Amae Health runs outpatient clinics that provide long-term, psychiatrist-led care for adults with severe mental illness, using a multidisciplinary team to coordinate behavioral health, physical health, and social needs. Its care model relies on value-based contracts with payers and a data-driven precision medicine platform to personalize treatment and improve outcomes, including partnerships with Palantir for analytics and with Cedars-Sinai and NewYork-Presbyterian to smooth hospital-to-outpatient transitions. What sets Amae Health apart is its VA-inspired intensive, integrated approach focused on sustained support and care coordination, backed by data tools and strategic academic collaborations. The company aims to improve access and outcomes for about 14.1 million U.S. adults with SMI by building a connected care system that unites treatment, health management, and social support.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Amae raised $25 million Series B from Altos Ventures in November 2025.
- Novant Health opened Charlotte expansion on May 18, 2026, widening North Carolina reach.
- Google Health collaboration on August 4, 2026 extends its precision psychiatry platform.
What critics are saying
- Clinic economics depend on payer contracts; any Medicaid or commercial pullback hits growth.
- Wearable-data predictions need clinical validation; false alerts will damage clinician trust quickly.
- If reimbursement and outcomes falter, Amae’s brick-and-mortar model becomes an expensive collapse.
What makes Amae Health unique
- Amae’s psychiatry-led outpatient clinics combine therapy, primary care, nutrition, and social support.
- Novant, Cedars-Sinai, and NewYork-Presbyterian partnerships embed Amae inside major health systems.
- Google Health wearable integration adds continuous behavioral data beyond episodic psychiatry visits.

↑ 26%Amae Health has partnered with Google Health Enterprise to integrate wearable device data into its precision psychiatry model for treating complex mental health conditions. The collaboration aims to address the longstanding lack of reliable, scalable biomarkers in psychiatry. The partnership will capture behavioural data from wearables, including sleep patterns, physical activity, heart rate variability, and daily routine changes. This information will be delivered directly to care teams, enabling clinicians to monitor patients with conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder between visits. Amae Health already maintains clinical partnerships with Cedars-Sinai, Mass General Brigham, and New York-Presbyterian. By combining wearable-derived behavioural signals with existing clinical data, the company seeks to detect early warning signs of clinical decline and predict relapses more effectively.
Novant Health partners to expand integrated mental health care. April 24, 2026- A new partnership between Amae Health and Novant Health aims to significantly expand access to comprehensive care for individuals living with severe mental illness (SMI) in Charlotte. Announced April 22, the collaboration will bring Amae Health's psychiatry-led, "whole-person" outpatient care model to Mecklenburg County, with the first clinic scheduled to open May 18. The facility will treat complex conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder, serving both Medicaid and commercially insured patients. The model integrates psychiatry, therapy, primary care, nutrition and social support into a single coordinated approach - designed to extend care beyond hospital walls and into community-based settings. A key component of the partnership is tighter coordination between inpatient and outpatient care. Amae will embed transition planners within Novant Health hospitals to help guide patients from hospitalization into ongoing treatment, with the goal of improving continuity and reducing readmissions. The initiative builds on Novant Health's broader push to expand behavioral health services across the region while addressing longstanding gaps in care for people with severe mental illness. Nationally, millions of Americans live with SMI, and many face fragmented care and frequent hospitalizations. By combining Novant's regional infrastructure with Amae's specialized outpatient model, the organizations say they aim to create a more seamless care experience - one focused on long-term stability, earlier intervention and improved patient outcomes. The Charlotte expansion marks Amae Health's continued growth in North Carolina, following its presence in Raleigh, and signals increasing momentum around integrated, community-based approaches to behavioral health care.
Amae Health, Novant Health expand integrated mental health care in Charlotte. * UVA Health Culpeper Medical Center * Apr 22, 2026 * 0 UVA Health Culpeper Medical Center CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Amae Health, a leader in outpatient care for severe mental illness (SMI), is expanding to Charlotte, North Carolina, through a new collaboration with Novant Health, one of the Southeast's leading integrated health systems. Building on its existing presence in Raleigh, Amae will bring its psychiatry-led, whole-person care model to Mecklenburg County, with plans to open the first of several outpatient clinics in partnership with Novant Health. The first clinic will open May 18 at 301 S. McDowell Street, Suite 320, and will increase access to specialized care for individuals living with complex mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder. The collaboration builds on Novant Health's ongoing efforts to expand access to comprehensive behavioral health services across the Charlotte region and extends care beyond the hospital and into community-based settings. Amae's clinics will serve both Medicaid and commercially insured patients, offering a fully integrated model of care that includes psychiatry, therapy, primary care, nutrition and social support, all delivered in thoughtfully designed, in-person environments created to support healing and recovery. People are also reading... Central to the collaboration is Novant Health's established care infrastructure, which enables the seamless integration of Amae's multidisciplinary care team across inpatient and outpatient settings. A dedicated Amae transition planner will be embedded on-site at Novant Health hospitals, supporting patients during hospitalization and strengthening coordinated transitions into ongoing outpatient care. This proactive approach ensures timely connection to comprehensive, evidence-based treatment early in the recovery journey, helping reduce readmissions and support sustained, long-term stability. Through this collaboration, Amae and Novant Health will work together to expand awareness of comprehensive care for individuals living with severe mental illness across the Charlotte region, deepening community partnerships and connecting more individuals and families to the support they need. "Expanding access to high-quality behavioral health care requires strong partnerships and a commitment to meeting people beyond hospital walls," said Dr. Edward Norris, physician in chief of the Novant Health Psychiatry & Mental Health Institute. "By working closely with Amae Health, we're extending the care we provide in our hospitals into the community - strengthening connections to outpatient services and supporting individuals and families throughout their wellness journey." "Severe mental illness demands more than episodic treatment; it demands continuity," said Stas Sokolin, Co-Founder and CEO of Amae Health. "Through our collaboration with Novant Health, we're able to engage patients earlier, coordinate care before discharge, and ensure a supported transition into long-term treatment. Together, we're strengthening continuity of care and helping individuals stay connected to the services they need to achieve stability and recovery." Amae's care teams treat the whole person by addressing physical, mental and social needs under one roof. National research published in JAMA Psychiatry shows that approximately 23% of patients with severe mental illness are readmitted within 30 days of discharge. Through integrated, longitudinal care models like the one supported by this collaboration, outcomes can be significantly improved. Amae reports a 30-day readmission rate below 4%, demonstrating the potential impact of coordinated, team-based care. The Charlotte expansion builds on Amae's growing national footprint of health system collaborations, including NewYork-Presbyterian, Mass General Brigham and Cedars-Sinai, and reflects the company's continued commitment to expanding access to high-quality, comprehensive care across North Carolina.
