BeMe is a digital behavioral health company delivering mental health interventions designed specifically for teens. BeMe is designed entirely with teens in mind, meeting them where they are – on their phones - in a fun, safe, familiar mobile modality that combines engaging, science-backed digital tools with live human connection for maximum support and impact.

BeMe taps into the wisdom inside of teens - collaborating with them at every step of design to ensure that the BeMe experience and mental health solutions resonate with their needs. Within the context of

this partnership, which is driven in part by an active Teen Advisory Board as well as by data from real- world users, BeMe has identified that teens respond to the following core elements of the BeMe offering:

1. Content

2. Care Activities 

3. Coaching

4. Community 

5. Crisis Support and Clinical Linkage

Many teen mental health apps struggle to meaningfully engage their user base. While some digital

mental health tools have reported positive user engagement and adherence under certain conditions,

many apps fail to retain users beyond initial registration, with evidence of poor user experience and negative perceptions of app usefulness among adolescents. In contrast, once enrolled, BeMe has seen engagement that exceeds 60%, an average of 20 core activities per user and an average of 8 sessions per month per teen.

When comparing Ready Set Recover to Electronic Health Record (EHR) technology, the differentiators lie in the focus, functionality, and user experience:

1. **Personal Empowerment vs. Clinical Documentation**: Ready Set Recover centers on empowering the patient through their surgical journey with stress-reduction techniques, daily engagement activities, and emotional support. In contrast, EHR technology is designed for clinicians to document, store, and manage patient health information, focusing on the clinical and administrative aspects of patient care.

2. **Non-Clinical Guidance**: Ready Set Recover provides non-clinical guidance and resources to help patients prepare for and recover from surgery, aiming to complement the medical care provided by healthcare professionals. This approach helps take some of the burdens off medical teams by fostering patient independence and self-management.

3. **Enhancing Patient Experience**: The program is dedicated to enhancing the patient experience by making patients feel supported, understood, and less stressed. This focus on the human side of healthcare contrasts with EHR systems, which are primarily tools for healthcare providers to improve efficiency, track patient data, and ensure continuity of care.

4. **Community and Support Networks**: Ready Set Recover facilitates the creation of support networks, offering a platform for patients to connect with others going through similar experiences. This feature is distinct from EHR systems, which do not typically provide mechanisms for patient-to-patient interaction or community building.

5. **Complement to Clinical Care**: While EHR technology is an essential backbone for modern healthcare delivery, providing crucial data and analytics to healthcare providers, Ready Set Recover acts as a complement to this technology by addressing the emotional and practical needs of patients outside the clinical setting.

In summary, Ready Set Recover differentiates itself from EHR technology by focusing on patient empowerment, non-clinical support, and the overall patient experience, aiming to improve satisfaction and outcomes by addressing the needs that extend beyond clinical care.

Ready Set Recover sets itself apart by offering an intentionally non-clinical approach to surgery preparation and recovery, complementing the clinical care provided by medical professionals. By focusing on stress reduction, patient engagement, and emotional support, the program empowers individuals to actively participate in their recovery journey. This unique approach alleviates some of the burdens on healthcare providers, allowing doctors to concentrate on delivering the best clinical outcomes while Ready Set Recover takes care of the human side of healing.

The platform's emphasis on reducing pre- and post-surgery anxiety not only creates more compliant and proactive patients but also fosters a sense of being supported throughout the process. This enhanced patient experience contributes to higher satisfaction levels, which are increasingly recognized as integral to successful surgical outcomes. By bridging the gap between clinical care and personal well-being, Ready Set Recover plays a crucial role in improving overall recovery experiences, potentially leading to better health outcomes and a more positive outlook on the healthcare journey.

Why BeMe? What makes us different?

Right now, a teenager is riding the bus to school, standing in the hallway before class, or lying awake in bed each night at 2am struggling with feelings of sadness, stress, loneliness, and disconnection. And the reality is, the likelihood of that teenager getting the mental health support they need is less than a coin toss. Nearly 60% of American teens with symptoms of depression are unable to access treatment, and among those who beat the odds, outpatient dropout rates are staggering with estimates ranging from 28 to 70%. In the face of an unprecedented mental health crisis that both pre-dated and was amplified by the pandemic, historical and ongoing provider shortages, and mounting economic costs, the adolescent mental health landscape demands swift, clear, and focused transformation. In direct response, BeMe Health is leading a new wave of innovation in teen mental health and wellbeing, which prioritizes evidence-based, data-driven strategies and human connected support, cutting edge digital design, all of which has been created in collaboration with teenagers. When taken together, BeMe is well-positioned to provide rapidly scalable, preventive and interventive levels of mental health support to improve outcomes while reducing the cost of care.

Behavioral healthcare is arguably the most operationally complex care delivery of any service line. Moreover, health systems face incredible challenges ahead with declining and uncertain revenue streams coupled with increased operating costs and administrative burdens. Thus, understanding analytics and how they can serve as an all-important lever in improving quality and efficiency while enhancing the value of care provided is critical. Teen mental health solutions must center their efforts on technological solutions and secure their standing in the healthcare consortia through the strategic use of innovative capabilities. Through exhibiting analytics competency around teen mental health support, treatment, and meaningful outcomes, BeMe can drive teen mental health and well-being as the leading service line of tomorrow. Furthermore, teen mental health no longer exists in a vacuum. As such, payment mechanisms must move beyond an outcome only model, to reward care coordination. Indeed, delivery of effective population health management will be predicated upon interoperable, integrated care for teens. In fact, behavioral health should and can drive population health.
