"Further research on BTB"

"Found a short interesting article on the website of Telepsychiatry and e-Mental Health which I've copied below together with the relevant internet link.

Beating the Blues

Beating the Blues is an interactive computer based form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy aimed to help people with mild to moderate anxiety and depression.

It is a drug-free treatment but can be used in conjunction with medication. It provides the therapy in a user-friendly way and does not require any previous knowledge of computers.

There is a 10-minute introductory video for GPs, 15-minute introductory video for the patient. It consists of 8 therapy sessions of about 1 hour each. The users go on to work through 7 cognitive modules according to their specific problems. The final module looks at action planning and relapse prevention.

Beating the Blues features a series of filmed case studies of fictional patients, animations, voice-overs and interactive modules. Interacting with a computer is obviously different to talking to a person. Past experience has shown that the majority of patients find it easy to interact with the computer and find it enjoyable. During the development phase, a lot of effort was put into making the voice-overs sound warm and empathic. Other advantages include the option to go back and repeat sections. The patient can go through the therapy on their own and at their own pace.

The patient receives a weekly progress report and a copy for their GP, therapist, or other clinically responsible party. This gives the patients weekly depression and anxiety ratings and suicidal thoughts and intent. The patient's specific problems and how severe they have been during the week are also printed. The nurse or clinical helper is responsible for checking the patients weekly progress report, which includes some information regarding risk. The patients GP/therapist or other health professional maintains overall responsibility for the patient. All data inputs made by a participant into the computer are confidential.

Beating the Blues has been through significant independent clinical randomised control trials. The results of these trials demonstrate that Beating the Blues is an effective treatment for anxiety and depression, helping patients feel better for longer and be more able to live normal lives both at home and at work than those receiving traditional care.

Beating the Blues is used within National Health Service Primary Care Trusts, Community Mental Health Trusts and specialist CBT services as a treatment option for anxiety and depression.

In SLaM, an evaluation if Beating the Blues was carried out in Croydon, at Gresham 2 Ward. The results of this evaluation can be found at the 'Good Practice Database'.

simchow: Thanks for yet more news from the sharp end. I had been enquiring among health care professionals about the reception that ULT's products might enjoy on the ground, and your posts have greatly helped to fill in the bigger picture. All looking very promising and I'm expecting to see an sp of 3p again before long.

PapalPower - 03 Sep 2005 10:02 - 172 of 1525

I hope so squidd am watching ULT and the time may come soon to join in.

slmchow - 03 Sep 2005 19:48 - 173 of 1525

PpP: I think for you to buy ULT would be a good idea. Free PR of the sort now being posted by simchow, and numerous citations seem to be popping up everywhere. This one could soon again test the 3p level and then zoom up to 5p.

ON-LINE HEALTH CARE RELIEF SECURED FOR CHORLEY RESIDENTS


Chorley and South Ribble Primary Care Trust has today confirmed an order for a new generation of multimedia health care programs, developed by interactive health care specialists Ultrasis plc. The Relief Series will enable GPs to offer patients suffering from anxiety, depression, stress and insomnia access to interactive self-help tools 24 hours a day.

The order will provide more than 200,000 residents registered at any of the 36 practices within the PCT, with access to a series of programs through a dedicated web site. Patients will be able to use the interactive tools free of charge with the help of a user name and password provided through their GP.

The Relief Series has been developed by Ultrasis over a number of years and utilises proven Computerised Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CCBT) techniques and illustrates problem examples and best practice solutions using flash movie animation. All programs are easy to use and are available at any time, appealing particularly to busy people and those who prefer to access the treatment from the privacy of their own home.

Judith Faux, Chief Executive of Chorley and South Ribble PCT said; These programs are really easy to use and we hope that people will find them useful. They will complement our existing services, particularly because they can be used at any time of day or night by people who might not otherwise approach their GP or healthcare professional.

Ultrasis Sales Director John Smith commented; We are confident that the Relief Series will add a new dimension to the services of Chorley and South Ribble PCT. The deal covers an initial one year license, but Im delighted that we are already discussing a possible two year extension to the contract.

For further information about Ultrasis, please contact Dr Charlie Martin or Graham Lewis on telephone +44 (0)20 7566 3900 or email to info@ultrasis.com

strange no RNS

TheMaster - 05 Sep 2005 16:05 - 178 of 1525

squidd - 05 Sep 2005 19:36 - 179 of 1525

I think that's a fantastic bit of news from Chorley because it suggests that a national roll-out could be on massive scale, whilst a global roll-out scarcely bears thinking about. Think I'll be topping up in the morning.

Are these figures close or are they no where near????........

"RI posted this on 29th Aug it shows a remarkable similar out come to jayestoms calculations! realistic value on Ultrasis . 1/ Graham Lewis has stated on the Ult website that there are over 100 sites using ultrasis products already, 71 of these are PCTs . 2/PCTs would pay for a multi 20 copy licence of BtB as these work out cheaper per person than a single licence , 20 copy licence cost 34000 which would cover 750 people ,single copy licence cost 6000 which would cover 37 people. 3/ Most PCTs have between 100,000 to 150000 people in their catchment area. 4/ Lets say 10% of these people will need some pyschiactric help at some stage of their lives.so we have 10,000-15000 people need this help , not all of course would be suitable for this treatment. and not all at the same time . GL has said 1in 6 will need BtB so this is a conservative estimate ! 5/There are approx 300 PCTs in England and wales .all will have to take this option in the not to distant future . Probally next year at the latest . 6/ Lets say for argument sake that these 71 PCTs which are already using BtB have only taken 1 or 2 multi licences because it is a new product and did'nt have the official NICE recommendation when they bought BtB , 8/ so we have 71 x 2 x 34000= 4828000 9/ The other 29 sites using ultrasis software would probally only buy 1 multi licence , which would be 29 x 34000 = 986000. 10es are going well in the states[the recent news about the SUNY project can only improve these figures but i won't bring that into my calculation until we have positive news] and Canada so we can expect some income from them say 500000, 11/ So we have earnings for this year of 4828000 + 986000+500000 = 6314000 12/ with a average AIM pe ratio of 12 thats 6314000 x 12 =75768000 13/ That leaves us with a market cap of 75,768,000 which gives a share price of about 6p after the next results . Of course this is all just my opinion and the figures could be a bit lower or substatially higher , but i think if you see my calculations above they don't take account of the fact that most PCTs will have to buy in the region of 10 or 12 licences to cover their regions, you may not agree with the things i have said but at least i am trying to give a reasoned argument to why i am holding Ultrasis shares and not just because my mate said buy some because there going to fly .

WOODIE - 06 Sep 2005 19:10 - 181 of 1525

most of the deals struck were done before april of this year , they will be below the figs quoted as the co was struggling for cash. the idea was to get some sort of revenue into the co.

zeibcmva - 07 Sep 2005 08:47 - 182 of 1525

You are not alone WOODIE, the news are good and should get better,also this stock is very,very liquid and for a minnow it has a surprisingly small spread and even without Level 2 it`s easy to deal inside the spread. I use Squaregain as my dealing platform.

WOODIE - 07 Sep 2005 10:42 - 183 of 1525

zeibcmva welcome aboard just shows are the co has progressed you can now spreadbet on the co with ig index ,spreadex the spread is worse then the cash market.

pension271 - 07 Sep 2005 11:46 - 184 of 1525

So many rollovers yesterday and today - shows the confidence in this stock - folks are staying with ULT . I too had some open positions and rolled over them at nominal difference.
Good luck all p/271

Quickpix - 07 Sep 2005 12:53 - 185 of 1525
