Orem, Utah (July 16, 2024) — Videra Health™, a leading AI-driven mental health assessment platform that empowers providers and health care organizations to proactively identify, triage and monitor at-risk patients to close care gaps using linguistic, audio and video analysis, today announced its selection as a Bronze Partner of the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, a Washington, D.C.-based association serving mental health and substance use treatment organizations across the country. With a shared mission and passion, this collaboration aims to revolutionize the delivery of mental health services across the United States and ensure accessible high-quality care for all.
National Council members will receive a substantial discount on Videra Health’s software, making this cutting-edge AI technology more accessible and fostering wider adoption throughout the mental health field. With a staggering 1 in 5 U.S. adults experiencing mental illness annually — more than 50 million people — the need is undeniable. And burnout among mental health workers sits at a staggering 93%, with more than one-third overwhelmed with administrative tasks. Videra Health’s AI solution supports both patients and providers during this mental health crisis by empowering providers with AI tools to improve patient outcomes.
“The mental health field is facing unprecedented challenges,” said Loren Larsen, CEO of Videra Health. “With a critical shortage of qualified professionals and rising patient needs, we need innovative solutions. This partnership allows us to work with the National Council, a mental health powerhouse, to empower providers with AI technology that scales screening and monitoring and frees up valuable time for patient care.”
“The mental health crisis demands innovative solutions that can reach a wider population efficiently,” said Chuck Ingoglia, President and CEO of the National Council. “There is a lot of promise in AI-powered tools that help address this growing need. We’re proud to partner with Videra Health because we share a belief in the potential of AI to transform mental health care accessibility for all.”
Videra Health’s AI technology goes beyond traditional screenings and surveys, allowing people to respond in their own words. It analyzes video data to detect subtle changes in facial expressions, body movements and speech patterns that might signal mental health concerns like anxiety, postpartum depression or even suicide risk. This allows proactive intervention and potentially saves lives. Videra Health’s platform also empowers health care providers by enabling patient progress tracking, leading to more personalized treatment plans. Ultimately, this benefits patients, reduces strain on health care systems and lightens the load for providers.
