Headspace (company)

[10] In June 2018, the company launched Headspace Health, a subsidiary aimed at developing FDA-approved meditation tools that would be prescribed to help treat a range of chronic diseases.[18] Headspace provides guided meditation resources online, accessible to users through the company's website and via a mobile app on the iPhone and Android platforms.[19] Content in version 2 of the app focused on four areas once users have completed the Foundation Stage: health, performance, relationships, and Headspace Pro.In October 2023, the Headspace-Ginger merger resulted in the combination of Ginger's mental health coaching and online therapy services under the Headspace brand.The program, titled Finding Your Best Sleep, used principles of Cognitive Behavorial Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and was guided by Headspace psychologist Eric Prather and Kamau.In one such study, researchers from UCL,[30] funded by the British Heart Foundation, examined the impact of mindfulness on workplace stress in two major multinational corporations, using the Headspace app as the intervention.In July 2023, former Headspace therapists affected by a round of layoffs accused the company of canceling patient appointments and severing relationships with clinicians without advanced notice, potentially violating ethical standards of care.
