Ultrasis announces major new initiative in the Netherlands

Ultrasis, the provider of interactive health care services, is pleased to announce that its Dutch partner, Innohealth BV ("Innohealth"), has developed a joint venture with Medic Info, itself a joint venture between two of the Netherland's largest health insurers, CZ and VGZ, which, collectively, provide insurance to 7.6 million Dutch citizens.

This new company, to be named 'Psyhealth Direct', will offer Ultrasis' flagship product 'Beating the Blues' to treat anxiety and depression across its membership. The joint venture will be led by Henk Maasson, founder of Mentaal Beter, which is one of the largest private sector mental health care providers in the Netherlands. Mr. Maason also led on the initial partnership with Ultrasis to produce the Dutch version of Beating the Blues.

The development of this joint venture follows the Dutch government's decision to save EUR 600 million on mental health care expenditure.

Nigel Brabbins, CEO of Ultrasis, said:

"Psyhealth Direct will offer Dutch GPs and health insurers a much lower cost solution to treating depression and anxiety conditions than traditional face to face services. Over the past two years, Innohealth has validated the clinical and cost effectiveness of Beating the Blues in the Netherlands and this joint venture provides a direct route to market for the program.

"I fully expect that Dutch insurance companies will now be able to incentivise practitioners to use Beating the Blues as the treatment of first choice and therefore provide them with the cost savings they require to meet the Dutch government's objective."
