Ksana’s Mission

Ksana Health seeks to bring therapy out of the office and into everyday life, using technology to provide personalized insights and interventions that improve mental health care and enable better living.​ Behavioral healthcare has traditionally relied on subjective self-reporting and periodic observations by clinicians and staff. Vira by Ksana Health transforms that practice by converting continuous and passively collected quantifiable behavioral patterns into actionable and objective insights for practitioners and their patients.

Benefits to Mental Health Practitioners

Practitioners can use these insights to build personalized therapy plans, and can make treatment more effective by allowing the practitioner to send nudges to clients at the most optimal time for behavioral change.

We are excited and honored to work with Microsoft and our fellow healthcare innovators in this program. Together, we can help meet growing demand for new mental health care approaches that are personalized and more accessible.
