From CBT-based tools and therapy scheduling to symptom tracking, journaling, and AI-powered chat support, we build platforms that are grounded in clinical evidence, driven by user needs, and fully compliant with healthcare standards.
Whether you’re delivering early intervention, crisis support, or long-term care management, 6B provides the strategic, technical, and regulatory expertise to turn your mental health product vision into reality.
Understanding Mental Health App Development
Mental health apps enable individuals to access therapeutic content, manage their wellbeing, track symptoms, and communicate with care providers — often outside of traditional clinical settings. These platforms play a crucial role in addressing the mental health access gap, improving self-management, and supporting blended models of care.
Key features may include:
- Guided self-help modules (e.g. CBT, ACT, mindfulness)
- Mood tracking, journaling, and symptom logging
- Crisis support pathways and escalation triggers
- AI-powered chatbots and peer support tools
- Therapist booking and secure messaging
- Integration with EHRs, NHS App, and NHS Login
- Clinical safety case development (DCB 0129)
- Privacy, accessibility, and data security compliance (UK GDPR, ISO 27001)
At 6B, we work with clinicians, designers, and users to build apps that are evidence-informed, inclusive, and safe — without compromising on usability or impact.
Our Mental Health App Development Process
As a leading Mental Health App Development company, we deliver full-lifecycle support — from concept and design through to development, integration, and scale.
We begin with a discovery phase where we align on your product goals, target audience, clinical framework, and regulatory needs. Whether your app focuses on general wellbeing, specific conditions (e.g. anxiety, PTSD, depression), or digital therapeutics pathways, we help define functionality, user journeys, and content strategy.
Our design team creates inclusive, accessible mobile experiences tailored for iOS, Android, and web-based delivery. We prioritise ease of use, safety, and discretion, ensuring interfaces are suitable for people with a range of mental health challenges.
Development is delivered using secure, scalable cloud technologies with embedded compliance to DCB 0129, UK GDPR, and NHS accessibility standards. We support NHS integration, API connectivity, user testing, and clinical validation where required. After launch, we continue to support performance, updates, and strategic iteration.
