Pennsylvania-based behavioral health company NeuroFlow announced it is partnering with Intermountain Health to help identify behavioral health needs within the health system's primary care patients in Colorado. 

NeuroFlow's cloud-based platform allows providers to monitor and connect with patients between office visits and obtain AI-powered clinical decision support with personalized patient recommendations. 

Intermountain will leverage NeuroFlow's Integrated Care offering, which includes whole-population screening and digital care, a digital care companion to engage patients, ongoing monitoring and self-care resources, a registry with patient progress, collaboration tools and EHR integration. 

The company will integrate its behavioral health analytics into Intermountain's workflows and provide patients with suicide prevention services, including access to trained crisis professionals. 

"The behavioral health workforce challenges are immense and demand for behavioral health services will always outpace the supply. On top of that, systemic barriers still persist, limiting providers' ability to identify and triage patients who need behavioral health support and connect them to care in a timely and equitable way across all communities. But with technology as a force multiplier, we're able to close these gaps sooner" Dr. Tom Zaubler, NeuroFlow chief medical officer, told MobiHealthNews in an email.  

"Our platform was designed to run underneath existing healthcare infrastructure, working continuously to track population trends and narrow in on patient risk. Intermountain Health is committed to an integrated care approach, aligning physical and behavioral health, and we're excited to introduce NeuroFlow to their clinical care teams."

THE LARGER TREND

NeuroFlow expanded its capabilities for behavioral health measurement and engagement in June when it purchased fellow behavioral digital health company Owl. 

The acquisition enhanced NeuroFlow's ability to help providers identify and manage behavioral care needs. 

The behavioral health company has collaborated with numerous healthcare systems, including Georgia-based Emory Healthcare and New Jersey-based Atlantic Health System, to expand collaborative care models for behavioral health.

In 2019, NeuroFlow secured $7.5 million in Series A funding, and, in 2021, it scored $20 million in a Series B round. The company raised $25 million in 2022. 

Last year, healthcare-focused investment firm Concord Health announced it invested in the company, though it did not disclose a dollar amount.

Other digital health companies offering behavioral health services include pediatric virtual behavioral health company Brightline, which announced earlier this week its partnership with virtual care company Teladoc to expand access to mental healthcare services to Teladoc's members aged zero to 13 years.

Last week, the OpenAI Startup Fund and Arianna Huffington's behavioral-change technology platform Thrive Global announced the launch of a new company, Thrive AI Health, to expand access to personalized behavioral change health coaching via generative AI.
