Our Partners

Collaboration has been vital in developing our product Tend VR-MBI (Virtual Reality Mindfulness-Based Intervention). We’ve partnered with some of the world’s leading academics, clinical and research organisations, healthcare deliverers and user groups in order to ensure our product is safe and delivers the best possible clinical outcomes.

Additionally, substantial external grant funding has supported rigorous testing and validation of our innovative mental health intervention.

I have been genuinely ‘bowled over’ by both Tend and its VR-based mindfulness-informed programme... What sets Tend apart is its experiential nature... the programme creates a unique immersive environment in which people can explore their thoughts, emotions and physical sensations while developing new ways of responding to them.

Dr Sara Tai, Professor of Clinical Psychology at University of Manchester

Tend stands out because of the opportunity it provides... in a non-clinical setting. It also offers a way to reinforce the messaging of therapy that is delivered by clinicians. Both interventions have great benefits for the NHS talking therapy workforce, which is in such high demand.
