Certified Problem Solver

InsideOut (InsideOut 25 Ltd) is a verifiable UK-based health-tech startup offering AI-driven mental health support (Remi AI Coach) and VR immersive therapies. The project demonstrates strong real-world utility and has secured reputable backing, including funding from SBRI Healthcare (NHS) and a partnership with the British Judo Association. However, the submission itself contains highly hyperbolic and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') which severely contradict verifiable public data. While the technology (Generative AI, VR) and market timing are excellent, the project is currently in an early adoption/pilot phase rather than the mass-market dominance claimed. The score reflects the legitimacy of the business and technology, penalized significantly for the submission's lack of credible traction evidence and data accuracy.

Project Details

Description
We're on a mission to help businesses become happier and healthier from the InsideOut. InsideOut is a multiple award-winning health tech platform using generative AI to provide on-demand, highly personalised and immersive preventive support. Underpinned by clinical research and evidence, InsideOut provides employees with on-demand virtual talking therapies, AI guided conversations (via Remi, our AI Coach), and a range of personalised exercises, tools and resources. Furthermore, we offer VR-based immersive programmes, which are clinically designed to mitigate feelings of stress, anxiety and burnout. At our core, we believe that employees perform at their greatest when they feel their best. We enable employees to access support to help with challenges they may be facing or achieve their goals whether that is sleeping better, managing stress, overcoming financial challenges, being more active or eating more healthily. Studies show that physical and mental health are interlinked, and that both are critical in order to bring our best selves to work. Now is the time to encourage colleagues to speak up about their wellbeing and to support them in letting the inside out.
