Our peer-reviewed research shows that AI can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression to a similar magnitude as human-delivered care. Velora has been developed by clinicians, drawing on nearly a million hours of outcomes-indexed therapy data to support evidence-based care for anxiety and depression symptoms. Every interaction and exercise is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based principles, ensuring safety and clinically validated support for every user.

Depression and anxiety occur at 2-3 times higher rates in people with chronic health conditions. Mental health actively influences disease progression, mortality risk, and healthcare costs. Velora addresses the psychological factors that drive chronic condition outcomes using evidence-based techniques like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In collaboration with Roche, we delivered ACT therapy to patients with Type 2 diabetes and co-morbid anxiety or depression and showed increases in patient activation, and decreases in diabetes distress, demonstrating how targeting mental health can meaningfully improve chronic condition outcomes.

Yes. Our technology is supported by peer-reviewed research and rooted in evidence-based clinical practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). We continuously evaluate our technology to understand what works best, for whom, and why. We’re committed to safety, transparency, and real-world results you can trust.

Velora isn’t a generic chatbot. It’s purpose-built for mental health; designed and overseen by clinical experts; and tailored to each person’s context, symptom representation, and life challenges. While Velora's generative AI care agent “chats” with the user, personalized conversations and exercises adapt to each user’s goals. Velora is designed this way on purpose so it feels like a guided program that teaches people the skills they need to build resilience and feel better for the long haul.

Velora's responsible AI framework prioritizes transparency, accountability, and governance. We protect sensitive data through de-identification, PII masking, and explicit consent. Human oversight and clinical governance are embedded throughout the AI lifecycle. Expert review ensures clinical and ethical standards, while explainability tools make outputs understandable. Our safety approach includes rigorous testing (aligned with NIST standards), in-program guardrails to prevent misuse, and continuous post-deployment monitoring through audits and clinical oversight.
