Trost Mental Care, 140% Surge in Psychological Test Users

Predicting a paradigm shift in the mental healthcare market, Troost is achieving a remarkable leap in the utilization of psychological tests. As of March 2025, the news that the total number of users of depression-related psychological tests surged by approximately 140% in just two months is enough to draw significant attention from the industry. Specifically, a detailed look reveals explosive growth: the 'Depression Test' at 99%, the 'Self-Esteem Test' at 169%, and the 'MBTI Depression Test' at a staggering 655%, clearly demonstrating the intense interest in modern people's mental health. At the core of this dramatic growth was the acquisition of Troost by Dain, a subsidiary of Nudge Healthcare. Dain, having embraced Troost, Korea's No. 1 non-face-to-face psychological counseling platform, focused on stabilizing service operations and improving quality, thereby creating synergy. Furthermore, following its acquisition of Dain, an EAP (Employee Assistance Program) specialized company, last year, Nudge Healthcare secured Troost, successfully launching 'Nudge EAP,' an integrated mental healthcare platform encompassing both B2B and B2C, thereby completing the nation's strongest mental health management portfolio. The integration with 'Cashwalk,' Nudge Healthcare's flagship app, was a crucial move that dramatically increased public accessibility. Cashwalk users can now easily access various psychological tests in their daily lives, including depression tests, self-esteem tests, and MBTI depression tests. Beyond psychological tests, they can also experience diverse content that aids mental stability, such as sleep music, inspirational quotes, and audiobooks, all in one place, enjoying comprehensive mental healthcare. This user-centric, integrated approach is credited with leading to the actual increase in test utilization. Song Seung-geun, CEO of Nudge Healthcare, emphasized that operational stabilization after Dain's acquisition of Troost and enhanced accessibility through Cashwalk integration were key to this growth. He further stated that the company would continue to strive for service development through innovative psychological solutions to enable more people to manage their mental health systematically. Troost's remarkable growth is expected to be a significant turning point, going beyond mere numbers to elevate society's mental healthcare awareness to the next level.
