PALO ALTO, Calif. and LONDON, May 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Big White Wall, a digital mental health service, today announced major improvements to the functionality of its LiveTherapy online video platform. Leveraging technology from Temasys, BigWhiteWall connects members with therapists quickly and easily, using embedded real-time communications powered by WebRTC, while also greatly improving security, reliability and scalability.

"The implementation of the Temasys platform ensures we provide the best quality service to our members, ensuring world class support and satisfaction".
Big White Wall provides a safe online community where members suffering from anxiety, stress and depression can get anonymous support, 24/7. In addition to Big White Wall's LiveTherapy and online community, members have access to a wealth of useful information and can work through tailored self-help programmes covering topics such as anxiety, sleep, weight management, depression and many more, all monitored by trained professionals.
