Intermountain Health Sells Its Behavioral Health Risk Model to Neuroflow

Neuroflow acquired Intermountain Health’s behavioral health risk analytics model to integrate into its software platform. The model identifies which patients may be at risk of experiencing mental health crises so that care teams can step in to provide timely support.

This week, Philadelphia-based behavioral health tech company Neuroflow completed its third acquisition. The company acquired Intermountain Health’s behavioral health risk analytics model to integrate into its software platform.

Neuroflow, which was founded in 2016, offers software that helps providers integrate behavioral health into overall healthcare.

“We think healthcare organizations can’t manage the quality and outcomes of someone’s care — and the cost of that care — without managing behavioral health. That means identification, triage, navigation and measurement of that care, and you have to be able to do it at scale — consistently and over a large population,” said Robert Capobianco, NeuroFlow’s chief commercial officer.

Neuroflow’s platform allows providers to give patients behavioral health assessments that can detect a wide range of conditions, including anxiety and depression. The platform engages with patients by giving them personalized self care activities and allowing them to log daily insights like sleep patterns and mood scores. This enables the platform to measure patients’ progress and update their risk levels. 

The platform also gives providers AI-powered clinical decision support tools to determine the best care plan for each patient. 

Overall, the goal of Neuroflow’s platform is to integrate behavioral health services into primary care as seamlessly as possible by moving away from burdensome paper forms and written assessments.

The company thinks Intermountain’s analytics model will be a key addition to its software offerings, Capobianco added.

The Salt Lake City-based health system’s predictive algorithm identifies which patients may be at risk of experiencing mental health crises, such as suicide or episodes requiring emergency psychiatric care. The AI model uses data from the EHR and other sources to identify patients who may benefit from early intervention and clinical support.

“We’re honored to work with an organization as prestigious as Intermountain, which is an integrated delivery system. They’ve worked on this algorithm for a decade or maybe a little less so, so it has a high level of data sophistication,” Capobianco remarked.

The news of Neuroflow’s acquisition of the AI model comes less than a year after the company announced a partnership with Intermountain Health. Last July, Intermountain began piloting Neuroflow’s behavioral health tech platform at primary care locations in Colorado.

The company’s purchase of Intermountain’s algorithm follows two previous acquisitions. Neuroflow bought Owl, a provider of measurement-based behavioral health care, in June, and it acquired behavioral health company Capital Solution Design in 2023.
