Discovery Health expanded access to mental healthcare for 22,000 members in one year, with better outcomes and lower hospital costs
Amwell published a case study showing Discovery Health's SilverCloud-based digital mental health benefit reached 22,000 member activations in its first 12 months as South Africa's first funded digital therapeutic for mental health. Clinically significant improvement rates of 60% to 78% were recorded across depression and anxiety severity tiers, with 90% user satisfaction and 6% lower adjusted mental-health-related in-hospital costs in the year after use. The release is company-authored marketing evidence supporting SilverCloud's health-plan value proposition, with Amwell executives framing the model as replicable for U.S.
