Koa Health Launches Proactive Mental Health Solution For Employers to Unify and Simplify the Continuum of Care

Published

on

The clinically validated, unified platform aims to move beyond just therapy to deliver easy-to-use, real-time prevention, treatment, and maintenance for employees who may be suffering from anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, burnout, or other conditions.

BOSTON and LONDON and BARCELONA, Spain, Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Koa Health, a leading global provider of mental healthcare services, today announced the launch of Koa Care 360. A unified mental health platform, Koa Care 360 partners with employers to provide employees with preventive care, online therapy and a range of solutions personalized to individual employee needs. The platform also serves as a central point of access for existing benefits, connecting employees to additional resources available from their employer.

While companies have increased mental health offerings in the past several years, individual employees are not using them. In a Deloitte study, 68% of workers report they don’t use benefits because they are too time-consuming, cumbersome, or overly complicated to access. Koa Care 360 simplifies mental health care and provides a continuum of services that integrate with employer-provided benefits.

“Organizations are struggling to engage employees with mental health benefits, which is why we built Koa Care 360 to meet people where they are with personalized, clinically-validated care,” said Dr. Oliver Harrison, founder and CEO of Koa Health. “For organizations to support their people and help them become healthier and more productive employees, Koa Health saw a need to bring everything mental health-related into one powerful platform.”

With 59% of working adults dealing with at least one mental health issue, improving access to care is crucial.

“Not every person needs therapy, so it can be overwhelming for employees to know what they need or how to access the care they need using employer-provided benefits,” said Jennifer Keashon, Director of Compensation and Benefits, Americas, at International SOS. “Koa Care 360 was designed by psychologists to help employees understand what they need, quickly navigate to the right level of care, and give them ownership of their wellbeing.”

Employees can access the Koa Care 360 platform from any device. Each person first takes a quick assessment. The platform then recommends personalized, evidence-based services ranging from interactive self-treatment tools to clinical care with a therapist.

Koa Care 360 delivers clinical-first mental health care to help employers improve workforce wellness. The mental health service proactively maintains and restores employee mental health through regular prompts and easy-to-navigate care pathways. Users are guided through a mix of technology and human touch experiences to treat, mitigate, or maintain wellbeing and mental health challenges. This guided approach, delivered via a unified platform, reduces point solution fatigue, increases productivity and engagement, and reduces mental health related risks and costs for organizations.

The platform, built in collaboration with leading global universities, is backed by findings in 65 peer-reviewed scientific publications, 27 patent publications, and 21 clinical trials including the largest known study of app-based mental health support for health care workers. Koa Care 360 is offered in 83 countries and eight languages, and surpassed standards set by leading independent reviewers ORCHA and OneMind.

Fox ESS Celebrates Strong Momentum with Integrated Solar Storage & Charging Solutions at Smart Energy 2026

Published

May 9, 2026

By

SYDNEY, May 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fox ESS, a global leader in renewable energy solutions, attended Smart Energy 2026 during 6-7 May as a platinum sponsor. At the event, Fox ESS showcased its next-generation approach to solar storage and EV charging solution, delivering a seamless, future-ready energy experience for homeowners and installers across Australia.

Integrated Solutions Tailored for Aussie Homes

At Smart Energy 2026, Fox ESS highlighted its storage-to-charging solution, designed to make everyday energy use more convenient for local residents. With performance-led products and proven market traction, Fox ESS is set to play its part in building a more resilient energy future for Australia.

Battery Systems

Fox ESS continues to build momentum in the battery market. Sunwiz, an Australian solar consultancy, recently reported that Fox ESS ranked No.1 in March for installation capacity. And the company also revealed it has installed more than 25,000 systems in April. During the exhibition, Sunwiz presented Fox ESS with an award, recognising the company as Top Solar Company for Fastest Growing Battery.

CQ7 V6+ High Voltage Battery (42kWh and above)
Building on Fox ESS’ proven strengths, compact design and high capacity, CQ7 V6+ is well suited to medium-sized households and ensure the free use of electricity and maximize the self-consumption.EQ4800 High Voltage Battery (28kWh)
A reliable choice for smaller households, designed for efficient day-to-day energy storage.

Alongside its battery range, Fox ESS showcased all-in-one systems, including Stackable AIO and EVO, designed to simplify installation while maintaining a high standard of design and presentation.

Inverters

Fox ESS offers a range of inverters to suit local requirements, supported by up to 200% PV oversizing and a 10-year product warranty.

Single-phase: H1‑G2 (3–6kW); KH series (7–10.5kW)Three-phase: H3 Smart (5–15kW); H3 Pro (15–29.9kW); H3 Plus (50–125kW)

EV Chargers

With EV adoption accelerating, Fox ESS also offers EV charging solutions with solar linkage, designed to work across its inverter portfolio. The chargers provide robust, smart energy management, including dynamic load balancing to help protect home circuits.

A Series (7.3kW / 11kW / 22kW): IP65 and IK08 protection, OCPP-compliant.L Series (7.3kW / 11kW): straightforward installation with multiple colour options.

Big Battery Still Takes Centre Stage

As the Cheaper Home Battery Program moves into a new phase under an updated rebate policy, interest in larger battery systems continues to grow, particularly as more households consider EV upgrades amid rising fuel costs. More EVs typically mean households need greater energy availability, making higher-capacity storage an increasingly attractive option.

Looking ahead, from 1 July 2026, the Australian Government’s Solar Sharer Offer (SSO) will provide eligible households with three hours of free daily electricity to align with peak solar generation. Households with larger batteries will be well placed to make the most of this opportunity.

Fox ESS is also working with local VPP partners, including Amber Electric and Origin Loop VPP, helping homeowners unlock maximum value while supporting greater grid stability.

Maimai Comes Alive at the Exhibition

Visitors to the Fox ESS stand experienced a full programme of brand activations across the event. Following the online announcement, Sydney served as Maimai’s first physical stop, bringing the community together for face-to-face engagement. Attendees queued to take photos with the brand’s friendly and recognisable mascot.

Long-Term Commitment to Australia

Fox ESS has opened two local offices in Melbourne and Sydney, with more than 30 dedicated specialists supporting local customer needs. The company is also looking to play a wider role in Australia’s energy transition.

Notably, Ian Thorpe made his first in-person appearance at Fox Night, where he presented partners with awards. At the event party, Fox ESS also hosted a battery installation challenge, featuring eight rounds of competition, with the final winners receiving a range of prizes.

“We’re delighted to see such a strong result following the rollout of local policy. With nearly 400,000 Australian households now installing batteries, Fox ESS has played a key role, but this is only the beginning. We’re committed to keeping momentum and helping make a smarter, more reliable energy future a reality for more homes.” said Brooks Richard Geng, APAC & Middle East Managing Director, Fox ESS.
