Clinical board

Care, reviewed bypeople who practise it.

Nothing reaches your phone until two practising clinicians and a panel of people with lived experience have said yes. It’s slower. That’s the point.

01 The board

Eight clinicians.Eight vetoes.

Each member is independent, paid for their time, and still sees patients or runs research. Hover a portrait to hear what they hold us to.

02 Review process

1
Draft
Our clinical content team writes the exercise from established therapeutic methods — CBT, ACT or MBCT.
1–2 weeks
2
Clinical review
Two board members review it independently for safety, accuracy and tone. Either can veto it.
5 days
3
Lived-experience panel
Twenty-four people with lived experience try it and tell us, honestly, how it felt.
2 weeks
4
Measured in the wild
It rolls out gradually. If it doesn’t measurably help, we change it or remove it.
Ongoing

03 Safety commitments

In crisis right now?

Lumera isn’t an emergency service. Please contact your local emergency number or a crisis line in your country.

01
We never diagnose.
Lumera is a wellbeing tool. It doesn’t label people, and it says so plainly.
02
Distress gets a human.
When reflections suggest someone may be at risk, Lumera pauses and offers local crisis support, immediately.
03
No streaks, no guilt.
We removed every mechanic that punishes a missed day. Rest is part of the practice.
04
Your words stay yours.
Reflections are encrypted and never used to train third-party models.
05
Everything is re-reviewed yearly.
Guidance evolves. So does our library — every exercise is reviewed again each year.
