"Blended Psychotherapy, a clinically validated digital therapy

YLAH is the first Swiss "blended psychotherapy" solution to offer best practices based on the latest research findings and existing technical possibilities. It combines personal consultations with personalized digital interventions between each session. In future, the whole pathway for patients and therapists should be easier, more efficient and more sustainable.

Why YLAH

With web access for therapists and a mobile app for patients, YLAH enables interactive transmission of therapy activities online. Patients are able to apply and manage therapy themselves between sessions in their daily lives, with tailored interventions, clinical assessments and health checks. Therapists apply the required standards without additional effort and can use automation to extend their services. The holistic approach and evidence-based foundations increase the feasibility and quality of treatments.

YLAH helps where it's needed most: more people with mental health problems can be better supported while saving costs in the healthcare system.

What is mixed psychotherapy?

The combination of joint face-to-face sessions with online therapeutic activities between sessions is known as blended psychotherapy. This form of treatment has proved its effectiveness in various national and international studies, and through the successful use of therapists in several European countries and the USA. Online therapy is therefore undoubtedly a useful complement to existing forms of therapy, and shows promising potential for improving patient experience, treatment effectiveness and efficiency. It's hardly surprising that renowned researchers and practitioners regard it as the "magic bullet of psychotherapy".

Blended psychotherapy enables users to benefit from the advantages of digitization. Practice can be integrated in the best possible way, using therapeutic tools in a safe environment, in compliance with legal and regulatory principles.

The advantages over purely face-to-face sessions lie in offering patients a wider range of therapeutic options and providing them with online support and training opportunities to work on their mental recovery, regardless of time and place. Outsourcing certain elements of therapy leaves more room for deepening specific content during the face-to-face session, thus optimizing the use of psychotherapists' time.

Compared with pure online therapy, blended concepts offer the advantage of regular contact with a specialist, which also enables support for people in situations of severe psychological stress or crisis. Adherence to therapy is higher, there are fewer drop-outs from therapy, and acceptance and recognition of mixed psychotherapy concepts in professional circles is significantly higher than for pure online therapy.
