About
We combine expertise in AI, neuroscience, and clinical practice to build solutions for every dimension of mental health assessment and care.
Our vision for psychiatry
We believe that psychiatry is at a crossroads. The traditional model of care is not sustainable. We need to move towards a more patient-centered model of care.
Our Values
We strongly believe that high-quality care is the engine of engagement, patient outcome, and financial sustainability. Quality is prioritized at every step.
Our technology is built on scientific foundations, with every feature and algorithm developed with rigorous research and clinical testing.
We deploy AI technology responsibly, guided by ethics, safety, and impact. All our solutions are informed by patient and clinician feedback.
Our Story
Founded in 2024, Psyrin emerged from a collaboration between doctors, clinical psychologists, and AI researchers who recognized the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in mental healthcare.
Our founding team saw firsthand how clinicians were overwhelmed with administrative tasks, limiting their ability to deliver personalized care. Meanwhile, patients struggled with fragmented assessment processes and limited support between sessions.
But we also recognized deeper challenges: the field's reliance on subjective diagnostic categories, the one-size-fits-all approach to treatment, and the reactive nature of mental healthcare that waits for crises rather than preventing them.
Psyrin was created to address these challenges by developing intelligent systems that enhance the quality of care while improving operational efficiency for mental health providers. Through AI-powered structured interviews, comprehensive patient monitoring, and emerging biomarker integration, we're methodically laying the groundwork for the precision psychiatry we believe is possible.
Today, our technology is used by leading clinics and research institutions, supporting clinicians and improving outcomes for patients across the mental health spectrum.
