Agilio Software has partnered with R;pple Online Safety, a technology organisation specialised in classifying harmful online content, to bring an award-winning digital crisis intervention tool to healthcare professionals, addressing rising levels of stress, burnout and emotional strain, and uniting around a shared mission to protect mental health and prevent suicide across the sector.
By partnering with R;pple, Agilio is championing a practical, early intervention approach to mental health. Through increased awareness, shared resources and simple steps like installing the R;pple tool, healthcare organisations can help to foster a culture of safety and support for colleagues at risk.
A digital safety net in moments of crisis
With the suicide rate among veterinary professionals up to four times higher than that of the general population, the collaboration marks a significant step forward in Agilio Software’s ongoing mission to support mental health in both veterinary and human healthcare. By partnering with R;pple, Agilio is extending critical digital intervention tools into the veterinary sector as well as NHS settings and dental clinics.
R;pple is a digital tool (available as a browser extension or via Wi-Fi) that provides a crisis intervention for individuals searching online for self-harm or suicide-related content. R;pple interrupts harmful searches with a powerful visual prompt, offering a message of hope and signposting to 24/7 mental health services.
The tool, which has recently expanded its capabilities to cover a broader range of mental health conditions and life challenges (incl. substance misuse, financial struggles, eating disorders, domestic abuse, and more), is a proactive step towards bridging the gap between online behaviour and real-world help.
With over 1.9 million active users worldwide and intercepting over 100,000 harmful online searches to date, the technology is already making a significant impact. Now, thanks to the partnership with Agilio, R;pple is extending its reach into healthcare sectors where suicide rates are disproportionately high.
Championing well-being in healthcare
The partnership forms part of Agilio’s wider commitment to innovation and supporting the well-being of healthcare professionals. By reducing stress, preventing burnout and easing the pressures of day-to-day operations, Agilio’s software solutions help teams across the sector focus on what matters most – delivering outstanding care.
For R;pple, the collaboration provides a crucial opportunity to target healthcare environments where the risk of suicide is disproportionately high. Alice Hendy MBE, CEO and founder of R;pple, said: “Our partnership with Agilio Software empowers us to focus our efforts on high-risk areas of healthcare, ensuring we can provide critical support to those who need it most and make a lasting impact on mental health for as many individuals as possible.
“We are grateful to the team at Agilio for being so supportive of our work, and we’re excited to continue our meaningful collaboration together long into the future.”
