Product
Nexi Health provides clinical decision support through Bruna, a conversational AI assistant, and Meripsy, a shared workspace. Patient responses feed preliminary reports and ongoing monitoring, while the healthcare professional reviews information and guides treatment.
Patient conversations before visits
Bruna asks patients about their mental health in natural language. The conversation gathers clinical and emotional information before an appointment and can be repeated between visits to track changes over time.
Structured information for clinicians
Meripsy organizes the information gathered by Bruna into preliminary reports and treatment suggestions. The clinician reviews and adjusts these outputs, using the workspace to maintain a view of the patient’s progress.
Follow-up between appointments
Patients can record their emotions and complete further conversations between visits. The platform brings those updates into the clinical workspace and provides alerts intended to help professionals identify changes requiring attention.
Market Overview
Mental-health care depends on repeated assessment and sustained contact, yet limited staffing and fragmented follow-up constrain access. Software can collect information outside appointments and organize it for clinical review. Safe deployment requires clear escalation processes, reliable outputs and professional oversight.
Nexi Health targets hospitals, insurers and pharmaceutical research teams with a subscription-based software model. Buyers need evidence of workflow value, appropriate data protection and regulatory readiness. Digital mental-health acquisitions show demand for scalable care platforms, while implementation and clinical validation remain essential.
More than one billion people live with mental disorders worldwide in the data summarized by WHO in 2025.
The global median is 13 mental-health workers per 100,000 people in WHO’s Mental Health Atlas 2024.
Median government mental-health spending represents 2% of total health budgets in WHO’s 2024 atlas.
Depression and anxiety cost the global economy an estimated $1 trillion annually in lost productivity.
