About Us
Transforming Mental Healthcare Through AI Innovation
We're on a mission to democratize mental healthcare by empowering therapists with clinical intelligence tools that enhance patient care and practice efficiency.
Our Mission
Mental health is a fundamental human right, yet access to quality care remains limited. We believe that technology can bridge this gap by empowering therapists to serve more patients well.
Mena.ai combines cutting-edge AI research with deep understanding of clinical workflows to create tools that enhance rather than replace the human connection at the heart of therapy.
Research-Backed Innovation
Mena grew out of peer-reviewed research at Instituto Superior Técnico and INESC-ID, and every feature is designed to reduce documentation work for clinicians.
