In response to the recent ruthless Russian attack on Ukraine and the resulting 10 million Ukrainian citizens who were displaced from their homes and now face extraordinary losses, both mental and physical, Bezyl and Sigma collaborated on the development of a Ukraine-specific version of the Bezyl app to help Ukrainians get the help they need from each other and from their global network of supporters.
Esther HowardChairman and CEO, founded Bezyl in 2020 in response to the growing mental health crisis in the United States among military veterans and first responders suffering from PTSD. Ms. Howard, who has more than 20 years in the clinical research industry, also adapted the app earlier this year to help cancer patients suffering from Cancer Related Depression (CRD), leveraging her extensive professional expertise in addressing this issue and providing clinical trials. participants a digital platform to get the help they need and ultimately improve their mental strength as they navigate their health journey.
Howard comments: “The original plan was to go global by 2023, but when the war started and the entire Bezyl development team was displaced from their homes, the right thing to do was translate the app into Ukrainian and make it available in as many countries as possible.” .”
“After traveling to Ukraine last November to work with the Sigma team and build the 2022 product roadmap, we were able to witness first-hand not only the beauty of Ukrainebut even more so, the genuinely kind and passionate Ukrainian people.”
“Helping and supporting Ukraine keeping your economy stabilized is just as important as your ability to win the war. In addition to government support for the armed forces, everyone can support Ukraine by continuing to do business with the country and finding ways to expand the scope of work, thereby injecting money into the Ukrainian economy.”
Bezyl’s collaboration with Sigma expands its development capabilities and global reach and leverages Sigma’s extensive design experience and business insights. Bezyl’s goal is to be the leading company in digital mental health: an innovative tool with a secure communication platform that allows easier access to mental help. It’s a simple solution with enormous potential to end the mental health pandemic in our world.
