Triumf Health is now a part of a Health Tech Without Borders to better help the children affected by the war in Ukraine
Estonian-based technology start-up Triumf Health, which provides age-appropriate psychological and behavioural support to children is now cooperating with Health Tech Without Borders one of the world's most valued e-health service initiatives.
The Health Tech Without Borders (HTWB) association has been established with the aim of assisting people in Ukraine whose medical and health journeys have been left incomplete due to leaving their homes or lack of treatment options. The HTWB is a community of different health service providers around the world that consult those in need on this platform free of charge.
Triumf Health, which provides mental health support to children, and Viveo Health, the platform for long-distance visits, are the only Estonian-based companies to have gotten the chance to launch on the new site. "Our actions have been guided from the very beginning by a moral sense, i.e. a desire to help in the best possible way, and a very practical activity characterised by a lack of resources. We are convinced that technology can be applied to benefit people and in Estonia, where there is a shortage of experts, but the digital capabilities are highly developed, we have been able to create evidence-based solutions that really work. As both HTWB and its partner organisations see potential in what we provide, we have gained more desire to act," said Kadri Haljas, CEO and Doctor of Psychology at Triumf Health.
In early March, Triumf Health launched an updated version of their health game Triumf Hero, which is designed to support children with traumatic experiences as well as help children cope with different everyday situations. The game was quickly translated into Ukrainian and is now available for free in Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, Slovakia, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Estonia, where Ukrainians have fled the war at home. "Triumf Health was able to translate and adapt its evidence-based solution into Ukrainian at an admirable rate so that it can be instantly used and be barrier-free for all users," explains Hicham Naim, one of the founders of Triumf Health's involvement in the HTWB platform.
According to Haljas, they wanted to join the platform because it allows them to provide assistance to the people who most need it, regardless of location. "In very many cases, rapid and effective interventions are very necessary, especially in the case of mental health," explains the CEO, adding that HTWB helps them reach more children than they, as a small start-up, ever could in such a short period of time without global support. "With the support of the HTWB, we can help and support a lot of children both within Ukraine and in the countries bordering it."
The Triumf Hero solution continues to be available in different languages free of charge, download the game here.
