PTSD Hjælp
The healthcare app to support people with PTSD
In close collaboration with Forskningsenhed og Kompetencecenter for Psykoterapi, Psykoterapeutisk Center Stolpegård, and Region Hovedstadens Psykiatri, Empact developed PTSD Hjælp, an app that supports people with PTSD.
Providing help when alone
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. The institutions above are all research units for psychotherapy in Denmark.
In a close partnership with scientists and healthcare personnel, Empact created a digital solution to help patients suffering from PTSD. The app serves as a helpline that is always close to these patients, even when they are not at the clinic.
