boot Camp stories of success
Behavidence
Behavidence was one of five US-based SMEs selected for the Propel @ YH Boot Camp in 2022 .
The Behavidence AI enables monitoring of mental health conditions by analysing a person ’ s smart phone interactions to help generate a mental health score , which is then compared to other people diagnosed with ADHD , depression or anxiety . It has been developed to help identify risk of relapse of conditions whilst also screening and remote monitoring for clinical interventions if necessary .
The Propel @ YH Boot Camp provided a perfect opportunity for Behavidence to engage with UK healthcare experts about bringing their technology to the NHS , as the Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber programme focused on developing the company ’ s understanding of NHS government , finance and procurement frameworks . The accelerator also introduced them to key stakeholders , connecting them with the right support to evaluate their technology and its suitability for the UK market .
This support has been central to the successful adoption and spread of Behavidence ’ s innovation , as well as to supporting the company to find the right assistance , generate investment and enable growth . Following the Propel @ YH Boot Camp , Behavidence successfully set up an office in the vibrant Nexus community , based at the University of Leeds . The company now plans to expand the UK team to support their growth across the country and beyond .
“… the programme helped us to seek out other opportunities and helped us to realise there ’ s a lot to do and even more opportunities in the North of England , rather than taking the classic route of settling in London .”
