BFB Information

Founded in 2015, BfB Labs has pioneered the development of video game-based digital therapies for children using proven cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques to improve emotional regulation and resilience and now anxiety disorders. BfB Labs is committed to building future mental healthcare for children today with evidence-based interventions that are not only accessible and affordable but also treat conditions in an entirely new and engaging way. During this time of urgent need for digital mental health solutions that can respond to soaring demand, BfB labs is helping to enable NHS Integrated Care Systems and Clinical Commissioning Groups, schools, to provide MHRA approved, safe, flexible, and cost-effective solutions. BfB Labs combine scientific and clinical rigour with the ingenuity of emergent technology and games to democratise access to evidence-based children's mental health interventions. Lumi Nova has been funded by NHS England and NHS Improvement's SBRI Healthcare programme. Driven by BfB Labs' belief that effective interventions should be co-created with users, the people that care for them, and should also be highly engaging and clinically effective. BfB Labs treatments are delivered through an immersive mobile game experience to drive user engagement and compliance. BfB Labs flagship products include Lumi Nova and Champions of the Shengha, a heart-rate driven biofeedback mobile game that improves emotional self-regulation and resilience skills. Both digital therapeutics meet the highest standards in clinical safety & data security and are both CE marked and approved by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
