Mydecine with an extensive assets and capacity to become a leader in the space.
The end goal is developing products with clinical applications over a period of three
years.
“We see this agreement as a core component of our work as a company,” says Mydedine

partnership is a fundamental aspect of Mydecine’s expanding unique research network.
We are investigating the potential of mushrooms and their compounds to improve
human health and wellness.
This research partnership opens up, not only investigation of single molecules from
mushrooms but also more complex formulations. The breadth of research resources at the
University of Alberta, from world class AI to cultivation and pharmacology, as well as
their possession of Health Canada License allows an unprecedented level of study.”
“Back to the fungal future,” Dr. Neal Davies, Dean, Faculty of Pharmacy and
Pharmaceutical Sciences “Pharmaceutical activity of fungal metabolites have been
known for at least 15 centuries and contemporary research has discovered some novel
molecule leads for unique mycological medications for nature inspired treatments in the
new millennium. This bodes very well for the program developing promising treatments.”

About Mindleap Health
Mindleap Health is developing an advanced digital telehealth platform that will provide
support for people that are looking to achieve personal transformations and overcome
mental health challenges. MindLeap is the only digital telehealth platform that combines
telemedicine with mood, emotion, and habit tracking. This is a paradigm shift to
conventional mental health as Mindleap personalized support and users have the tools
needed to track their progress and take control of their mental health.
Mindleap Health is at the forefront of this industry with its digital telehealth platform
focused on the psychedelic therapy industry. Mindleap has recognized that there is an
unmet need for people to access psychedelic integration specialists and is creating the
world’s first platform focusing on psychedelic aftercare.
The tools Mindleap is building are the first of their kind to allow the patient to monitor,
record, and track their mood and habits (both positive and negative) along with providing
access to modern health services, namely integrated coaching to translate psychedelic
experiences into positive change.
The system is completely secure and compliant with HIPAA and GDPR mandates and is
being developed by a world-class development team with a proven track record.
Finally, Digital Mental Healthcare
As a society, we are becoming more familiar with digital healthcare. Electronic medical
records are now the norm. The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in more usage of video
visits to doctors as people sheltered in place to prevent virus spread. A crisis being a
catalyst is certainly unfortunate, but it did just make e-visits more mainstream as doctors
and patients alike embraced social distancing.
Apropos, already valued at $31.46BIL in 2018, the global telemedicine market is
expected to grow at a 19.3% rate by 2025, indicating that adoption is only going to keep
accelerating.
Mindleap's comprehensive platform, expected to launch at the end of summer, includes
video visits, appointment scheduling and payment solutions.
Mindleap is also capitalizing on the world’s love of digital technologies, such as
smartphones and connected wearable devices, in a newer science dubbed digital
phenotyping. By passively collecting data (e.g. sleep patterns, exercise, social patterns),
outcomes can be predicted using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
This information subsequently helps healthcare providers optimize support.
It is the epitome of the purpose of Big Data to anonymously help the greater cause by
aggregating massive amounts of info. It’s very valuable from both financial and
humanitarian perspectives.
The market opportunity as a first mover is tremendous, to say the least. There are more
than 577,000 mental health professionals and over 13,000 behavioral health clinics in the
U.S. to treat the more than 45 MIL Americans that have a mental illness.
To put this market opportunity into perspective, consider Livongo. The company has
made a splash on Wall Street ($7.4BIL market cap) with an application connecting
diabetics to physicians with the strategy that better engagement will promote better
health. There are fewer diabetics (~34 MIL) in the U.S. than people with mental illness.
We're at a Tipping Point
Thankfully, awareness is growing about the very real medicinal usefulness of psilocybin
and other psychedelics. Indeed, they remain illegal as Schedule I drugs currently, but
positions are beginning to soften to encourage clinical research. Oakland and Denver
have already decriminalized magic mushrooms and over 100 other cities are considering
similar action.
Leading research organizations, including Johns Hopkins, have dedicated millions of
dollars to study psychedelics, which will only help create tailwinds with every positive
development.
The next logical progression is providing patients with the best support possible to help
them achieve meaningful changes to their quality of life. That’s exactly what Mindleap
Health – and now Mydecine Innovations Group – is bringing to the table by changing the
shape of the aftercare model.
Big Names are Investing in Psychedelics (Should You?)
If you’re still on the fence about psychedelics, however, you need to know that there are
some very big names in the business. Some, like cannabis guru Bruce Linton, see the
same early regulatory signs and support that medicinal cannabis received. Others, like
Canadian businessman Kevin O’Leary, are investing in psychedelics after passing on
cannabis completely.
Both Linton and O’Leary recently became heavy investors in Mind Medicine Inc., a
private Canadian neuro-pharmaceutical company aiming to develop drugs with the same
mental health benefits but without the associated high. They’re joined by James Bailey,
a partner at the private equity firm Bail Capital that has invested heavily in the industry.
Another name that should be familiar to investors is Peter Thiel, the Silicon Valley
billionaire that co-founded PayPal and sits on the board for Facebook Inc. Thiel is a
heavy investor in psychedelics. He’s joined in the venture by investing in a German
biotech start-up with a lot of venture capital support looking to fund more research on
psilocybin, MDMA, and other psychedelic drugs.
A major driving force in the psychedelics wave isn’t a name, however, it’s a government
organization. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been impressively
receptive to psychedelics in recent years, starting in 2017 when it granted Breakthrough
Therapy Designation to MDMA-assisted psychotherapy. Since then it has expanded the
number of companies allowed to research the drugs, and in March of this year granted
approval for a ketamine-related depression drug from Johnson & Johnson.
Leading research organizations, including Johns Hopkins, have dedicated millions of
dollars to study psychedelics, which will only help create tailwinds with every positive
development.
As the emerging sector sees more trials and investments, you can expect more big names
to enter the psychedelics playing field. With cannabis acting as a roadmap and helping to
shift public opinion towards previously illicit drugs, and with a pure medicinal focus
helping propel the industry, it’s looking like psychedelics are the real deal.
