Our Founder Team
The company was founded in 2015 under the name GET.ON Institut für Online Gesundheitstrainings GmbH by an interdisciplinary team of scientists and experts. Among them were Prof. Dr. David Ebert (CSO and Professor of Psychology & Digital Mental Health Care at the Technical University of Munich), and the two psychologists Dr. Hanne Horvath (VP Business Development) and Dr. Elena Heber (VP Content and Research).
In 2019, the start-up expanded its founding circle to include the experienced founder Hannes Klöpper (CEO).
A year later, the team developed the HelloBetter brand, closed a seed funding round, and signed a cooperation agreement with Allianz. A scientific advisory board as well as a practice advisory board with experts from various fields have been supporting the work of the experienced founding team since 2020. HelloBetter / GET.ON can look back on over ten years of research: the first courses were already developed in 2011 as part of a research project at Leuphana University Lüneburg. Since the university spin-off of the GET.ON Institute, the start-up has been working closely with the BARMER health insurance company.
In the meantime, more than 40,000 users have already completed HelloBetter's online courses.
Proven effectiveness
HelloBetter has been an innovation leader in the e-mental health sector for years. The online courses we offer were developed and evaluated by an interdisciplinary team of scientists from the fields of psychology, occupational medicine, health economics, computer science and design. It is testament to our high quality standards that we only offer courses that have proven to be effective in at least one clinical study that meets the quality criteria of scientific journals.
No other provider worldwide has conducted so many clinical studies on the effectiveness of its online psychological courses. The effectiveness of our online psychological courses has been assessed in over 30 randomised controlled trials that have already been published or are about to be. The results show that our online courses can be just as effective as traditional face-to-face therapy.
