The most successful consumer tech startups today obsess over solving deep pains or unlocking new behaviors, not just cool tech. Founders who win are clear on who they serve, what they monetize, why customers care, and where they scale. Check out Sunitha Viswanathan's blog on why starting with customers and not the tech is important for consumer tech startups. It includes examples of success stories.

April Health joins Wysa to strengthen its expansion into Collaborative Care management. Their collaboration will provide patients with continuous, personalized care, through a combination of behavioral health specialists, psychiatrists, and Wysa’s AI-driven guidance. More details here: https://lnkd.in/e6f8qPN4

Ten years ago when Jo Aggarwal and I started Wysa's journey out of our study in #Bengaluru, we set out with a mission to solve the challenge of mental health access, not knowing where it would take us. The journey took us to pioneer Therapeutic AI globally, be awarded FDA Breakthrough Device designation, embed into workflows in NHS, work with multiple insurers, and prove outcomes in US Healthcare with many RCTs and two NIH R01 studies. Today, it has led us to integrate vertically with another company that is solving the same issue for the US, with the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM). I am delighted to announce that Wysa now includes April Health, a leader in integrated behavioral health who are able to drastically improve access to care and outcomes for patients. The Collaborative Care Model enables primary care providers, obesity clinics, rheumatology clinics, to bring in much-needed revenue with no financial outlay; reducing provider burden while improving patient care. Over half of mental health referrals in the US happen in primary care, and most remain unfulfilled due issues of access and coverage. Wysa and April Health can together make a significant dent this problem, combining the best of technology with low cost human led care models to ensure that no referrals go unfulfilled and everyone gets the care they need. Wysa’s multi-award-winning Therapeutic AI Coach and Clinician Copilot will help April scale access to all patients, regardless of access barriers and insurance coverage. A warm welcome to Jesse Weinberg, Amy Shields and the April Health team as they join us at Wysa... look forward to redefining #mentalhealth in the US together, along with Grant Silow and Merrill Anovick at 25madison And as always, thanks to you all for providing wind under our wings Pankaj Jethwani, MD MBA Ajay Mahipal Charles-Antoine Janssen Manish Singhal Vidushi Kamani Sunitha Viswanathan Namit Chugh Vedika Tibrewala Roopan Aulakh Shubham Jain Chirantan Patnaik For more details, read the full announcement here: https://lnkd.in/gep6D7xz
