care, offering early intervention, and reducing pressure on hospital services.
Since Daylight launched in South Yorkshire last September( 2024), 1,436 people have signed up with 884 enrolling and beginning first line treatment as an alternative to medication. These figures highlight the potential for digital solutions to
“ engage patients effectively, provide accessible mental health support and reduce reliance on medication. This innovation showcases the power of digital technologies in shifting towards preventative care, offering early intervention, empowering people to manage anxiety, and reducing pressure on hospital services.
Our partnership with Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber through Primary Care Sheffield has been instrumental in helping over 800 patients access evidence-based treatment through Daylight. The early success of this project reflects not just the demand for accessible mental health treatments, but the power of collaboration in driving meaningful change. Together, we’ re making a real difference in how anxiety is managed across the region, and we’ re excited to see the continued and wider impact as the project grows.”
