Jimini Health, a New York-based digital health startup aiming to transform mental healthcare through an AI-backed clinical model, has emerged from stealth with $8 million pre-seed funding to revolutionize the mental care experience for patients suffering from various mental health conditions.
The funding round was led by a consortium of investors, including Zetta Venture Partners, PsyMed, LionBird, BoxGroup, SCB, and Arkitekt Ventures, among other undisclosed angel investors.
Co-founded in 2023 by Luis Voloch, Sahil Sud, and Mark Jacobstein, the team has a solid knowledge of Biotechnology, healthcare, and AI. Combined with a team of healthcare experts and a science-backed clinician-led model, the company aims to offer a satisfactory mental health experience for patients.
According to the company’s announcement, it will use the new investment to develop its data, AI, and safety operations, as well as products to support the company’s clients. Jimini’s platform connects with experts in behavioral therapy, enabling patients to receive individualized patient-centric mental healthcare.
Revolutionizing Mental Healthcare Experience Using AI
Jimini Health employs a combination of expert human therapists and clinically integrated AI to deliver a better experience for patients and continually support them in their sessions with human-supervised AI assistant called Sage.
The AI therapist assistant provides patients suffering from diverse mental health disorders with a great mental healthcare experience that cannot be delivered using traditional approaches.
Luis Voloch, CEO and co-founder of Jimini Health stated that the company’s mission is to integrate responsible AI assistants to support clinicians and not replacing them, offering a new standard of continuous quality mental healthcare.
Unlike other stand-alone apps that are not subjected to human oversight, Jimini’s Sage has a direct integration into the patient care plan, with a clear escalation mode that ensures care is adapted according to individual care needs. This ensures the responsible use of AI to reinforce healthcare objectives.
