The Kado Effect Makes Its Mark on Singapore!
Mindlab Corporation had an incredible experience in Singapore, making our global debut at World Sleep Congress 2025! Our team seized the opportunity to engage and collaborate with the world’s best minds in sleep. We received positive feedback on our flagship product, Pocket Kado, the first gamified 24-hour core loop mobile application delivering Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
Developed in collaboration with Stanford Medicine, and the winner of the National Sleep Foundation Sleep Tech© Award in 2023, Pocket Kado enables users to care for an adorable Koala by practicing clinically-established sleep hygiene approaches.
Speaking with the wonderful colleagues at World Sleep 2025 has provided me with many learnings as we endeavor to bring democratized sleep wellness and CBT-I tenets to the world:
The critical need for quality sleep recognizes no boundaries. Human beings of all cultures, ages, health status, and life situation require healthy sleep habits to survive.
In a sea of wonderful sleep technology, INTERVENTION is scarce. Sleep diagnostics, both qualitative and quantitative, abound across the world; clinicians, however, need tools to engage patients in their daily lives.
Sleep and mental health are inextricably correlated. Pocket Kado presents a significant opportunity to reduce common barriers to quality sleep through mindfulness and variable reward systems to build healthy sleep hygiene habits.
Sleep technology has largely NEGLECTED children, from birth through adolescence, and we must rise to the challenge of building healthy sleep in kids. Our future depends on it.
Mindlab is uniquely poised to make a significant impact on our world! Of course, we will continue our mission to expand our Pocket Kado user base thereby democratizing CBT-I globally. This growth will enable us to maximize our engagement in the world community of experts committed to ensuring health through quality sleep.

In parallel to spreading the Kado Effect across the globe, we will tirelessly pursue partnerships with clinicians, researchers, and societies to ensure that Mindlab drives the forefront of gamified sleep interventions. I personally will travel anywhere and everywhere to learn and collaborate.
