Valencia, 2nd, February, 2020   The Ribera healthcare group has become a finalist in the ABB Ability Digital Awards with a digital psychotherapy project to improve anxiety and depression, developed together with Serenmind, one of the first startups sponsored by the group, in their commitment to contribute to the transformation of healthcare.

These awards, organized by ABB and the Excellence in Sustainability Club, award best practices in digitalization and the Ribera project, through the Serenmind application, is one of those. The ABB Ability Digital Awards are holding their third edition this year and they have a panel formed by renowned experts on an institutional, academic and business level, which value the economic, social and environmental impact of each project, as well as their originality, innovative nature and scope. In this edition, in the Large Enterprise category, one of the three finalists is the Ribera group with the project “Digital psychotherapy to improve emotional wellbeing in matters related to anxiety and depression”.

The collaboration between Ribera and Serenmind started a year and a half ago, with the selection of this start-up within the context of the Corporate program Lanzadera in which the healthcare group participates. This collaboration has enabled the development of new applications for remote self-guided psychological therapy, designed by Serenmind. Their app enables the personalization of treatments according to the program that the professionals establish and the needs of the patient, who can access a great deal of adapted content from any mobile device, with videos, audios, texts and exercises related to relaxation, breathing and meditation techniques to guide them in their therapy. Patients can also evaluate their progress in the established plan, with “emotional tracking”. Furthermore, due to the pandemic, the Ribera group has offered the application to its professionals, alongside the Emotional Support program that they have in all of their centers.

The recognition from the ABB Digital Awards strengthens the Ribera group’s commitment to contribute to the transformation of healthcare from their own technological applications that their affiliate FutuRS develops, but also, through the co-innovation with start-ups such as Serenmind.
