Cedars-Sinai Health Ventures has joined a $25 million funding round for an AI-powered behavioral healthcare startup.

The venture capital arm of the Los Angeles-based health system participated in the preempted series B financing Nov. 6 for Amae Health, which plans to open more clinics to complement its virtual-only and chatbot-driven care.

“Amae is advancing a model of care that prioritizes clinical excellence and compassionate, patient-centered services,” said Itai Danovitch, MD, chair of psychiatry and behavioral neurosciences at Cedars-Sinai, in a news release. “By combining an outstanding team of clinicians with a thoughtful approach to long-term care, Amae is delivering outcomes that are both significant and sustainable.”
