Vancouver, British Columbia – September 29, 2021 – Blackhawk Growth Corp. (CSE:BLR; Frankfurt:0JJ) (the “Company” or “Blackhawk”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, MindBio Therapeutics, has signed an agreement with Digital Mind Technology Pty Ltd, (“Digital Mind”) a medical research and technology company developing evidence-based digital interventions to improve mental health and wellbeing. The agreement will see the two companies collaborate on product development and the commercialization of intellectual property.  

Digital Mind’s foundational research and product development is creating new digital models to intervene in pain management experienced in cancer patients. Digital Mind’s platform and technology will provide unique opportunities to empower patients to adopt healthy self-care behavior for long-term wellbeing. Cancer survivorship brings unique challenges related to self-care and health services utilization. Digital interventions can address these challenges through personalized information tailored to individual needs and accessible at people’s own convenience via mobile devices.

Digital Mind was founded by Chief Scientist Dr. Lahiru Russell PhD. Dr. Russell’s vision is to empower people to engage in healthy self-care strategies to manage the impact of their illness for their long-term wellbeing.


Dr. Russell graduated with a Master in Biochemistry from the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Dr. Russell has worked for a decade in the pharmaceutical industry managing clinical trials. Over the years, Dr. Russell developed an interest in the psychosocial adaptation to illness and strategies to manage stress-related aspects of diseases. Her studies in Epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (UK) stimulated her desire to undertake research in this field. Following this, Dr. Russell joined the psycho-oncology research team at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Australia, evaluating supportive care interventions for people affected by cancer.

 

“Digital Mind Technology will be a great platform to advance research and launch new digital mind-body therapies” said Dr. Lahiru Russell. “We aim to build a strong body of evidence around the beneficial impact of these therapies on the mental health of people with chronic conditions. Our collaboration with MindBio will transform the way people manage their health.”

 

Coupling her personal interest in mindfulness practices and her professional experience in psycho-oncology, Dr. Russell’s PhD research was designed to determine whether a mindfulness program could benefit people with melanoma. The focus of the program was to empower participants to manage their health by promoting awareness of emotions and teaching skills to manage distressing thoughts. Central to the success of the program was the flexibility offered to participants to access the information at their own convenience.

Executive Director of MindBio Therapeutics, Justin Hanka says: “MindBio is evolving into a multidisciplinary company involved in integrating research & clinical trials, clinics, technology and digital therapies. We are excited to have signed an agreement with Digital Mind Technology to expand MindBio’s footprint into technology and digital therapeutics that benefits people with mental health and chronic conditions.”
