Following a year-long collaboration, Monsenso signs a three-year +10 mio DKK agreement with a global pharmaceutical company.
Monsenso’s mobile health solution will be used for real-world data collection across two studies in connection with the launch of a new drug for depression treatment. The studies are expected to start in the first half of 2021 and will run over a three-year period, covering up to 2250 patients and 120 clinicians across Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Sweden and France.
In connection with the two studies, Monsenso’s solution will be used to collect data from patients and their relatives through clinical questionnaires, daily self-assessments and behavioral data from smartphones and wearables.
In addition, the patients will be offered in-app study information and can receive reminders about medication and consultations with their clinician. Monsenso’s unique mobile health solution will in this way help increase the quality of clinical studies with real-time data collection while also facilitating better communication between patients, caregivers and clinicians.
“We are very pleased to expand our collaboration with this global pharmaceutical company and to participate in these projects. Depression is a leading burden of disease for society, and it has severe consequences for patients and their family caregivers, so we are proud to contribute to solving this problem” says Thomas Lethenborg, CEO of Monsenso. “In addition, the project will support our European expansion and our focus on partnering with pharmaceuticals, which is in line with our strategy”.
The project will not affect Monsenso’s previously communicated plans and guidance for the 2020 financial year.

Copenhagen, Denmark – 30 August 2016. Monsenso, the Copenhagen-based technology company developing mHealth solutions for mental illnesses, today announced a partnership with The Black Dog Institute in Australia.
Black Dog Institute is a pioneer in the identification, prevention and treatment of mental illness and the promotion of well-being. The Institute will conduct feasibility studies to determine if the Monsenso mHealth solution can be used to collect much needed data for a number of large-scale mental health trials.
“The mission of Monsenso and that of Black Dog are highly aligned. We both aim to enable better mental health care through innovation and science, therefore this is an exciting moment for both parties” said Thomas Lethenborg, CEO at Monsenso. “Monsenso is looking to build sustainable, long-term partnerships, with the ultimate goal of delivering better care, to more people, and at lower cost.”
As part of the on-going collaboration between Monsenso and the Black Dog Institute, Mads Frost, Chief Product Officer of Monsenso, has been invited to participate as a guest-speaker at the conference “Humans and Machines: A Quest for Better Mental Health” organised by Black Dog.
Helen Christensen, Director of the Black Dog Institute, said the trial would allow them to collect real-time information using a device that most people carry at all times – their Smartphone. “Our focus will be on collecting self-reported daily mood ratings and activity data that may be used to predict changes in mental health conditions over time. Ultimately these sorts of tools can be used to deliver real time assistance to those in distress at the time they most need help. However, like all good research and development projects, our aim is to test the validity of these approaches; their feasibility and the extent that they can provide better health care services. Ultimately, we hope to use these sorts of tools in our national programmes involving youth mental health and suicide prevention.”
The Monsenso mHealth solution for mental illnesses holds a CE mark and a TGA certification and it has been technically and clinically validated in clinical evaluation studies and randomised clinical trials. Furthermore, Monsenso is in the process of obtaining the ISO 13485 and ISO 27001.
