Mend

What Mend does

Mend is a private healthcare technology company that provides an AI-powered operational platform purpose-built for behavioral health organizations. Founded in 2014 in Orlando, Florida (originally launched as "Doctors on Demand"), the company pivoted in 2023 to focus exclusively on mental and behavioral healthcare after determining that general-purpose telehealth platforms were inadequate for the operational complexity of behavioral health delivery. The platform is positioned as an operational AI layer that sits on top of customers' existing EHR systems rather than replacing them, targeting behavioral health providers, Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs), and multi-site outpatient operators across all 50 US states.

The core product is a multi-agent AI architecture comprising three modules: Patient Readiness Agent (Engage) for predicting no-show risk and automating multilingual outreach; Scheduling Agent (Access) for self-scheduling, capacity recovery, and AI-powered Smart Waitlists; and AI Co-Pilot (Mend Signal) for real-time operational analytics across clinical, financial, and utilization dimensions. Supporting modules include a Measurement-Based Care extension connecting evidence-based outcome tracking to operational follow-through, HIPAA-compliant telemedicine with virtual visits, digital intake forms achieving up to 98% engagement rates, automated patient payments, and bidirectional EHR/PMS integrations with 15+ platforms including Epic, Cerner, athenaOne, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Netsmart, and Qualifacts. The company claims 25M+ client visits facilitated, a 99% attendance-prediction accuracy from a behavioral-health-specific model, and 42 CFR Part 2 compliance for substance use disorder information.

Mend operates a subscription-based enterprise SaaS model with tiered modules and a contractual ROI guarantee (offering credits if targets are not met), with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with demo-driven evaluation, conference presence at behavioral health industry events (NATCON, VALUE, OPEN MINDS), and content-led demand generation targeting CFOs, COOs, and clinical leaders of behavioral health organizations and CCBHCs.

Core offering

Mend is a behavioral health AI platform that helps healthcare organizations reduce patient no-show rates, recover open clinical capacity, and capture additional revenue. The platform integrates directly with existing Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems and offers multiple AI-powered modules that automate patient engagement tasks such as appointment reminders, confirmations, rescheduling, and follow-up communications, enabling behavioral health providers to operate more efficiently and recover lost billable visits.

Product overview

Mend is a platform-plus-modules architecture offering Behavioral Health's AI Platform as the core operational layer. The platform is built around three AI-powered agents: Patient Readiness Agent (Engage) for automated outreach, appointment reminders, and patient intake; Scheduling Agent (Access) for self-scheduling, capacity recovery, and Smart Waitlist; and AI Co-Pilot (Mend Signal) for real-time operational analytics. Measurement-Based Care is a key module connecting MBC data to operational follow-through. Supporting sub-products include Digital Intake Forms, Automated Patient Payments, and EHR/PMS Integrations connecting to 14+ EHR platforms. The platform also includes Virtual Visits (telemedicine) for HIPAA-compliant video sessions. All modules work together to reduce no-shows, improve provider utilization, and capture revenue without replacing existing EHR systems.

Direct peers

• Luma Health: Enterprise patient engagement platform offering scheduling, reminders, intake, and AI-driven outreach across specialties. Closest direct competitor to Mend's Patient Readiness Agent for healthcare operators evaluating cross-vertical solutions.
• Valant: Behavioral health-specific EHR and practice management platform with patient engagement, scheduling, and outcomes tracking. Competes directly with Mend in serving outpatient mental health and addiction treatment providers.
• Qualifacts: Behavioral health EHR vendor (CareLogic, Credible, InSync) that Mend integrates with. Competes with Mend as the system of record for many of the same behavioral health customers, and could choose to build native patient engagement rather than partnering.
• Netsmart: Behavioral health and human services technology platform (myAvatar, myEvolv). Overlaps with Mend on workflow, scheduling, and patient engagement for behavioral health providers and could embed similar AI capabilities natively.
• Relatient: Patient engagement and scheduling platform with appointment reminders, self-scheduling, and payment tools. Competes with Mend in the same patient engagement category across outpatient and specialty providers.
• TherapyNotes: EHR and practice management software for behavioral health, offering scheduling, telehealth, and patient engagement. Direct overlap with Mend in serving therapy and mental health practices with operational workflows.
• SimplePractice: Practice management and patient engagement platform purpose-built for behavioral health and therapy practices. Competes with Mend across scheduling, telehealth, intake, and client engagement for solo and small-group mental health providers.

Broad incumbents

• athenahealth: Large ambulatory EHR and patient engagement vendor. Mend integrates bidirectionally with athenaOne but also competes with its native scheduling, reminders, and patient outreach capabilities at enterprise scale.
• Epic Systems: Dominant enterprise EHR vendor. Mend integrates with Epic for behavioral health customers, but Epic's native patient engagement, scheduling, and AI roadmap is a long-term competitive threat that could subsume Mend's value proposition.
• Zoom (Zoom for Healthcare): General-purpose video platform with a HIPAA-compliant healthcare offering. Competes with Mend's telemedicine module on virtual visits, particularly for larger health systems that prefer platform consolidation.
