Not just sin­ce the coro­na pan­de­mic and the signi­fi­cant­ly incre­a­sing demand for the tre­at­ment of men­tal ill­nes­ses Hell­o­Bet­ter immedia­te help: The com­pa­ny was foun­ded in 2015 under the name GET.ON Insti­tut für Online Gesund­heits­trai­nings GmbH (geton-institut.de) by inter­na­tio­nal­ly reco­gni­zed experts and, with its nume­rous evi­dence-based psy­cho­lo­gi­cal online cour­ses, app­lies to the pre­ven­ti­on and tre­at­ment of men­tal ill­nes­ses. This offers a quick and effec­ti­ve alter­na­ti­ve to the exis­ting sup­ply bot­t­len­eck in face-to-face therapy.

Fit in stress

Hell­o­Bet­ter offers hel­pful solu­ti­ons not only for acu­te tre­at­ment needs such as sleep pro­blems, chro­nic pain or depres­si­on, but also pre­ven­ti­ve: “Fit in stress” and “Depres­si­on pre­ven­ti­on” are the names of the online cour­ses offe­red here. In it, users are taught stra­te­gies and know­ledge over a peri­od of six to eight weeks that will edu­ca­te them in the long term and incre­a­se resi­li­en­ce and mind­ful­ness. All cour­se con­tent is taught exclu­si­ve­ly by trai­ned psy­cho­lo­gists and psy­cho­the­ra­pists. The­re are cur­r­ent­ly ele­ven online cour­ses, the cos­ts of which are alrea­dy par­ti­al­ly or ful­ly cove­r­ed by some health insuran­ce com­pa­nies. BARMER poli­cy­hol­ders alrea­dy recei­ve the full cost coverage for the “Fit in Stress”, Sleep, “Pre­vent Depres­si­on” and “Depres­si­on Tre­at­ment Pro­grams”.

The con­tents of all online cour­ses from Hell­o­Bet­ter are based on many years of inten­si­ve rese­arch. The clo­se inter­lin­king of sci­en­ti­fic work and didac­tic pre­pa­ra­ti­on by an inter­di­sci­pli­na­ry team has posi­tio­ned Hell­o­Bet­ter as an inno­va­ti­on lea­der in the field of e‑mental health for years. In over 30 ran­do­mi­zed con­trol­led stu­dies, all Hell­o­Bet­ter offers have been che­cked for their effec­ti­ve­ness or are about to be publis­hed. The results show: The online cour­ses from the men­tal health pro­vi­der can be just as effec­ti­ve as clas­sic face-to-face therapy.

Digital mental health pioneers 

Star­ted in 2011 as an EU rese­arch pro­ject under the name GET.ON (online health trai­ning), Prof. Dr. David Dani­el Ebert, Dr. Han­ne Hor­vath and Dr. Ele­na Heberexami­nes the ques­ti­on of how digi­tal solu­ti­ons can help peop­le alle­via­te men­tal ill­ness. Sin­ce the begin­ning of the pro­ject the­re have been abo­ve-average posi­ti­ve results and thus the clear moti­va­ti­on to con­ti­nue. A com­pa­ny was deve­lo­ped from the uni­ver­si­ty pro­ject that enab­les peop­le around the world to deal with their men­tal health in a self-deter­mi­ned manner.

This visi­on has remai­ned to this day and is being pushed for­ward by the cur­r­ent­ly 70-strong team with offices in Ham­burg and Berlin.

In order to make the Hell­o­Bet­ter offer acces­si­ble to even more peop­le as easi­ly as pos­si­ble, some of the provider’s cour­ses are alrea­dy in the pro­cess of being inclu­ded in the DiGA direc­to­ry so that doc­tors and the­ra­pists will soon be able to issue them by prescription.

At the very begin­ning of the pan­de­mic, it was clear to the experts at Hell­o­Bet­ter that, in addi­ti­on to the acu­te thre­at from Coro­na, an epi­de­mic in the area of men­tal ill­nes­ses such as stress, anxie­ty dis­or­ders or depres­si­on could also be expec­ted. That is why the com­pa­ny has deve­lo­ped a com­pre­hen­si­ve digi­tal initia­ti­ve with various low-thres­hold offers: “Strong through the cri­sis” was laun­ched tog­e­ther with Alli­anz. Anyo­ne can use the free offer con­sis­ting of a hot­line, an online com­mu­ni­ty mode­ra­ted by psy­cho­lo­gists, and a media libra­ry that pro­vi­des infor­ma­ti­on on stra­te­gies for dealing with psy­cho­lo­gi­cal com­p­laints — in Ger­man and English.

The demand from com­pa­nies has also risen shar­ply: They have reco­gni­zed the impor­t­ance of hel­ping their teams to streng­t­hen their men­tal health and are now inves­ting more in the topic of occup­a­tio­nal health manage­ment. Over 100 cor­po­ra­te cus­to­mers, inclu­ding several DAX com­pa­nies, but also medi­um-sized com­pa­nies such as Visit Ber­lin, Rebuy and hid­den cham­pions such as Scha­eff­ler, offer cour­ses from Hell­o­Bet­ter to their 1.5 mil­li­on employees. Over­all, the cos­ts for the company’s solu­ti­ons are now being cove­r­ed by a cost unit for over 15 mil­li­on peop­le in Ger­ma­ny, so that they recei­ve free support.
