From crowdfunding to research and beyond

In October 2015 we launched a crowdfunding campaign on Pozible to fund the development of MoodMission. We received an amazing response when 207 amazing pledgers showed their support for our app by helping us reach our target of $20,000.

Since then we've been hard at work building and improving the app with the help of Spark Digital, and on the 17th of August, 2016, our work paid off when MoodMission was launched on the iOS App Store.

Soon after the iOS release we heard the calls from so many folk desperate for MoodMission to expand to Android. In fact a post on Imgur recevied over 300,000 views, and thousands asked for an Android version.

A crowdfunding campaign was successful raising funds for developing an Android version, which was released with great excitement in early 2017.

We have since published three papers in academic peer-reviewed journals reporting the effectiveness of MoodMission. This includes a randomised controlled trial (RCT), which showed that MoodMission was effective at decreasing depression and increasing mental wellbeing.

We are now pursuing new features for MoodMission, including support for organisations who want to use MoodMission in the workplace and mental health professionals who want to use MoodMission with their clients and patients.

We believe in a future where people have easily accessible support to change the way they feel.

News about the ongoing development process will be posted on our blog, our Facebook and Twitter accounts, and sent via email to our mailing list.
