Where clinical meets story-led digital experiences for mental health

Liminal Senses is a specialist design studio and consultancy for digital health.

We research. We build. We advise.

We help researchers, clinicians, developers and health innovators design, develop and evaluate narrative-driven digital interventions that can become real NHS services and healthcare products.

Liminal Senses turns clinical evidence into story-led digital services that people actually use.

We offer consultancy, design and operational research under one roof.

We publish what we learn.

We sit at the intersection of human-centered research, gamification design and clinical insight.

This is an under-explored space, and we are helping to shape it.
