Integrated digital behavioral health software for speciality care.
Hear and help patients sooner.
About Us
The story that made us is inspired by medical professionals across the country.
In 2023 we decided to solve for the critical shortage of behavioral health professionals by taking a fundamentally different approach.
After speaking to hundreds of specialists in healthcare we noticed that behavioral health is often unaddressed in specialty care due to lack of resources, cost and integration of services. However, it is often at the onset of chronic health issues that patients need it the most.Providers told us they are stretched thin and do not have the bandwidth to evaluate the complex biopsychosocial needs of their patients despite knowing how impactful it is to their treatment planning and outcomes.
We want to change that by integrating self-guided virtual reality conversational assessments that can be handed to the patient by an assistant and collect all the key data that providers need to inform their judgment and facilitate the coordination of care.This helps increase provider capacity, standardize care delivery, and collect meaningful data that enhances patient outcomes while maximizing revenue opportunities.
Patients often struggle to disclose their concerns fully, frequently feel like a burden, and don't always complete assessments or understand exercises—taking up valuable care team time. Our platform ensures care teams have access to useful and comprehensive patient data to deliver high-quality, standardized care.
Our AI is trained by medical specialists who prioritize safety, privacy, and reliability throughout our services—streamlining your documentation by converting patient interactions into EHR-ready clinical notes while meeting standard billing requirements from most insurance providers.
With this approach, we help clinics meet rising demand and increase patient throughput while optimizing revenue opportunities in both fee-for-service and value-based care environments.
