Congratulations to Ella Doran, who has today launched a brand new mental health support app, Kibou, developed in Collaboration with Element16 Media. Kibou, Kibou (meaning ‘Hope’ in Japanese), has been created to facilitate crucial connection and support for everyone in their everyday. With personalisation at its heart, the app uniquely features a personal support circle made up of the people closest to you, that is created and communicated with by users; a proposition that sets it apart from what is currently available on the mental health apps market. Kibou represents a refreshing step forward in how we approach personal mental health support, offering users a powerful platform for connection, empowerment, and community.
With 1 in 4 UK adults experiencing mental ill health in their everyday lives, Kibou seeks to address the pressing need for accessible and effective support systems, and a reduction in loneliness. Inspired by her own journey with mental ill health and fuelled by a passion for positive change, Ella Doran embarked on a mission to create a solution that would empower individuals to take control of their everyday experiences of mental ill health. The result is Kibou, a digital sanctuary where users can find solace, solidarity and genuinely useful support.
Unlike other platforms that rely on predetermined or anonymised support networks, Kibou allows users to create and customise their own circles of trust, comprised of the people closest to them. This personalised approach fosters deeper connections and enables users to receive the support that truly works for them, exactly when they need it.
From tracking daily progress to sending messages of reassurance, Kibou empowers users to navigate their own mental health journey with confidence and clarity. With features like a personal bio, users can articulate their experiences and preferences, ensuring that their support network is tailored to their individual needs. Whether seeking guidance or offering support, Kibou provides a safe space for honest conversations and meaningful connections, and is appealing to the mass consumer market.
The journey to bring Kibou to life has been a collaborative effort between Ella Doran and the dedicated team at Element16 Media. From the initial concept to the final product, Element16 Media has played a pivotal role in shaping Kibou’s identity and functionality. Through meticulous design and development, we have crafted a user experience that is intuitive, engaging, and impactful. Our goal is not only to deliver a successful product launch but also to lay the foundation for long-term growth and success, and we are confident that Kibou will achieve this.
Benjamin Wiser, owner of Element16 Media, shares his enthusiasm for the partnership with Ella Doran and the transformative potential of Kibou:
“It’s been a pleasure to work with Ella to create Kibou, and to witness her passion for the product first-hand. This is a truly innovative product that has the power to make a real difference in people’s everyday lives. We’re excited to see how Kibou will continue to evolve and grow.”
In addition to its free and Pro accounts, Kibou also offers enterprise plans tailored to sports and corporate organisations. With a focus on personalisation, scalability and accessibility, Kibou is poised to make a significant impact in multiple sectors, providing invaluable support to people across the UK and beyond.
As Kibou makes its debut on the App Store and Google Play Store, the team at Element16 Media invites you to join us on this transformative journey. Together, we can build a brighter future for mental health and well-being. Explore Kibou today and discover the power of hope, connection, and resilience.
