Building the evidence. Building the partnerships.
VBuddies is progressing from working technology and early user validation towards research partnerships, clinical evidence and health-system adoption.
We are developing the company alongside researchers, health and care professionals, and people with lived experience to ensure the technology is relevant, responsible and designed for real-world use.
Momentum across technology, users and research.
