San Francisco-based Amae Health secured $15M in Series A investment to provide patient-centered care for severe mental illness.
Healthier Capital, Baszucki Group, Index Ventures Managing Partner Mike Volpi, Bling Capital, 8VC, Virtue, and Able Partners joined Quiet Capital in the round.
Funds will be used to expand to additional places and invest in precision medicine.
Amae Health, led by CEO Stas Sokolin and CPO Sonia Garcia, improves severe mental disease treatment and care through a value-based, psychiatry-driven paradigm. The organization intends to improve patient outcomes and set a new mental health care standard by combining complete care teams and using technology.
Our progressive care methodology is personalized to each patient’s needs and builds a lifelong relationship to manage their illness. The business will also collaborate with UCLA and Apple on a Digital Sensing for SMI Patients project to enhance severe mental illness therapy. Amae Health and the Baszucki Group are conducting a ketogenic trial for SMI patients to investigate metabolic psychiatry’s advantages. Palantir will be used to establish a precision medicine platform to enhance psychiatry, the business revealed.
The first clinic is in LA.
“Severe mental illness is a chronic condition requiring lifelong, adaptive care. We bring about long-lasting transformation for our members by treating each person as a whole and attending to their long-term requirements. We have established the framework to function as a research organization as long-term care providers, advancing the area of psychiatry. We will be starting a number of innovative research trials in the upcoming months to improve our knowledge of and ability to treat SMI.”
