Case Study: University of Manitoba improves family mental health support with MindSea

University of Manitoba launches BEAM app in 7 months and raises ORCHA score to 80%+ with MindSea

The University of Manitoba's research team needed a development partner to build a reliable app for their BEAM program, an initiative designed to support family mental health. After a previous development experience with communication challenges, they required a vendor with expertise in digital health and a collaborative approach to bring their evidence-based, patient-oriented vision to life. They chose MindSea for the app development.

MindSea designed and developed the BEAM app, ensuring it was professional, glitch-free, and worked across different devices. Their solution included building user journeys, prototyping, and incorporating feedback from partners and a parent advisory board. As a result, the app achieved an ORCHA accreditation score of over 80%, becoming a recommended product. MindSea also ensured all data was stored in Canada for privacy compliance and established an ongoing partnership for maintenance and future expansions, helping the program reach more families.
