Treat more patients, at the right level
In-person when necessary. Digital when possible. Not every patient needs the same treatment intensity - with a stepped care approach, Youwell can help you build services across multiple levels, from patient education and coping programmes, through self-help and guided treatment, to hybrid pathways with in-person visits. The result is a more sustainable delivery model, where as many patients as possible receive treatment in the most effective way.
More patients, the same clinical capacity
The challenges are familiar: we're getting older, developing more complex conditions, waiting lists are growing, and the number of patients needing treatment is growing faster than clinical resources. Many organisations recognise the same symptoms: full schedules, a lot of clinical time spent on follow-up between consultations, and limited ability to take on new patients without expanding staff.
At the same time, healthcare services need to think more sustainably and more strategically about where digital can make a difference. There's strong political and strategic pressure to digitalise - something both clinicians and patients increasingly expect. That calls for service innovation, not just more hands.
Digital treatment, built around a stepped care approach, addresses this directly: structured treatment programmes across multiple levels make it possible to take on more patients without a matching increase in staff, and systematic data collection documents the effect - to both patients and commissioners.
Challenges in treatment
Many treatment organisations recognise the same challenges:
- Long waiting lists and limited clinical capacity
- A lot of clinical time goes into follow-up and administration between consultations
- Difficult to systematically document the effect of treatment
- Challenging to offer equitable treatment regardless of where patients live
- High cost of developing and adopting digital treatment pathways in-house
- No good way to combine in-person appointments with digital elements in the same pathway
How Youwell creates value
Youwell makes it possible to deliver treatment digitally, in person, or as a combination of both - in one single solution:
- Services across multiple treatment levels in one platform - from patient education and self-help, to guided and hybrid pathways
- A simple authoring tool makes it possible to create your own treatment programmes without coding
- Access to a library of validated programmes that can be reused directly, instead of being built from scratch
- Strong clinician functionality gives better overview and insight into how each individual patient is doing
- Systematic data collection that documents effect to patients and commissioners
- Integration with electronic health record systems, so data isn't entered twice
Four treatment levels, one platform
Digital treatment doesn't mean treatment without people. With a stepped care approach, which the platform enables, you can offer the right intensity to the right patient - from patient education and coping programmes at the lowest level, to hybrid pathways with in-person visits when needed.
Patient education and coping
Knowledge and tools to manage everyday life, without the need for individual follow-up. Reaches the most people, at the lowest cost.
Self-help
Structured self-help programmes the patient completes at their own pace. Low threshold, no waiting time.
Guided treatment
Structured digital treatment programme, with regular guidance from a clinician - without fixed in-person appointments.
Hybrid pathways
In-person consultations combined with digital modules in between. More targeted time, less travel and waiting.
Benefits across the whole value chain
For the patient
Faster access to treatment, regardless of where they live or waiting lists. The patient gets closer dialogue with the clinician between sessions, and experiences continuity throughout the pathway.
For the clinician
More efficient follow-up of more patients at once, structured insight into the patient's progress between consultations, and more time for the patients who need the closest follow-up.
For the organisation
Increased treatment capacity without a matching increase in staffing, shorter waiting lists, and data gathered in one place for quality improvement and reporting.
For society
More people get fast, equitable access to treatment regardless of where they live, documented effect through systematic data capture, and more targeted use of healthcare funding.
Treatment that reaches more patients
3x increased treatment capacity - result from eBehandling
Youwell delivers eBehandling - a national platform for guided internet-based treatment in mental health and somatic care. The solution is in use at all 21 health trusts in Norway, through an interregional agreement that allows programmes built in one place to be scaled and shared nationally.
A regional licence enables building more programmes
Region Midtjylland in Denmark is investing broadly in internet-based treatment, with a regional licence on the Youwell platform. Aarhus University Hospital is building several digital treatment pathways in parallel - including for children and young people with OCD, and a support programme for parents of children referred to child and adolescent psychiatry.
