Prairie Health (Acquired By Carbon Health)

Prairie Health is a data-driven telemedicine company for anxiety & depression that helps people get better through personalized treatment and ongoing care. Currently, prescribing providers resort to a trial-and-error approach to medication, and half of all patients discontinue treatment within 6 months. We provide more effective care by helping patients get the right medication at the right dosage the first time, made possible via pharmacogenetics and deep learning on psychiatric medical record datasets. How does Prairie care model actually work? To reduce the trial and error approach to medication, we offer all members a genetic test during their first month, which helps the psychiatrists we partner with determine the right starting dosage for any medication prescribed. Our Care Partners (trained mental health professionals) then provide ongoing counseling and support over text between members' monthly psychiatry appointments.
