Our methodology has been studied, reviewed, and endorsed by researchers at leading institutions. Here's what the evidence shows.
The Bipolar IN Order program — our first and most mature offering — has undergone formal academic study and review. As we expand to other conditions, we bring the same commitment to evidence-based development.
"Bipolar In Order provides the essential message that symptom reduction or elimination is far from the main goal of adaptation and intervention. Sure to challenge traditional thinking, this important work is integrative and wise."
— Stephen P. Henshaw, PhD, Professor and Chair, Dept of Psychology, UC Berkeley
"A critically needed and refreshing approach that goes beyond traditional symptom management to help people with bipolar disorder develop real-world coping skills and self-awareness."
— S. Nassir Ghaemi, MD, MPH, Professor of Psychiatry, Tufts University School of Medicine
Led by Dr. S. Nassir Ghaemi at Tufts University School of Medicine, this pilot study examined the Bipolar IN Order methodology with real participants.
| Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| Program Retention | 96.3% (3.7% dropout rate — strong for behavioral health) |
| Medical Cost Reduction | 36% reduction in early data (months 1-2, strengthening over time) |
| Participant Engagement | Consistent daily check-in completion across the study period |
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) has reviewed the Bipolar IN Order methodology. PCORI focuses on research that helps people make better-informed healthcare decisions, and their review supports the evidence-based foundation of our approach.
Researchers and clinicians at the following institutions have endorsed or contributed to the development of the Minds IN Order methodology:
What makes our approach different from conventional mental health programs:
Rather than defining success as the absence of symptoms, we measure success by the ability to function well during all mental and emotional states.
Comfort zones are expanded through small, manageable steps — never overwhelming leaps. Each person progresses at their own pace.
Daily tracking generates the data needed for personalized coaching, pattern recognition, and measurable progress over time.
Our programs are designed to work alongside professional treatment — therapy, medication, and clinical care — not replace them.
