This approval is a key step forward in the development of the company's iSTRYM digital therapeutics platform

Mind Cure Health Inc. (CSE: MCUR) (OTCQB: MCURF) (FRA: 6MH) ("MINDCURE" or the "Company") a leader in advanced proprietary technology for psychedelic therapy, is pleased to announce that it has received unconditional ethics approval from Veritas IRB for its integration protocol research study. This study will serve to inform the development of the company's digital therapeutics platform, iSTRYM, and how it is built out to best serve therapists, patients and the entire psychedelics industry.

"This is a monumental milestone for MINDCURE and our digital therapeutics strategy," said Kelsey Ramsden, President & CEO, MINDCURE. "As we build out iSTRYM to be the largest data repository of psychedelic experiences, we are ensuring that its development is rooted in research proof and a deep understanding of the systems and protocols provided during psychedelic therapy. This ethics approval from Veritas signifies both the scientific validation of this study, as well as the importance we place on building trust and integrity with both therapists and patients."

"The impact of psychedelics is so vast that even subtle variations in approaches to integration can create a dramatic impact on a client's trajectory," said Dr. Mitch Earleywine, Professor of Psychology at The University at Albany, State University of New York and sub-investigator on this study for MINDCURE. "This work is bound to uncover important contributors to the best psychedelic-assisted therapy outcomes. Formal integration research is in its infancy, and traditional approaches haven't lasted for centuries by accident. An intriguing experience is great, of course, but altering someone's whole perspective can create gains that will continue to add to quality-of-life year after year." Dr. Earleywine is also known for last year's commentary underscoring the dire need for work like this study that appeared in Journal of Psychedelic Studies.¹

Known as a leader in research ethics, Veritas IRB has long been the research ethics board of choice for Canadian governmental departments, academic hospitals, regional hospitals, private research centers and non-governmental agencies conducting human research.
