The clinically validated, unified platform
aims to move beyond just therapy to deliver easy-to-use, real-time
prevention, treatment, and maintenance for employees who may be
suffering from anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, burnout, or
other conditions.
BOSTON and LONDON and BARCELONA, Spain, Aug. 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Koa Health, a leading global
provider of mental healthcare services, today announced the launch
of Koa Care 360. A unified mental health platform, Koa Care 360
partners with employers to provide employees with preventive care,
online therapy and a range of solutions personalized to individual
employee needs. The platform also serves as a central point of
access for existing benefits, connecting employees to additional
resources available from their employer.
While companies have increased mental health offerings in the
past several years, individual employees are not using them. In a
Deloitte study, 68% of workers report they don't use benefits
because they are too time-consuming, cumbersome, or overly
complicated to access. Koa Care 360 simplifies mental health care
and provides a continuum of services that integrate with
employer-provided benefits.
"Organizations are struggling to engage employees with mental
health benefits, which is why we built Koa Care 360 to meet people
where they are with personalized, clinically-validated care," said
Dr. Oliver Harrison, founder and CEO
of Koa Health. "For organizations to support their people and help
them become healthier and more productive employees, Koa Health saw
a need to bring everything mental health-related into one powerful
platform."
With 59% of working adults dealing with at least one mental
health issue, improving access to care is crucial.
"Not every person needs therapy, so it can be overwhelming for
employees to know what they need or how to access the care they
need using employer-provided benefits," said Jennifer Keashon, Director of Compensation and
Benefits, Americas, at International SOS. "Koa Care 360 was
designed by psychologists to help employees understand what they
need, quickly navigate to the right level of care, and give them
ownership of their wellbeing."
Employees can access the Koa Care 360 platform from any device.
Each person first takes a quick assessment. The platform then
recommends personalized, evidence-based services ranging from
interactive self-treatment tools to clinical care with a
therapist.
Koa Care 360 delivers clinical-first mental health care to help
employers improve workforce wellness. The mental health service
proactively maintains and restores employee mental health through
regular prompts and easy-to-navigate care pathways. Users are
guided through a mix of technology and human touch experiences to
treat, mitigate, or maintain wellbeing and mental health
challenges. This guided approach, delivered via a unified platform,
reduces point solution fatigue, increases productivity and
engagement, and reduces mental health related risks and costs for
organizations.
The platform, built in collaboration with leading global
universities, is backed by findings in 65 peer-reviewed scientific
publications, 27 patent publications, and 21 clinical trials
including the largest known study of app-based mental health
support for health care workers. Koa Care 360 is offered in 83
countries and eight languages, and surpassed standards set by
leading independent reviewers ORCHA and OneMind.
