🔬 Edge Hill University Study 2026

A 12-week evaluation, run in partnership with Edge Hill University, assessing whether the Orpheus app produces sustained improvements in symptoms of mild to moderate anxiety and depression. Fifty participants will use the app over 12 weeks alongside five short check-in questionnaires, with ethical oversight provided independently by Edge Hill University.

This builds directly on Edge Hill’s earlier published pilot study of Orpheus in student wellbeing services (see our Publications page), extending the evaluation to a longer follow-up period and a broader participant group.
