OUR STORY

SanLuca began with a heartfelt conversation 

Two psychiatrists were deeply concerned about the mental health crisis and lack of access to quality care.

They wondered if employing clinician-led AI and other emerging technologies could help behavioral health services scale to the point where they could become more accessible, affordable, and sustainable.

They also recognized that integrating behavioral health into everyday medical care would require not just new technology, but a practical way for care teams to implement and operate within this new model in real-world clinical settings.

Expanding our scope

After initial successes, we set out to prove our approach, anchored in clinical practice guidelines, could extend behavioral health into chronic disease where treating comorbidities improves outcomes. Palliative Care came next and we are now expanding into more service lines.
