Our Science
Our Scientific Leadership
Neolth is founded by neuroscientist Dr. Katherine Grill, so our evidence-base has been a priority since day one. In collaboration with Dr. Claire Wheeler, our CMO, and Dr. Jennifer Huberty - our Science Advisor and former Director of Science at Calm - Neolth is leading the way in research of digital mental health solutions for students and schools.
Neolth's Benefits
100% of students felt a reduction in stigma after 3 weeks
As measured with a 5-item Likert Scale
Experiencing stigma can prevent students from seeking help or caring for their mental health.
Decreased depression up to 18.1% after 8 weeks
As measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
Depression can negatively impact engagement and performance at school and beyond.
Reduced stress up to 22.2% after 8 weeks and 48.0% after 12 weeks
As measured with the Perceived Stress Scale
Stress reduction can help students focus, relieve physical and mental health symptoms, and perform better in school.
Reduced anxiety up to 9.7% after 8 weeks
As measured with the Hospital Anxiety
and Depression Scale
Anxiety can severely impact social interactions, ability to participate in school, and one's confidence.
87.0% of students said their school should offer Neolth
As measured in a dichotomous survey response
Engaging with Neolth 164 minutes per week on average, students are incorporating self-care into their daily routines.
Increased self-efficacy up to 7.6% after 8 weeks
As measured with the General
Self-efficacy Scale
Improved self-efficacy can make students more confident about their future and their ability to complete challenges.
31.3% higher average satisfaction rating
compared to other mental health apps
As measured with 5 star system
Comparison data from Coe, 2021

Call for industry/academic partnerships with Neolth
Measurement of teen's mental health
The goal of this call is to find investigators who want to partner with industry leaders and need a tool for school based or after school interventions. Partner must have funding to pay for Neolth licensing and any other intervention funds necessary to implement their study. Neolth is open to academic partnerships that are related to the following scientific priorities:
-
Evaluate the impact of Neolth on mental health outcomes
-
Testing program efficacy
-
Exploring the optimal engagement with Neolth to improve health outcomes
-
Exploring mechanisms through which Neolth improves mental health
-
-
Identify and evaluate the impact of integrating evidence-based behavioral strategies into the classroom
-
Testing program feasibility
-
Testing delivery models
-
Exploring the impact of Neolth on school culture and mental health stigma
-
Exploring the impact of Neolth on classroom behavior, including academic outcomes
-
-
Evaluate the process and outcome measures in schools with Neolth
-
Process measures could include feasibility, dissemination, adherence, etc.
-
Outcomes measures could include behavior, self-efficacy, stigma, resilience, stress, anxiety, depression
-
-
Conducting trials that include comprehensive multi-modal measurements beyond self-report (e.g. neurophysiological, neural biomarkers)
Examples of prior successful research partnerships:
-
Neolth and the Scanlan Center for School Mental Health housed at the University of Iowa
-
Neolth and the Media and Innovation Lab housed at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine
If you are interested in partnering with Neolth, you must submit a brief application to hello@neolth.com. Neolth's science advisory will review applications and invite the strongest applicants to submit an official proposal. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
Investigators must have:
-
A strong research team, including a statistician, with experience conducting behavioral research, preferably with mhealth interventions
-
An affiliation with a US institution with an IRB that will approve the study
-
Funding necessary to support licensing and the study costs
-
Access to study participants, preferably through partnerships with K12 or HigherEd schools
