The project involved the launch of an online interactive programme designed to assess stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia for California based Managed Health Network, part of Health Care Inc. one of the largest publicly traded health care companies in the USA.

Sam Wauchope, Executive Chairman of Ultrasis commented "The internet has opened up a great deal of new potential for the delivery of our healthcare solutions and with the help of technology developed by PDMS, we are now in a position to take advantage of these new opportunities". The product created by Ultrasis and supported by PDMS' software helps employers, doctors and individuals to identify the signs and symptoms of stress and provide information on how to deal with it. Ultrasis recently signed an agreement with Managed Health Network to have their stress assessment product integrated into a major new system launch, aimed at their 9 million members. Tim Nicholson, Operations Director at PDMS was on site at their offices in Westport, Connecticut to ensure that the instillation of the software ran smoothly. Tim observed "We had prior experience of successful implementations in the States through our work with Black & Decker so we were confident that everything would go according to plan". Tim continued "My job was made easier by all of the hard work put in by the Project Manager and the development team throughout the whole of the project, resulting in a successful implementation and roll out." This project follows PDMS' involvement in the successful development of CALM Heart for the Calm Corporation who were acquired by Ultrasis in a multi million pound deal.
