Employees are experiencing rising levels of stress, yet many do not seek help until their symptoms significantly worsen. VitalMindz faced the challenge of activating employees earlier and giving them low-threshold access to both self-help resources and professional support. At the same time, across MCG, existing systems were fragmented: three target groups—clients, employers/employees and practitioners—needed separate yet interconnected portals. The organisation required technology that was secure, highly accessible for all ages and abilities, adaptable to rapid changes in healthcare, and capable of supporting e-health, remote care and streamlined administrative workflows. Traditional software solutions did not meet these demands, prompting the move toward a flexible, reusable low-code approach.
Business Need: Employees are experiencing rising levels of stress, yet many do not seek help until their symptoms significantly worsen.

The organisation required technology that was secure, highly accessible for all ages and abilities, adaptable to rapid changes in healthcare, and capable of supporting e-health, remote care and streamlined administrative workflows. Traditional software solutions did not meet these demands, prompting the move toward a flexible, reusable low-code approach.
Solution: Ciphix developed a suite of three Mendix-based care portals—starting with the VitalMindz employee wellbeing portal—to centralise mental health support, self-help content, coaching, treatment interactions and administrative processes in one seamlessly integrated environment. Key solution components All-in-one digital wellbeing platform providing preventive mental health support anytime, anywhere. Personalised dashboard displaying user progress and tailored recommendations. Interactive self-help modules focused on stress, sleep, resilience and overall wellbeing.

Simple appointment scheduling with mental health professionals through the app. Reusable low-code components across all three portals, significantly reducing development time. Secure e-health functionalities such as chat and video consultations, compliant with strict healthcare privacy standards.
