Mission: To provide an innovative new
way of supporting people with psychosis,
a serious mental health disorder that
affects 1 in 100 people, via the use of an
interactive, easy to use smart phone app.
Why are we innovative?
1) Affigo - ClinTouch uses an integrated,
advanced but user-friendly smart
phone app to empower service-users
2) The app leads to informed discussions
between the service user and
healthcare provider
3) Affigo - ClinTouch efficiently
focuses on prevention and
personalised healthcare, encouraging
early intervention
