raises $1million to digitise the Mental Health Act

London, UK: Were proud to have raised a $1million (\xa3900k) Seed Round, backed by Ascensions Conduit Impact EIS Fund, Angels including Syndicate Room, and a private Seedrs crowdfund.Thalamos gives people who are sectioned under the Mental Health Act quicker and safer access to vital treatment by enabling their care to be organised digitally. This allows the most vulnerable patients to access life-saving mental health treatment sooner.Founded in 2018 by cousins Arden and Ross Tomison, Thalamos was inspired by the experience of a close friend who was sectioned. The completion of Mental Health Act forms is an essential legal process that ensures patients receive the right treatment, safely; but no-one should have to wait for care when in crisis.As demand for acute mental health care rises, the current paper-based system piles an unnecessary administrative burden on clinicians plates, reducing their already limited capacity. This is helping practitioners speed up the arrangement of patient admission, treatment and transfer, while increasing data security and care quality. Thalamos groundbreaking digital workflow tool enables those involved in patient intake, treatment, discharge and ongoing support to work together more seamlessly than ever before, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and more efficient collaboration between the NHS, police, care providers and regulators.Further, as digital health is a focus area for the Conduit EIS Impact Fund, Thalamos represents a strong addition to our portfolio of companies that are both mission-driven and highly scalable in equal measure; Ascension and Conduit Connect look forward to supporting Arden and his superb team and advisors on this next stage of their growth within acute mental health and beyond.
