- The health group and the company specializing in remote self-guided therapies have already developed together a pilot project for Primary Care in the health departments of Vinalopó and Torrevieja, in the context of the Lanzadera Corporate Program
- The new protocol is supervised by the multidisciplinary team of the Ribera Breast Area, made up of psycho-oncologists, case management nurses, radiologists, surgeons, pathologists and oncologists, among others.
The health group Ribera has formalized its commitment to the startup serenmind, with a first investment destined to the co-creation of a specialized online psychological program, which serves as support for patients diagnosed with breast cancer. This alliance is part of a broader project, which covers the Mental Health and Oncology vertical and confirms Ribera's commitment to co-innovation and the digital transformation of health care.
This alliance between Ribera and Serenmind reinforces the shared and transversal program of the Breast Area of the health group, which facilitates fast, personalized and specialized care for patients with breast cancer.

The project that is going to be developed now with Serenmind will make it possible to expand this emotional support for patients in the different phases of this pathology, with individual support and monitoring, 24 hours a day, thanks to the application of this startup, which is going to prepare, together with the Breast Area team, materials adapted to each of the moments that these patients are going through, audios, self-guided therapy sessions, mindfulness and their own relaxation techniques, statistics to monitor their own evolution and balance of skills acquired. The project has already been approved by the Research Ethics Committee to carry out a multicenter study in the Torrejón University Hospital, Vinalopó University Hospital y Ribera Povisa Hospital, in order to analyze its acceptability and preliminary efficacy.
Ribera and Serenmind have previously collaborated, with the development of a pilot project of online psychological care in the Primary Care centers of the health departments of Vinalopó and Torrevieja, managed by the health group, in the context of the Corporate deShuttle. The pilot has been a success, with very positive results: the use of the application reduced the symptoms of depression by 6 points and anxiety by 7,3 points in patients. In addition, it obtained 80% satisfaction.
