🩺 ClinicBuddy — Supporting Mental Health Care for Patients
ClinicBuddy is a digital, gamified solution designed to enhance preventative care and therapeutic support in mental health clinics. It empowers patients with psychoeducational tools and resilience-building activities—while helping therapists streamline their care.
Real Insights from Clinical Data
Through collaboration with mental health clinics and in-depth interviews with therapists and patients, we conducted comprehensive analysis of clinical data and case studies. This research revealed key pain points in current clinical mental health practices:
High Administrative Burden
Therapists spend up to 30–40% of their time on administrative tasks—taking time away from direct patient care.
Outdated Documentation Tool
Many clinics still rely on handwritten notes, making it difficult to organize, manage, and retrieve important clinical documents.
High Dropout Rates with No Feedback Loop
Patients often drop out of therapy, yet there is little data collected on the reasons—leading to missed opportunities for improvement.
Rigid Treatment Approaches
Many therapists stick to a single therapeutic method, which can be limiting for diverse patient needs and may reduce overall effectiveness.
Overreliance on Talk Therapy
Talk therapy remains the primary treatment tool. Its effectiveness is often compromised by subjective communication and patients’ limited understanding of mental health.
Lack of Empowerment Tools for Patients
There are few supportive tools available to empower patients during and after therapy—critical phases for long-term mental health resilience.
No Support During Waiting Periods
Patients on waiting lists often receive no mental health support while in queue, risking deterioration before treatment begins.
Empowering Patients Is Crucial
In many clinical settings, patients rely almost entirely on talk therapy, which is limited to scheduled sessions and shaped by subjective conversations. But mental health recovery doesn't begin and end in the therapy room — it’s a continuous process that requires consistent support, understanding, and active engagement.
By improving mental health literacy, we empower patients to navigate challenges even outside of sessions. This not only helps them articulate their experiences more clearly but also reduces stigma, fosters self-awareness, and enhances engagement. Ultimately, informed patients are better equipped to participate in their care — leading to more effective, compassionate, and personalized support.
