Rose Health

Rose Health operates as a mental health technology company, providing a digital platform designed for the early detection of depression and mood disorders. The firm was established in 2018 by Kavi Misri, whose personal journey with burnout in the finance industry inspired him to address the inefficiencies within the mental healthcare system. Based in the Washington, D.C. area, the company targets its services primarily to physician groups, risk-bearing entities like Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), and healthcare providers.

The company's business model is centered on a B2B approach, selling its platform to clinical practices. These practices then invite their patients to use the Rose mobile app. Revenue is generated by charging providers a flat fee for the product, which enables them to bill for services like behavioral health integration and remote patient monitoring, creating a significant return on investment for the clinicians.

The core of Rose Health's offering consists of a patient-facing mobile application and a provider-facing dashboard. Patients use the app for a variety of functions, including completing clinical assessments, daily mood and anxiety tracking, and journaling. The platform leverages a suite of proprietary AI algorithms to analyze this data. A key feature is its Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology, which analyzes journal entries to identify semantic tones related to anxiety or depression with high accuracy. This data, combined with digital biomarkers from wearables and smartphones—such as activity levels and sleep patterns—is aggregated into a "Rose Score," which functions as a mental health credit score. This score provides clinicians with real-time, actionable insights, allowing them to monitor patients between visits and intervene when necessary. The platform also delivers curated self-care content, such as articles and videos, to help patients build mental resiliency.

Significant milestones for the company include raising an oversubscribed $1.73 million seed round in 2021. By February 2022, the company was in the process of raising a $7.5 million Series A to fund team expansion and further research and development. In October 2022, Rose Health was acquired by Precise Behavioral, a California-based behavioral health management services organization. Following the acquisition, Kavi Misri continued to lead Rose Health as a subsidiary and also took on the role of Chief Innovation Officer for the parent company.
