Synapse Cura
A patient-centred platform designed to connect people, care and information across the mental healthcare journey.
Three products that each stand on their own — for people receiving care, for therapists and for doctors — and work together when people choose to connect.
I'm receiving care I'm a professional →For organisations →
Synapse Cura is being developed to improve mental-health outcomes by reducing the burden patients face in coordinating their own care: across transitions out of hospital, and between the medical, psychological and social-care professionals involved in ongoing outpatient care.
Free for people receiving care. Not an emergency service — if you might be in danger, call 112.
Sharing per professional
Patients choose what each professional sees, and can change it at any time.
Every read is visible
When a professional opens a record, the patient can see who looked and when.
Nothing rewritten
Clinical entries can't be edited or deleted; each keeps its author and date.
No employer or research access
There is no route for an employer, sponsor or research partner to see a patient's information.
The problem
Leaving hospital. A new therapist. A referral to a doctor. A social worker who never hears what the doctor decided. At each step the history has to be retold, the messages carried and the next appointment chased — by the person least able to do it.
Becoming their own medical secretary, care coordinator and clinical historian: retelling their story after every change, carrying messages between professionals and chasing their own follow-up — often while unwell.
Medical, psychological and social care each see an hour and little of the weeks between. The others on the same case are rarely heard from, and the systems built for doctors do not reach the rest.
Care that restarts at every transition — most of all the one out of hospital — and little shared evidence of what helps, for whom, in everyday practice.
The platform
A person can start alone. A therapist can adopt the workspace for their practice. A doctor can adopt the clinical workspace. None depends on the others being present; connection is a reason to stay, not a condition of starting.
A personal environment for documenting and understanding their mental health over time: history, check-ins, reflections, medication experiences and life context — with or without a clinician connected.
A professional workspace: practices assigned between sessions, how they went, preparation for the next session and change over time — with no doctor needed on the case.
A clinical workspace: longitudinal history, diagnoses with clear authorship, medication history, reported reactions and follow-up — independently of therapy.
Connected care sits on top. When a patient and their professionals choose to connect, Synapse Cura supports sharing by consent, assigned practices and coordination between professionals, so different kinds of information build one continuous understanding of the person's care. Everyone works from the same history; each professional is responsible for their own entries. Synapse Cura doesn't diagnose or recommend treatment.
Around the patient
Every European country has built health information systems for doctors. None of them reach the psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors and social workers who do most of the day-to-day contact in outpatient mental-health care. Synapse Cura is being built to connect the people those systems leave out, with the patient deciding who is in.
Psychiatrists, GPs and other doctors
Diagnoses recorded with their basis and history, medication with its provenance, and what the patient reported after a dose — alongside the therapeutic side when the patient shares it.
Psychologists, psychotherapists and counsellors
Between-session practices and check-ins, the patient's story and context, session preparation in one click, and a room for working with the medical side.
Social workers, community services, nurses and peer workers
Not yet a role on the care team. We are asking social-care professionals what they would need to see, and what they would rather not carry, before we build it.
Titles mean different things in different countries: psychotherapy is a regulated profession in some member states and an unprotected title in others. Synapse Cura records each professional's registered profession and country, and the patient always sees who someone is before deciding what they may read.
The system
Inside a hospital there is a structure around the patient: observations, reviews, medication rounds, named staff. Outside it, a person sees their doctor for an appointment, a therapist separately, takes their medication at home and lives with the effects in between — and often nobody is responsible for the space between those appointments.
That is where problems accumulate: a medication that is not working, a reaction nobody documented, a missed follow-up, a social need no clinician knows about. When they escalate, the cost lands on emergency services, hospitals, families and social care — the most stretched parts of the system, at the most expensive point to act.
Synapse Cura is built on the opposite order: support people consistently while their care is outpatient, so that fewer needs go unnoticed until they are acute. It does not replace clinicians or solve understaffing. It is meant to let the professionals who already exist work from one history, hand over without loss, and see what the patient reports — without the patient holding it all together.
Not every admission is preventable, and whether this reduces crises, admissions or cost is something we intend to measure in the pilot, not something we claim. What isn't shown yet.

With that few specialists, every hour matters. Coordination is how the hours that exist reach the people who need them, before the need becomes a crisis.
Who benefits
For patients
Keep a longitudinal view of your mental health — on your own or with your care team — document relevant experiences and control how information is shared with the professionals you choose.
For patients: continuity instead of starting over.
For patients →For therapists
A workspace for your own practice first: assign practices, follow between-session experiences and prepare sessions, with or without a doctor on the case.
For patients: sessions that build on what happened in between.
For therapists →For doctors
A clinical workspace in its own right: longitudinal history, medication, reported reactions and follow-up, with therapy context added when the patient shares it.
For patients: decisions with the weeks between appointments in view.
For doctors →For social-care professionals
Social workers, community services, nurses and peer workers are not yet a role on the care team. We are asking what you would need before we build it — tell us.
For patients: the people who see them most, finally in the picture.
Tell us what you need →For healthcare organisations
Explore tools intended to support continuity, coordination, patient participation and responsible information sharing across care teams.
For patients: care teams that work as one.
Talk to us →For research & life sciences
Explore potential research partnerships involving appropriately governed, ethically reviewed and lawfully authorised use of relevant information. Research participation is separate from access to care, with no unrestricted commercial access to patient information.
For patients: treatments and services informed by real experience.
Register interest →One purpose: better patient outcomes.
Every proposition points back to the patient. Organisations outside the care circle never see an individual's health information, and Synapse Cura never sells identifiable patient data.
How it works
The patient writes their story once and chooses, for each professional, what they see. Every read is logged and visible to them.
Practices and check-ins between appointments, so experiences are captured when they happen, not reconstructed later.
Medication, observations, reflections and milestones over months — for better conversations, not automated conclusions.
The professionals on the team coordinate with consent, prepare for sessions in one click and hand over when care changes — including the change out of hospital.
Our vision
We envision a future in which mental healthcare is connected, continuous, collaborative and centred on improving patient outcomes.
A future where patients are active participants in their treatment, professionals can understand progress beyond individual appointments, medical, psychological and social care can coordinate across organisational boundaries, and research can contribute responsibly to better treatments and services.
Synapse Cura is being built to support that future. Our ambition is to establish a European platform that brings together the people, information and tools involved in mental healthcare, while protecting patient autonomy, privacy and trust.
One purpose: better patient outcomes.
Trust and governance
Nothing is shared without the patient's choice, per professional and per kind of information. Patients see every time someone opens their record.
Every entry keeps its author; nothing is rewritten. Professionals keep their judgement — Synapse Cura doesn't diagnose or advise treatment.
No selling identifiable data. Research only under separate governance, with consent and protections, never as access to patient records.
Designed in line with established frameworks. Improving outcomes is our mission, not yet a demonstrated claim — we intend to measure it.
