Brain in Hand

Brain in Hand includes discreet digital tools for managing anxiety, remembering things, planning, and making decisions. A simple traffic light system allows users to monitor their mood, communicate how they are feeling, and reflect on emotions to build coping strategies for the future.

We put our users at the heart of what we do. Their personal coach works with them to break down difficulties and focus on what matters to you, supporting them to develop the steps to manage the day-to-day, overwhelm, or anxiety. As part of this process, we’ll work together to set goals, break down difficulties, and develop step-by-step solutions or structured routines. This can support motivation and reduce overwhelm.

Regular coaching sessions ensure users remain on track and motivated, helping to prevent escalations in anxiety.

If things get difficult, extra human support is just a tap away, 24 hours a day. A trained responder will get in touch by phone, text, or email to help get the day back on track.

Users can create a structured routine and self-defined ‘recipes’ for tasks that are difficult to remember or are challenging to manage. This supports with planning, organisation, time management, and establishing and maintaining positive habits.

A diary gives easy access to information about schedules and upcoming events.

Users can completely personalise their Brain in Hand software to include advice in their own words about problems they might face and the solutions they could use to overcome them (including links to resources such as timetables, contact details, breathing exercises, or whatever else the user wants to have available in the moment).

Libraries of practical ready-made solution packs developed with our user community provide quick suggestions for things to try in common difficult situations.

Notifications prompt users to check in with themselves throughout the day.

A simple traffic light tool allows mood tracking, communication, and reflection to build coping strategies for the future.

A timeline enables users to look back objectively at the problems they’ve faced and the solutions they’ve used to overcome them. Comments or simple mood-based tags can be added to capture how they’re feeling in the moment.

With a single tap, users can request contact from a responder who’ll get in touch to help them work out how to solve problems when things are tough.

Users can give their supporters (family members, professionals, or anyone else) access to their Brain in Hand accounts to help with reflection, communication, and development of strategies.
