Behavioral Health AI

Voice AI care management for health plans and at risk providers, originating in vocal biomarker research for detecting depression and anxiety and now productized as Sage, an AI care manager. The distinguishing technical claim is the Empathy Engine, patented vocal biomarker technology trained on millions of live clinical patient calls, which reads emotional state from voice in real time rather than only transcribing words, and adapts tone and approach accordingly. Sage conducts inbound and outbound member calls covering health risk assessments, post discharge follow up, risk profiling, care gap closure, program enrollment, medication reminders, and triage, and is positioned explicitly as added staffing capacity rather than a chatbot, reserving clinicians for complex high touch interventions. Integrations include Salesforce Health Cloud and, through an April 2026 partnership with HealthEdge, the Care Solutions suite drawing on GuidingCare member data and returning outcomes to the platform. Company reported figures, which it acknowledges are not independently audited, include roughly 60 percent reduction in administrative tasks, 6x faster program enrollment, and 4x return on investment. Named customers per the company website include UnitedHealth Group, Aetna, Duke Health, and Highmark. Founded 2017 by CEO Mainul Mondal; approximately $75 million raised including a $45 million round in June 2025 co-led by Salesforce, Khosla Ventures, and CVS Health Ventures.

AI native operating system for behavioral health clinics, combining a set of named AI workers with an integrated EHR, CRM, and revenue cycle management in one platform. Sarah, the admissions coordinator, answers inbound calls, texts, and faxes around the clock and verifies insurance in real time, with more than 100,000 patients booked reported. Emma, the clinical assistant, generates ICD-10 and CPT coded session notes within about 30 seconds and is reported to have supported more than 3 million patient sessions. Eric handles coding, claim scrubbing, submission, and denial management. Laura manages between visit engagement. The fully integrated platform launched April 2026, partners with athenahealth through the athenaOne Marketplace, and reports clinics booking 30 percent more patients with clinicians saving more than two hours daily, across hundreds of mid to large behavioral health clinics. Behavioral health operations are a distinct problem from general practice, and the specialization is the point. Backed by Y Combinator, Precursor Ventures, Pioneer Fund, Rebel Fund, and Expansion Venture Capital.
