thymia
Thymia is on a mission to make mental health as objectively measurable and monitorable as physical health. Thymia’s AI-powered mental health assessments identify mental illness and its underlying symptoms specifically, accurately and objectively.
Over 1 billion people are affected by poor mental health globally, but more than 75% of them will never receive the help they need. As waiting times soar, specialist clinician numbers are shrinking; on average it now takes over 10 years to find the right treatment for depression, with GPs correctly diagnosing it in fewer than 50% of cases.
Thymia’s AI-powered mental health assessments allow providers, payors and employers to effectively understand and treat mental health issues. They also provide in-depth insights into mental health conditions and symptoms to support clinicians in triaging, diagnosing and treating mental illness. Leveraging engaging games for assessments, Thymia’s tools offer a frictionless experience, effortlessly pinpointing and tracking mental health biomarkers for all.
