Work-related mental health difficulties can have devastating consequences on self-efficacy, disrupt relationships at work, impair job performance and result in burnout-related sick days. In 2021, almost 18 million working days were lost in the UK due to work-related stress, depression, and anxiety. This accounts for over 50% of all health-related absences. It can also result in redundancies (approximately 300,000 UK workers lose their jobs due to mental health every year), and in extreme cases, even suicide. The growing price tag of poor mental health has now reached a staggering £117 billion annually for the UK economy (LSE, 2022). Similarly, mental health cost UK businesses £56 billion – an increase of 25% over a three-year period (Deloitte, 2022). To address this growing problem, we are developing eMoodie Minds which is a mental health platform that focuses on burnout prevention and relief for employees using evidence-based approaches. Our digitised interventions include psychoeducation materials, psychotherapeutic exercises, and guided-audio reflection and visualisation exercises derived from sports sciences. Content is aimed at addressing problems with mood, stress, anxiety, and sleep, with the goal of helping individuals strengthen their resilience against burnout and improve emotional wellbeing. The user experience of the app is directed through engaging gamification mechanisms, packaged within an aesthetically pleasing UI.The workplan for the current project focuses on four areas. First, we will seek to optimise the functionality and content for the MVP of the eMoodie Minds smartphone app through user testing. This testing will focus on usability, accessibility, and clinical content design through a combination of quality assurance testing with our external partner, and via online user testing services. Second, we will conduct requirements gathering in order to prototype our dashboard. Third, we will develop study protocol designs for trials in accordance with data collection requirements for health app regulatory purposes within the UK. Fourth, we will scope out a full plan for regulatory requirements for the platform and prepare applications for regulatory approvals. In addition to our primary objectives, the grant will also contribute to eMoodie’s commercialisation strategy, including the development of our sales and marketing plan and our sales pipeline in preparation for full product launch in 2024. By combining state-of-the-art assessment capabilities with gamified evidence-based interventions, eMoodie will deliver next-level user engagement in digital therapies, and in doing so, increase mental wellbeing in the modern workforce.

与工作相关的心理健康问题可能会对自我效能造成毁灭性后果，扰乱工作关系，损害工作绩效，并导致与职业倦怠相关的病假。2021 年，英国因工作相关损失了近 1800 万个工作日。压力、抑郁和焦虑占所有与健康相关的缺勤的 50% 以上，这也可能导致裁员（每年约有 300,000 名英国工人因心理健康而失业）。年），在极端情况下，心理健康状况不佳每年给英国经济造成的损失已高达 1170 亿英镑（LSE，2022）。三年内增加了 25%（德勤，2022 年）为了解决这一日益严重的问题，我们正在开发 eMoodie Minds，这是一个心理健康平台，专注于基于证据的员工倦怠预防和缓解。我们的数字化干预措施包括心理教育材料、心理治疗练习以及源自运动科学的引导音频反思和可视化练习，内容旨在解决情绪、压力、焦虑和睡眠问题，旨在帮助个人增强适应力。该应用程序的用户体验是通过吸引人的游戏化机制来指导的，并包装在美观的用户界面中。当前项目的工作计划侧重于四个领域。通过用户测试来确定 eMoodie Minds 智能手机应用程序 MVP 的内容 此测试将通过与我们的外部合作伙伴结合的质量保证测试以及在线用户测试服务来重点关注可用性、可访问性和临床内容设计。第三，我们将根据英国健康应用程序监管目的的数据收集要求制定试验研究方案设计。第四，我们将制定平台监管要求的完整计划。并准备监管审批申请。为了实现目标，这笔赠款还将有助于 eMoodie 的商业化战略，包括制定我们的销售和营销计划以及我们的销售渠道，为 2024 年全面产品推出做好准备。通过将最先进的评估能力与游戏化的基于证据的能力相结合通过干预措施，eMoodie 将提高数字疗法的用户参与度，从而提高现代劳动力的心理健康水平。
