Jimini Health introduced Sage, a clinically supervised AI therapist assistant, as part of its patient-facing behavioral health platform. Launched by Jimini Health, Sage provides 24/7 support between therapy sessions, featuring AI-driven conversations that clinicians can review and manage. The company announced a $17 million seed financing round to scale the technology to more care settings and national provider organizations.
The funding attracted investors including M13, Town Hall Ventures, LionBird, Zetta Venture Partners and OneMind and builds on Jimini Health’s 2024 debut. Sage includes guided exercises, conversational check-ins and handoffs to clinicians when needed, with all interactions visible to care teams to maintain clinical oversight. By extending access to continuous, supervised support, Sage aims to reduce gaps between appointments, improve adherence to therapeutic exercises and integrate AI as a monitored extension of clinical care.
