In July we announced that Ultrasis had entered into a research partnership with the Mental Health Services Department of West China Hospital, West China School of Medicine Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan Province.

The initial research phase should be completed by """Autumn 2013"""....

The partnership is aimed at establishing the benefits of using BtB to alleviate mild and moderate depression and anxiety within the Chinese population and identifying any cultural adaptation required to develop a Chinese-specific version of the program for the Chinese market. West China Hospital is the largest hospital in China, has in excess of 4,000 beds and delivers over 2.5 million out-patient appointments per year.

China has a population of nearly 1.35 billion people and accounts for almost 20 per cent. of the world’s population. The Chinese Government is positively addressing, at national and provincial levels, the need to provide psychological therapy services to its population, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy being already a well-established form of treatment in the country’s mental health services. The World Health Organisation estimates that mental illness will increase in prominence, to account for 17.4 per cent. of all illness in China, by 2020.

The research programme is a significant development for Ultrasis and BtB. More important is the potential it offers to build a credible base from which to address the largest market (by population) in the world. The potential for computerised CBT to help.
