Sensory regulation is becoming an increasingly important part of creating safer, more supportive healthcare environments, particularly across mental health, learning disability, autism, and complex care settings. However, many services continue to face challenges in providing consistent, clinically informed sensory support at the point when patients need it most.

At GIANT Health Event 2026, exhibitor Cubbie is showcasing a new approach to sensory regulation: a clinically supported platform designed to help healthcare teams deliver personalised, trauma-informed, and effective interventions across a range of care environments.

Moving Beyond the Traditional Sensory Room

Cubbie is not simply a sensory room. It is a fully supported, continuously optimised sensory-regulation platform with Occupational Therapy (OT) expertise embedded directly into its design and implementation.

Traditional sensory spaces can often rely on staff knowledge and availability to determine how they are used. Cubbie takes a different approach by integrating OT-led clinical reasoning into the system, helping guide teams towards the right response, at the right level, and at the right time.

This creates a more adaptive and clinically informed environment — one that responds to individual needs rather than functioning as a static space.

Supporting Healthcare Teams Across Multiple Settings

Designed to integrate with existing care pathways, Cubbie supports NHS and independent healthcare providers across a range of environments, including:

• Mental health wards

• CAMHS inpatient units

• Psychiatric intensive care units

• Learning disability and autism inpatient services

• Secure mental health settings

• Crisis assessment suites

• Mother and baby units

By working within existing estates and workforce structures, Cubbie provides a practical solution for services looking to strengthen sensory regulation and de-escalation approaches without creating additional operational complexity.

Supporting Better Outcomes for Patients and Providers

Healthcare providers are increasingly focused on creating environments that support dignity, reduce distress, and improve patient experiences. Cubbie is designed to support these priorities by enabling more effective approaches to:

• Autism-informed and trauma-informed care

• Patient sensory regulation and wellbeing

• De-escalation and reducing escalation pressures

• Creating more therapeutic care environments

• Improving staff confidence when supporting complex needs

Through a combination of OT-led implementation, ongoing optimisation, and data-informed insights, Cubbie helps organisations build evidence around quality improvement and demonstrate meaningful impact for patients, teams, commissioners, and regulators.

Extending the Impact of Occupational Therapy

A key part of Cubbie’s approach is extending access to Occupational Therapy expertise across wider services. By embedding clinical reasoning into the platform, Cubbie supports staff with consistent guidance and helps teams make more informed decisions when responding to individual patient needs.

This approach enables healthcare organisations to move towards more proactive, person-centred models of care, where sensory support becomes an integrated part of clinical practice rather than an isolated intervention.

Meet Cubbie at GIANT Health Event 2026

Cubbie will be exhibiting at GIANT Health Event 2026, where healthcare leaders, clinicians, innovators, and technology providers will come together to explore solutions shaping the future of healthcare.

Visitors can meet the Cubbie team at Stand C1 to learn more about how sensory regulation technology, combined with clinical expertise, can support safer environments, empower healthcare professionals, and improve patient outcomes.
