Big Health

Many individuals struggling with common mental health conditions like insomnia and anxiety often face significant barriers to accessing effective, evidence-based care. Traditional options may involve long wait times for specialists, the potential side effects of medication, or a lack of readily available, personalized support. This is why Big Health was founded: to help millions of people reclaim good mental health through accessible and clinically proven digital therapeutics. Our customers, including individuals, employers, and health plans, are looking for solutions that not only address these challenges but also integrate seamlessly into daily life and existing healthcare pathways.

At Big Health, we understand that our users need more than just information; they need engaging, effective, and convenient tools that empower them to take control of their mental wellbeing. Co-founder Peter Hames experienced firsthand the difficulty of obtaining non-pharmacological treatment for insomnia, which led him to collaborate with Dr. Colin Espie, a leading clinical psychologist. Together, they envisioned a future where gold-standard behavioral therapies could be delivered digitally, making them scalable and widely accessible. Our digital programs, such as Sleepio for insomnia and Daylight for anxiety, are built upon the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a well-established and highly effective approach. We are committed to rigorous scientific validation, with our programs backed by numerous randomized controlled trials and extensive research. This dedication to evidence ensures that our users and partners can trust the efficacy and safety of our solutions. We strive to make mental healthcare more inclusive by reaching communities that have been traditionally underserved, offering a discreet and stigma-free way to access support anytime, anywhere. By combining leading clinical expertise with thoughtful design and technology, Big Health is dedicated to providing a new standard of mental healthcare that is both effective and accessible to all.
