It is one of 24 leading late-stage companies selected to join the 2019 cohort - revealed today (Wednesday) - and the only one in the Cambridge region.

Future Fifty champions and support British tech businesses as they scale up their operations nationally and internationally.

Those taking part get access to a powerful peer network, a tailored programme of masterclasses and direct contact to senior decision-makers in government.

A dedicated Tech Nation visa team also provides expert assistance with Tier 1 visa applications to ensure the companies can employ talent from across the world.

Dr Nigel Pitchford, CEO at Ieso Digital Health says: “To be included in this year’s Future Fifty cohort alongside some of the best companies in UK tech is recognition - for everyone at Ieso - of what we’ve achieved to date. I’m immensely proud of the team, and the business that we’ve built together."

Ieso Digital Health delivers cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) via an online platform, which is designed to improve access to mental health care.

Therapists using it deliver CBT to patients in real-time through written conversation online, using a secure virtual therapy room, accessible from a computer, tablet or smartphone.

Delivered free to NHS patients in Cambridgeshire and many other parts of the UK, the system offers flexibility by enabling appointments at any time of the day, including evenings and weekends. Ieso therapists, once approved, are able to state their availability and capacity.

The company has disrupted the industry - something reflected in its selection for Future Fifty 7.0 alongside the likes of London fintech firms Blockchain and Currencycloud, Bristol-based Reach Robotics and Nottingham software firm Ensek.

Companies chosen to join Future Fifty 7.0 must have gained considerable traction within their chosen markets and shown the potential to become tomorrow’s global technology leaders.

The 24 firms - 10 of which are in the fintech sector - join 26 from 2018, including Cambridge's Darktrace and Featurespace, for the two-year programme run by Tech Nation, which is a national network for technology entrepreneurs, part-funded by the government.
