Tyneside wellness platform to launch AI tech through national conferences

A North East wellness startup is set to reveal its new AI-assisted app following funding from the government’s innovation arm.

Myndr is set to launch its new digital mental health and wellness platform next year at a series of national conferences.

The Tyneside-based company, founded by Lizzy Hodcroft and Emma Reilly, is set to unveil its new platform at new event Myndr X Con, the first of which is scheduled for February 2021.

The conference announcement follows news that the company was recently awarded a £300k grant from the Innovate UK Fund.

Myndr co-founder Lizzy Hodcroft explained: “We will be taking a deep dive into the interesting findings from our early beta testing of the platform and of course, there will be a big unveiling of the product showcasing the ‘how’ and ‘why’ behind it all.

“We’ll also be taking a look at the mental health landscape today, exploring both what can be celebrated and what still needs to be improved.”
