Backed by $40M and elite Silicon Valley VCs and strategics, Health Rhythms is a pioneering AI/behavioral sensing solution addressing the dual crises in mental health: insufficient access and lack of intervention effectiveness measurement.
The market now recognizes that there is no health without mental health. By combining the multi-dimensional sensing capabilities of mobile phones with the power of embedded and cloud computing platforms and novel AI algorithms, we continuously, objectively, and accurately measure mental health status for the very first time. We are realizing the vision of precision medicine for mental health by anticipating clinical deterioration before it reaches crisis proportions and by delivering personalized, just-in-time interventions based on each patient’s own behavioral profile. We have a head start advantage of 35 years of empirical evidence, 957 peer-reviewed papers between our four co-founders, a universally recognized best-in-class team, a robust IP portfolio, and the largest mental health AI data set.
UCHealth ($6B) declared "Health Rhythms will change the face of care," and its number one strategic priority is to deploy our app to its 2.5M patients. Otsuka ($18B pharma) invested in Health Rhythms after assessing 500+ mental health companies, recognizing our potential to revolutionize the industry.
The 5Rhythms® Dance/Movement Practice is a tool to help us navigate these times of constant change and bring our bodies, hearts and minds into alignment, so we can listen to the magic of our soul and spirit. Using music from around the world, we dance freestyle through five energies or beats:
- Flowing, to experience being fluid and letting things in
- Staccato, to focus our passion and clearly express ourselves
- Chaos, to shed what is not needed
- Lyrical, to traverse the earth with a lightness of spirit
- Stillness, to move peacefully in the rhythms of our breath
Each rhythm is a gateway for discovering different aspects of how we are in relationship to ourselves, a partner and a group. While the practice itself is simple, it has the power to catalyze deep healing.
Classes are open to everyone, regardless of age, size or physical ability -- for people who like to show off or those who can barely show up, survivors of bad backs, bum knees or broken hearts. Come to move, groove and have fun!
