Ultrasis - IS this the next tripple bagger performer (ULT)     

mcsquares - 13 Aug 2003 17:03

Over the past three months I, probably like most have benefitted from the movement in small micro - cap stock that have risen heavily on increased liquidity. The next stock, despite having benefitted from a massive surge in share price back in April, that I have focused on is Ultrasis. This company is poised to secure the ever increasing Mental Health Market both at home and in the US (Several lucrative contracts already announced)through its suite of highly effective software.

The companies web address is as follows http://www.ultrasis.co.uk

I for one have gone heavily into this stock and am prepared to wait for the realisation of its potential to kick in .I would advise others to do so

just seen rns feels like private shareholders have been sold down the river,would you have brought at 0.45p i would have.cheers woodie

squidd - 03 Jun 2005 08:20 - 251 of 359

Still on bank side, wanting to climb aboard, but thought there was to be a consolidation after the move to AIM. RNS implies not; can anyone advise.

I was gone... And am back again.... But will be gone again if shares go to .45p!!!

On balance I think it is good news. ULT don't have a lot of value yet TO dilute! If these are all placed with institutions/banks then hurrah - it gives them cash and the future looks bright. Have to say it is a risky play overall though.

Enjoy.

poverty there were not all with institutions cant be more spefic but monday all will be revealed!!!!!! cheers woodie

plm2349 - 03 Jun 2005 14:10 - 254 of 359

like i said just a yoyo,now you know where the money is coming from,will it be enough,maybe untill the next time,i am glad i got rid of it and banked the profits,remember news send shares up,but only profits keep it up,now that they got 738000 in the bank they do not give a sheet about the share price anymore
i will buy back one day maybe,but it will have to come down a long long way

driver - 03 Jun 2005 15:18 - 255 of 359

I have a similar view to Poverty I will hang about, or just put them in the draw, what ever happens I am sure there will be plenty of new deals to come in the future.

BEAT THE BLUES WITH A CYBERDOC
By Sam Lister

Computer programmes to defeat depression have been cleared for widespread use in the NHS

MILLIONS of people suffering from depression, phobias and panic attacks will be able to get counselling by computer on the NHS by the end of this year.
An appraisal of computerised cognitive behaviour therapy by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence recommends that two computer programmes be offered as treatment for mild and moderate depression, panic and phobia. The programmes, Beating the Blues and FearFighter, are the first computer therapies to be promoted by the institute, the treatment watchdog that advises on best practice for the NHS.

They work by asking questions that encourage patients to explore the conditions from which they are suffering and help them to identify coping strategies.

The watchdog advised against use of this treatment in 2002 because of lack of conclusive research but new evidence has now persuaded it of the clinical benefits and cost- effectiveness.

Rates of depression have soared in recent years, with an estimated six million Britons now affected. GP consultations jumped from four million to more than nine million between 1994 and 1998, while in 2002, doctors prescribed 26 million antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) more than double the quantity of a decade earlier.

The World Health Organisation recently gave warning that soon depression will be the second biggest burden on healthcare globally, after heart disease.

The final guidance from the institute, which is not expected to change from its current draft appraisal form, is due to be released in September.

Primary care trusts, which treat 95 per cent of mental health problems, will then have three months to ensure they have the computer therapies available for patients.

Implementation is expected to cost around 100million.

Unlike conventional depression treatment, based on consultations with doctors and psychotherapists and regimented courses of medication, both programmes require a single guidance session, dramatically reducing costs and pressure on staff. Random trials have shown Beating the Blues to be as effective as, and greatly enhance, other clinical treatments. For many patients, particularly those who fear confrontation with a clinician, it has been found to be a far quicker cure.

Of the 1.3 million sufferers of severe depression, only 10 per cent receive adequate therapy because of a reluctance to seek help and waits of up to a year to see a counsellor. Depression costs the NHS more than 1 billion a year and accounts for 6 billion in lost productivity.

Last year Swindon Primary Care Trust became the first trust in Britain to bring in Beating the Blues. A further three trusts have since adopted the programme, as well as private clinics such as The Priory, in southwest London.

Peter Crouch, one of the first GPs to trial the programme, said it had increased capacity more than fivefold. The programme, which was developed by the Institute of Psychiatry in London and Ultrasis, an IT healthcare company, takes sufferers through systematic steps to help them to think differently about everyday triggers of anxiety from running late in a traffic jam to being stood up in a bar. Character case studies the middle-class housewife, the elderly widow, the single parent offer insights and emotional responses.

HOW IT WORKS

The computer asks the patient how depressed or anxious they feel on a scale of one to eight. A progress report is compiled, and users are asked to identify particular anxious moments.

What has been worrying you?
I lost my dog.
Im sorry to hear that. That must have been very upsetting for you. Have there been events that have made you happy?
I found my dog.

That is good news. You must be pleased.

The user is asked to respond to different scenarios that might induce depression and anxiety.

You are in a bar waiting for a friend. Your friend has not turned up. How would you feel?
I would be concerned that they might have been in an accident.

The computer summarises the particular emotion at play, for example anxiety. The programme introduces case studies of others who offer their responses to the scenario, helping the user to identify patterns of negative thoughts."

Sounds like a load of soft handed social worker gobbledygook to me, but what the hell, if it makes me money, I should care!!!

Driver: Your advice on the PCM thread was timely. Took advantage of the recent price drop to start piling into ULT; will elaborate later.

WOODIE what do you think of the statement today.

Poverty - 06 Jun 2005 16:02 - 265 of 359

Yea, pint of Guiness please, Ta!

WOODIE - 06 Jun 2005 16:29 - 266 of 359

grandadg i know the statement was coming out i feel let down that private shareholders were not given the chance at a bargain price having said that the reason they went down this route was to save money. the estimate for an open offer and for it to be underwritten was an extra 150k.the money raised will help to achive quick execution of contracts it looks like the worst is now over as all the bad news is out of the way.cheers woodie

squidd - 06 Jun 2005 19:55 - 267 of 359

I have a friend who is an astute investor and has suffered from epilepsy and stress; he thinks that ULT will be a licence to print money, if it works.
I think it could be a licence to print money, even if it doen't work, provided it is approved by the authorities - which it appears to be.
After all there doesn't seem to be any standards of performance for mental health problems, everything is subjective and doctors simply send most of their patients on their way with a prescription for tranquillisers, with a risk of side effects and even addiction. Surely, in many cases,, it would be better to give them a prescription for ULT which at worst would give patients something to occupy their troubled minds. Thats how I see it in simplistic terms.

I agree lets hope that is all the bad news out of the way.
