About
Developed in partnership with the Southampton Autism Diagnostic Research Centre, Brain in Hand is used by thousands of people across health, social care, and higher education in the UK. Funding routes include Access to Work and Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) as well as private subscription. It is available on iOS, Android, and via web browser.
What It Does
Users build a personalised daily schedule with coping strategies mapped to each event. A traffic-light mood tracker lets users flag their distress level in real time, triggering access to a personal solution library or a trained human support coach available 24/7 by text or phone. Regular virtual coaching sessions help users build sustainable routines and increase self-awareness.
Who It Helps
Autistic adults, people with ADHD, and others with acquired brain injury or mental health conditions who need structured daily support, coping strategy frameworks, and access to responsive human guidance — particularly students and working adults navigating higher education or employment.
