What will the ‘Peloton for mental health’ look like five years from now? And, who will develop it?

October 23, 2020 by SharpBrains

Mind­Labs rais­es £1.4M for its new plat­form, a ‘Pelo­ton for men­tal health’ (TechCrunch):

Ide­al­ly, men­tal well­ness should be con­sid­ered part of a healthy dai­ly rou­tine, like exer­cise. But even exer­cise is dif­fi­cult to turn into a reg­u­lar habit.

And, who will devel­op it?

October 12, 2012 by Alvaro Fernandez

We recent­ly came across a fas­ci­nat­ing sci­en­tif­ic study, titled Exam­in­ing cog­ni­tive func­tion across the lifes­pan using a mobile appli­ca­tion (Com­put­ers in Human Behav­ior), which stud­ied the val­ue and lim­i­ta­tions of using an iPad app called “brain­base­line.”
